Home loan news
Why compare home loans?
Home loans, for most people, will be the biggest expense they ever have. Homes cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a home loan can cost a couple of hundred thousand in interest costs on top of that, spread out over several decades.
That’s why picking a good home loan, one with a low rate, low fees and useful features, is a must if you want to not pay tens of thousands more than you need to.
Randomly picking a home loan is almost never a good idea. This page has a home loan comparison calculator, which will allow you to compare several different home loans so you can find the best one for you.
How to compare home loans
When comparing home loans, there are several key things you need to factor in:
- The interest rate: A lower interest rate, as well as different kinds of interest rates (variable or fixed etc.), can result in thousands of dollars in savings
- The repayment type: The two different repayment types (principal and interest or interest-only) can also change how much you pay in the short-term and overall.
- The fees: A home loan with excessive upfront and ongoing fees can cost hundreds if not thousands more per year, compared to a loan that has few fees.
You might also prefer a home loan with extra features, such as an offset account, a redraw facility, a split-rate option and more.
A good mortgage comparison calculator can help you make a choice.
