Did you know it
may be possible to save tens of thousands of dollars in interest and cut years
off your loan term?
You may be surprised by the difference a rate drop can make to your
home loan repayment outlook.
Thanks to the RBA’s decision to cut rates in November,
borrowers are feeling rate relief for the first time in over two
years. This will undoubtedly ease the financial tension and repayment
levels for many Aussie borrowers in time for Christmas.
Assuming lenders pass on the entire 0.25 percentage point cut, it will
equate to $50 less in minimum monthly repayments on a 30-year $300,000
mortgage at 7%.
If a borrower on the above mentioned loan ignores the rate cut and
continues paying at their ‘usual’ repayment level,
the extra $50 per month would eventually save them around $22,000 in
interest and almost two years off their loan term.
Imagine what can be achieved if the loan had an even lower interest
rate and/or fees!
Online shopping is a growing trend when scouting for better deals on
insurance, travel, clothing and now home loans. The question is are
you going to make savings from the recent rate cut by comparing online
your current loan to others in the market to see if a well suited and better
priced option exists?
