Home Loan $650k - Should I Fix Rate or Variable or Split?

I have a loan of $650000. I have variable rate of 2.64%. Should I consider to do split? Can you please help me to save on my interest. I have 100k offset as well.

    Here's a tip for you: this post and your last post had the title all in capitals. In internet world, that's considered shouting and quite off-putting.

    • im sorry

        No sorry, just fix it.

  • Are you thinking of selling in the next 2 years?

    If not split 100%, you’ll save around 2k a year if you split 400k @ 2.14%.

  • what im planning to sell it? how much is break fee

      not worth it LOL.
      Maybe go online and do some research about this.

  • Contact your friendly financial Institution. Are you still waiting for loan approval? Refinance with Major Bank - Has Been Months without Approval

  • What is your fixed rate?

    You can always do a 50/50 split and fix. I think unless RBA goes negative it is unlikely interest rates will go down further. RBA would do a lot more QE before going for negative rates, as Europe shows. Negative rates is not the answer.

  • 2 percent fixed rate. you think ill save more money?

    It's scary to think that people are borrowing $100000s to invest but can't work out which interest rate is best.

  • Are you with Macquarie? There's other factors to consider - with Fixed you don't benefit from 100% offset, and you're limited with additional payments you make. Everyone's circumstances are different, so you need to research what is better for you.

  • im with commbank, got 100 percent offset. just want to know if i can save more if split the loan because they offer 2 percent fixed rate for 4 years.

    • You can't offset fixed loan. So you want to split out 100k variable at least to offset.

  • also got 100k offset savings

    • Is it investment or owner occupied?

  • Can’t decide on important manners, post (with no context) on OzB to seek direction.

    • Plot twist - remaining loan term is 1 year so interest rates don't matter
