The rate is now down to 3.60% p.a. (3.62% p.a. comparison rate*)
Borrowers with LVRs up to 85% also saw the same home loan cut by 104 basis points, now down to 3.40% p.a. (3.42% p.a. comparison rate*).
Owner-occupiers also saw some big cuts, with the variable Low Rate Essentials product with a maximum 90% LVR seeing a 95 basis point haircut - now down to 3.15% p.a. (3.18% p.a. comparison rate*).

All products will list the LVR with the product and rate which are clearly published on the Product Provider’s web site. Monthly repayments, once the base criteria are altered by the user, will be based on the selected products’ advertised rates and determined by the loan amount, repayment type, loan term and LVR as input by the user/you. *The Comparison rate is based on a $150,000 loan over 25 years. Warning: this comparison rate is true only for this example and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.

New 'lowest ever' home loan
At the start of the week, Reduce Home Loans also introduced its 'lowest ever' home loan.
Called the 'Rate Cutter', it's a variable product for owner-occupiers, primarily aimed at those with either a big deposit or those who are refinancing and have built up some equity, as it has a maximum LVR of 60%.
The rate is 1.89% p.a. (1.92% p.a. comparison rate*).
Reduce also has another sub-2% advertised rate home loan for borrowers with a smaller deposit.
Overall, in Savings.com.au's market research, there are ten lenders offering sub-2% home loans.
