Welcome to your monthly low rates roundup with Aussie, where we cut through the noise and get straight to what matters: securing you a great home loan deal. Every month our team does the legwork to find the sharpest interest rates in the market.

With the rising cost of living and mortgage repayments pinching harder than ever, staying informed has never been more important. That’s where we come in.

We’re for buyers, full stop. While much of the real estate world might favour property owners looking to sell, at Aussie, we’ve got your back if you want to purchase, invest, or simply find a better deal for your home loan.

This month’s lowest advertised rates from our panel lenders
