The Gold Coast property market is booming, and navigating it takes more than guesswork. Whether you’re upgrading your family home, buying for the first time, or expanding your investment portfolio, choosing the right home loan is key to long-term financial success.
With rising property values and constantly shifting lending policies, it’s important to match your loan type to your income, expenses, goals, and comfort with risk. A well-structured loan doesn’t just help you secure the property—it sets you up to manage repayments confidently, using features like offset accounts and redraw facilities to stay flexible.
As your local Gold Coast mortgage broker, CBM Mortgages breaks down the main types of home loans available so you can make smart, strategic decisions with clarity and confidence.
Lock in your interest rate for a set term (1–5 years), ideal for predictable budgeting in a market with fluctuating rates. Please note these types of loans have restrictions on lump sum or additional repayments.
Flexible repayments that respond to market conditions beneficial if you’re comfortable with possible rate drops or increases. A great option if you are looking to make additional repayments.
Favoured by investors seeking lower initial repayments and tax efficiency, although principal isn't reduced during the interest-only period.
With any loan size its important to know your interest rate from day one
Typically 25–30 years longer terms lower monthly costs but increase overall interest, while shorter terms accelerate equity build.
The most common repayment type and more suitable if your salary is paid on a monthly basis
Can assist you pay off your loan quicker with the balance reducing 26 times a year instead of the monthly option of 12 times.
Optimises budgeting and cash flow control
An offset account is a transaction account that’s linked to your home loan. The money you keep in it doesn’t earn interest—instead, it offsets the balance of your loan, reducing the interest you pay.
Let’s say you have a home loan of $600,000 and an offset account with $50,000 in it. You’ll only be charged interest on $550,000—because the offset balance reduces your loan principal for interest calculations.
It’s a smart way to keep your money working for you while staying flexible. Many Gold Coast mortgage brokers recommend offset accounts for buyers who want to stay ahead without locking away their funds.
A redraw facility lets you access any extra repayments you’ve made on your home loan. If you’ve been paying more than the minimum, that surplus builds up—and you can dip into it when needed.
Let’s say your minimum repayment is $2,000/month, but you’ve been paying $2,500. That extra $500/month adds up over time. With redraw, you can pull that money back out if life throws you a curveball—or if you want to fund a renovation, holiday, or investment opportunity.
It’s like a built-in rainy-day fund—smart, flexible, and totally under your control. Many recommend redraw for borrowers who want to stay proactive without locking away their cash.
Note: Interest-only loans normally require monthly repayments and restrict access to flexible features during their interest-only term.
The Gold Coast is part of the fast-growing “Golden Arc” connecting Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast—and it’s booming. With house prices nudging $1.2 million and units delivering strong rental yields, demand from both local and interstate buyers is showing no signs of slowing down.
Suburbs like Palm Beach, Coomera, Burleigh Heads, and Southport offer a powerful mix of lifestyle appeal, rental demand, and long-term capital growth. Whether you’re buying to live or investing for returns, the right loan structure can make all the difference.
