Top 4 reasons why a variable rate mortgage can put you further ahead

General Nazarina DiSpirito 6 Jun

When looking at your mortgage options, you will be faced with the decision on whether to choose a fixed or variable rate mortgage.  As a mortgage broker, it is my job to help you determine which option is better for your situation. 

However, there are compelling reasons as to why a variable mortgage rate may be best for you, outlined by my colleague, Teresa Martin Grier:

  1. 1. It’s usually a cheaper interest rate;
  2. 2. It’s always a better monthly P+I repayment distribution;
  3. 3. More flexible contract terms, and cheaper to get out of if you need to;
  4. 4. Banks are NOT going to increase your VRM payment severely. 

While a flexible rate is appealing, it is always best to speak with a mortgage broker which rate type will best suit your specific mortgage needs.
