Bank accounts for home sale savings

Bank accounts for home sale savings

14 August 2008

Bank accounts can currently provide very decent returns on savings, and as many bank accounts pay interest on a monthly basis, the more money you keep saved, the better. Many individuals who are finding it necessary to sell their houses because of rising interest rates may find that they can come away with a reasonable amount of cash. Choosing to keep this money in the right types of bank accounts could lead to a reasonable amount of interest earned within just a year.

With many savings accounts offering interest rates as high as 8.00% p.a. at the moment, imagine what a deposit of $50,000 could earn over a year. The first month would earn around $335, which in turn will earn around another $2 in the following month. While this may not sound like much at first, it will soon begin to add up, with the amount after twelve months being around $54,149.97 as long as no fees are charged.
