Parramatta is the second CBD of Sydney — home to major government departments, financial services firms, the Westmead hospital precinct, and a rapidly expanding tech and professional services sector. Parramatta unit and house values have been underpinned by continued infrastructure investment, Metro connectivity, and strong rental demand.
Many Parramatta homeowners — particularly those who bought during the 2020–2022 period — are on loans that are no longer competitive. Banks aggressively compete for new business while existing customers quietly pay rates 0.5%–1.2% higher than they need to. On an $850,000 balance (typical for a Parramatta apartment), that gap costs $4,250–$10,200 per year.
We also see a large cohort of IT contractors and consultants in Parramatta who are unable to refinance through their current bank because their income is structured through a company or trust. Specialist lenders on our panel assess contractor income using bank statements and accountant letters — allowing these high-income borrowers to access the competitive rates they've been missing out on.
