“Lending for new homes is down by 62.4 per cent since its peak in January 2021, to its lowest level since November 2012,” added Mr Reardon.
“Sales of new homes have stalled in recent months as market confidence declines.
“This poor data is as a consequence of the fastest increase in the cash rate in a generation. Despite this, the impact of last year’s rate increases won’t be fully apparent until late this year.

“There are significant lags between a change in the cash rate and its impact on the economy. In this cycle, it will take up to 18 months before the impact of the May 2022 rate increase fully flows through to employment in the sector.
“The supply chain disruptions of the pandemic are easing. Inflation in other economies is slowing and interest rates are not the only tool at governments’ disposal to address the inflationary problem,” concluded Mr Reardon.
