Is it time to refinance?

Interest rates are beginning to fall, so could now be a prime time to take stock of your mortgage and consider switching lenders?

This week on the Friends With Money podcast, Money’s Tom Watson is joined by Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder, to discuss the latest interest rate movements and the ins and outs of refinancing a home loan.

  • How have banks reacted to the recent RBA cut?
  • What are the lowest mortgage rates on the market?
  • Can negotiating with your current lender actually work?
  • When can switching home loans be a good or bad option?
  • How does refinancing alone differ from using a broker?
