Greater Bank Ultimate 1 Year Fixed Home Loan - 2.99% (CR: 4.42%)

70

Been shopping around for a home loan to refinance to and with the potential rate cut around the corner, I stumbled across Greater Bank's announcement to reduce their rates ahead of the RBA announcement. The reduced rate will start 3rd of June, I assume many other lenders will follow as well.

Greater Bank will offer the lowest one-year fixed rate home loan in the market, after announcing today that it will reduce the interest rate on it's Ultimate Home Loan and Great Rate Home Loan to 2.99%p.a.

The new rates will be effective from Monday, June 3rd and available to new home loan customers or existing home loan customers wishing to refinance to a fixed term product.

    Wow … don’t jump on this peeps. Rates r coming down and I’m sure there will be much better offers or similar shortly ;)

    • I did mention the upcoming rate cut. Hopefully, more lenders would announce ahead of Tuesday :)

    Please put 4.42% Comparison rate in the title as that tells the real picture.

    • +3

      Keep in mind that comparison rates are based on a loan amount of 150k. So it matters more when your loan size is smaller.. but if you're borrowing say 1m, it may not be as relevant.

    revert to variable rates after 12 months.
    Those rates are currently 4.35%

      Haha wow what a shit deal offer low rates house prices go down then your locked into that lender as you don't have LVR of 80% put rates up after 12 months then profit

    going to be interesting in 5 or so years down track, if rates get back to 6-7% how many can afford to repay the differance from the 3-4% they pay now

    • +6

      hate to tell you this, the chance of rates going back to 7%, is like expecting money to fall from the sky

      • thats why I said 5 or so years down track, its just a cycle, economy is borderline recession, they are trying to increase spending by dropping rates but thats just a cheap money trap, eventually rates have to go back up hopefully its later than sooner, people feeling mortgage stress now will be a disaster down track if more lock themselves in loans they dont factor in higher rates one day

        • Those in stress already had, the banks had cracked down on easy lending criteria nearly 2 years ago well before the major housing downturn. Stories like what happened in the us in the GFC won't happen here any time soon.

    • Last time I heard that 7-8% was 4 years ago and nothing came close. RBA already got rate down too low they can't afford to bring it close to zero in last couple of years already.

    • Going to be interesting too see. Personally I am avoiding buying property for at least a few years. It's way too risky right now, disaster is a very high possibility

  • Hyper inflation, incoming….. you can’t just print money and expect it to all be ok. It will byte back one day

    Loss leading rate to get you in but lookout if in a year's time, especially if refinancing out becomes a non-option for you.

  • +2

    Beware of a 1 year fixed "special/introductory" rate on a 25-30 year loan. Definitely do some research!

  • +3

    Definitely a good deal, you just obviously have to remember to refinance after 12 months.
