Why it’s worth reviewing your loan when interest rates fall
When interest rates begin to drop, it’s a good time to pause and review your current home loan. Even if you're not looking to make immediate changes, understanding how your loan compares to what’s now available could reveal valuable opportunities. A lower-rate environment may offer the chance to improve your loan structure, whether it’s through reducing monthly repayments, shortening your loan term, or improving cash flow. These benefits could help you free up funds for other goals, including enhancing your investment portfolio or tackling renovations you've been putting off.
If your loan was originally taken out when rates were higher, there's a good chance that more competitive options are now on the market. Some lenders may even offer perks like waived fees or cashback incentives. That said, it's important to look at the full picture, including any costs tied to switching, such as break fees or differences in features.
Reviewing your loan doesn’t always lead to refinancing, but it can clarify whether your current setup is still working for you, or whether it’s time to consider a better fit.
