With our states in and out of lockdown, and many of us spending more time at home, Aussies have been rushing to 'spring clean' their home loan. Why? Because Aussies are realising that staying just a little more active on their home loan can mean some seriously big savings.

Move over Marie Kondo - there's a new organisational trend sweeping the nation - and it's not at all what you would expect.

With our states in and out of lockdown, and many of us spending more time at home, Aussies have been rushing to 'spring clean' their home loan.

Why? Because Aussies are realising that staying just a little more active on their home loan can mean some seriously big savings.
