The ABS released the Lending to Households and Businesses data for January 2022 today. The data provides statistics on housing finance commitments.
“First home buyers remain more active in the market now than before the pandemic, despite the reduction in the value of lending in recent months,” added Mr Devitt.
“First home buyers are very sensitive to changes in market confidence, tightening of finance and declining affordability.
“Owner occupiers (excluding first home buyers) and investors, on the other hand, both reached new record highs in January in terms of the value of loans. The activity of owner occupiers has kept investors to only a third of the market, compared to over 40 per cent back in 2015.
“Lending for renovations has also maintained record high levels. The value of loans in the last eight month were double that of the equivalent period a year earlier,” concluded Mr Devitt.
The state government has established the Small Sites Pilot Program to unlock government land for housing development.
“Sales of new detached homes increased by 18.8 per cent in the three months to June 2025 compared to the previous three months,” stated HIA Chief Economist, Tim Reardon.
“The Housing Industry Association has welcomed the Northern Territory Government’s commitment to streamlining the Territory’s planning and building approval system,” HIA Executive Director NT, Luis Espinoza said today.
“HIA welcomes the release of the new NSW Housing Pattern Book, which is another tool that could help make the delivery of new housing in NSW easier,” said Brad Armitage, HIA NSW Executive Director.
