Frequently asked questions
- What is the lowest 1 year fixed home loan rate?
- As at 31 July 2026, the lowest verified match at 80% LVR is 6.19% p.a. (6.23% comparison rate) from Macquarie Bank Limited. The rate and comparison rate come from the same exact row; eligibility still depends on the application.
- How often are these rates updated?
- Promoted rate claims use the verified 80% LVR snapshot dated 31 July 2026. Broader comparison-table rows may refresh more frequently, but they do not drive the answer capsule, metadata or sticky rate.
- Is the lowest rate always the best loan for me?
- Not always. The cheapest headline rate can come without features like an offset account, and your deposit size, income type and goals all change which loan suits you. Use the rate as a starting point, then weigh the features that matter to your situation.
- What is a comparison rate?
- A comparison rate folds most ongoing fees into a single percentage so you can weigh loans on their true cost rather than the advertised headline rate alone. It is the metric these rankings sort on.
