What is a home loan?

A home loan, also known as a mortgage, is a type of loan that is designed to help individuals finance the purchase of a residential property. This can be their own home or an investment property.

It is a long-term loan provided by a financial institution, such as a bank or lender. The property is the security for the loan, and lenders require borrowers to save a deposit.

Fixed rate vs. variable rate home loans

Fixed rate

  • Rate stability. Your interest rate remains the same for a set period, usually between 1 to 5 years.
  • Lack of flexibility. Often comes with fewer flexible features like offset accounts or redraw facilities. You usually cannot refinance during the fixed period.
  • Limited additional repayments. Often have restrictions on the amount of additional repayments you can make during the fixed period.

Variable rate

  • Rate flexibility. Your interest rate fluctuates based on market conditions. If rates decrease, you can benefit from lower repayments.
  • Increased flexibility. More options for additional repayments via offset and extra repayment/redraw facilities.
  • Rate uncertainty. If rates rise, your mortgage repayments will increase, potentially causing financial strain.

How to compare home loans

Here's a breakdown of features and charges you should know about.

FeatureWhat is it?What you should know
Interest RateThe percentage charged by the lender on the amount borrowed.The higher the interest rate, the higher your repayments will be.
Comparison RateDesigned to help borrowers understand the true cost of the home loan by considering both the interest rate and loan fees.The comparison rate is based on an example calculation and is not an exact indication of a loan's costs to you.
p.a.This abbreviation of "per annum" is used for home loan interest rates, because the annual (or yearly) value is shown.While interest is expressed as an annual percentage, most borrowers make monthly or fortnightly repayments.
Offset AccountA transaction account linked to a home loan. The balance on the offset account is deducted from the amount owed when calculating interest.The more money you put in an offset, the less interest your lender charges you. Your monthly repayments stay the same but you can repay the loan faster.
Redraw facilityAllows borrowers to access extra funds that they have voluntarily paid towards their mortgage (on top of usual repayments).Any additional repayments you make will reduce the amount owing on your loan, so when you redraw from those funds the amount you owe will increase again.

How much can you save by refinancing in 2025?

We estimate that the average person could save up to $8,148 a year by switching to a lower rate:
  • The average Australian home loan is now $665,978 (according to the ABS) - a record high!
  • The average variable interest rate loan in Finder's database is 7.01%. The lowest available variable rate on the market is 5.44%.
  • Assuming a 30-year loan term, if you switched to that lower rate your monthly repayments would drop from $4,436 to $3,757. That's a saving of $679 every month, or $8,148 a year.
Data is correct as of 1 April 2025. This savings example is a hypothetical estimate only. The lowest rate is for an owner-occupier loan with 80% LVR.

What is Finder Score?

Finder Score is an easy, data-driven way to judge home loans at a glance. Our insights team compares more than 7,000 home loans across 120+ lenders to give each product a score out of 10 comparative to other products of its type.

This means we compare products against others of its type. For example, variable rate home loans against variable rate home loans, and investor home loans against investor home loans. In total, there are 12 different product groupings.

We filter the loans in our database for each category so that we're only looking at loans that work for the borrower type. So, if we're picking the best loan for first home buyers, we'll only look at lenders that lend to first home buyers and have a maximum LVR of 90%.

The final Finder Score takes into account the product's interest rate and its fees. The higher the score, the lower the cost compared to other products of its type.

What the Finder Score mean for home loans

  • 9+ Excellent - These are the home loans which offer the lowest costs coupled with plenty of features, giving the best overall value.
  • 7+ Great - These home loans may have slightly higher interest rates, maybe a fee or two, or fewer features, but overall, a competitive offering.
  • 5+ Satisfactory - Usually these home loans would offer above average rates and may still include some competitive features, but they're not the best value for the overall cost.
  • Less than 5 - Basic - These home loans have higher costs and/or fewer features than other home loans on the market.
