Should You Refinance in 2025? Here’s How to Know

Should You Refinance in 2025? Here’s How to Know

Should You Refinance in 2025? Here’s How to Know

Interest rates. Rising costs. Lenders trying to keep you locked in. Welcome to the 2025 refinance jungle.

But here’s the deal — if you haven’t looked at your mortgage in 18+ months, there’s a good chance you’re paying more than you need to.

We break down:

  • What refinancing is

  • When it’s worth doing (and when it’s not)

  • What to look for in a better deal

  • How a mortgage broker makes the process simple


🔁 What Is Refinancing?

It’s when you swap your current home loan for a new one — often with a different lender — to get a better rate or features.

You can:

  • Lower your interest rate

  • Reduce your repayments

  • Access equity for renovations or investments

  • Switch to a loan with better features (like an offset account)


🕵️‍♂️ Signs You Might Be Due for a Refinance

  • Your rate starts with a 6 or higher

  • You’re still on a fixed rate from 2–3 years ago

  • You’ve built up equity

  • You want better features (offset, redraw, flexibility)

  • You’re feeling stuck and want options


💰 How Much Can You Actually Save?

Let’s say:

  • $600k loan

  • Current rate: 6.3%

  • New rate: 5.8%

That’s around $150/month saved. Over 3 years = $5,400.

Not bad for a few hours of admin — which we handle for you.


⚠️ When NOT to Refinance

Sometimes it’s not the right move.

  • If you’re mid-fixed with a big break fee

  • If your current lender has loyalty perks you need

  • If you’ve just bought and haven’t built up equity

That’s why we review the numbers and tell you straight.


🧰 How Nude Makes Refinancing Easy

We:

  • Compare your current loan to 30+ lenders

  • Crunch the real savings

  • Help you switch smoothly (or stay put if that’s smarter)

We’ll even let your current lender know — and help you negotiate if you want to stay.


👥 Real Nude Story: Amanda & Leo in Preston

They refinanced with us in March 2025:

  • Switched from a 6.5% rate to 5.89%

  • Got an offset account + fee-free redraw

  • Saved $218/month

“It was easier than changing energy providers. Wish we’d done it sooner.”
