Frequently asked questions
-
A variable home loan is a type of mortgage where the interest rate can change over the loan period. The interest rate is influenced by a number of factors including the official cash rate and market changes. This means that your monthly repayments can vary, either increasing or decreasing throughout the loan term.
Variable home loans offer borrowers flexibility and the potential to take advantage of interest rate decreases. When rates are low, borrowers may enjoy lower repayments and potentially save on interest over time. However, there is also the possibility that interest rates may rise, leading to higher monthly repayments.
Variable home loans often come with additional features like the ability to make extra repayments or access redraw facilities, giving borrowers more control over their loan.
-
The difference between a fixed-rate home loan and a variable rate home loan is in the interest rate structure. With a fixed-rate home loan, the interest rate remains constant for a set period, typically one to five years.
At the end of the five years, the loan will usually switch to a variable rate. In contrast, a variable rate home loan has an interest rate that can change, usually in response to market conditions. This means that your repayments can fluctuate over time, potentially increasing or decreasing based on changes in interest rates.
Macquarie offers flexible options, with the ability to split your loan between variable and fixed interest rates to suit your circumstances.
-
Redraw is a product feature that allows you to make extra payments to reduce the outstanding balance of your home loan, which in turn reduces the amount of interest you pay. A redraw facility may allow you to access the extra payments you’ve made up to your loan limit at that time.
-
The home loan interest rate is the actual rate at which interest is charged on your home loan and doesn’t include fees.
The home loan comparison rate is a rate that helps you work out the true cost of the loan and allows you to compare rates amongst other lenders. It reduces to a single percentage figure the interest rate plus some of the fees and charges relating to a loan. As well as the comparison rate, it’s important to consider the features each loan offers and how valuable these are to you.
