Different types of home loans

When looking to select a home mortgage loan, there’s a sea of options available. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of home loans available to borrowers.

• Variable rate loans: the go-to option for many homebuyers. Interest rates change depending on the Reserve Bank’s cash rate. Many variable loan products have a redraw facility, offset account and extra repayments facility.
• Fixed rate loans: this type of loan locks in your interest rate for a set period at a rate above the current variable rate. Borrowers who worry about affordability may prefer having a set rate.
• Interest only loans: popular with property investors, it allows you to own your own abode without much in your piggy bank.
• Low deposit home loans: with some extra interest and costs, homebuyers can access the real estate market with lower savings.
