“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.
