Our verdict
Homestar’s Star Gold Variable home loan offers a low interest rate, minimal fees and a 100% offset account.
This loan is a really good option for borrowers who have saved very large deposits because you need a 30% deposit to get it. Most borrowers in Australia don't have that much. That makes this loan well-suited to refinancers who have had their loans for a while. If you've built up 30% home equity, you can get this very low rate. A 100% offset account also makes this loan very useful if you need somewhere to put your savings and pay less interest.
Pros
-
Very low variable interest rate
-
No ongoing fees
-
100% offset account
Cons
-
Requires a very large deposit

I want to check if the homestar rate 3.99 includes all the RBA increases until today or there are any pending increases they still need to pass on?

Hi Vishal,
Homestar advised that the interest rate does not include the RBA increase. The adjusted rates are expected to be released by next week.
Kind regards,

Hi there,
We are in the process of buying our next home and need advice on the best home loans and the best use of the money we have in the bank, i.e., if we should put every dollar into the next house or leave some in the bank.
Also, how much do you charge?
Kind regards,
Olga
