What changes when you compare home loans in Sydney
Sydney carries the highest dwelling values in the country, so even a small move in the comparison rate can shift a Sydney repayment by hundreds of dollars a month. Your interest rate does not change with your postcode, but the size of the loan does, and so does the cash going in. First home buyers in Sydney can combine the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant with the NSW stamp duty concession and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $1,500,000 (Sydney + regional centres) / $800,000 (rest of NSW). Those three can move your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without touching the rate column above.
