  • Maybe add a poll

  • In case you didn't know there is a very active thread at WP discussing 'best home loan rates'

  • Why pay more for variable, when you could just fix for 12 months?

    Even if rates dropped. Would providers still pass on the savings?

    • +3

      They dont pass it on if your fixed.

  • Or another stategy - go with the best cashback (ANZ/St gerorge et al.) - then go to tictoc/reduce after a year or so

    And strategy b - refinance every year or 2 to whoever has the biggest cashback - to earn $4k every time

    Being a new customer of any institution seems to get you the best rate - so it pays to move whether it be for the cashback or the better rate.
