Disclaimer: If your loan is already fixed then it’s best NOT to try to fix it with the new rate within the fixed term as it might incur break cost.

Should I fix my loan?

There isn’t a suitable answer to do this as it’s mostly based on your short and long term goals.

But typically, you shouldn’t fix your loan if you plan to sell your property, renovate, refinance your home loan within the fixed term or want the option to make large extra repayments on your home loan.

Interestingly, leading industry experts are predicting another cash rate cut by the RBA of 0.25% before the end of this year, with yet another rate cut forecasted for 2020.

So, staying on a variable rate home loan to see how low interest rates could get, can be a decent option.
