Understanding Variable Rate Home Loans
A Variable Rate Home Loan is a mortgage where the interest rate can fluctuate over the loan period. These changes are often in response to economic factors and decisions made by the Reserve Bank of Australia, as well as other market conditions. The hallmark of a variable rate loan is flexibility, both in terms of interest rates and additional loan features.
Benefits of Variable Rate Home Loans
The primary advantage of variable rate home loans is their potential to save money over the loan’s life if interest rates decrease. These loans often come with flexible features such as the ability to make extra repayments without penalty, redraw facilities, and offset accounts, which can significantly reduce the amount of interest paid over time. This flexibility is ideal for borrowers who anticipate changes in their financial circumstances or those looking to take advantage of potential interest rate drops.
