Surge in demand for
home loans
HOME loan demand is on a continuous climb, rising 1 percent higher over the month of April. According to the April Housing Finance Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 53,951 home loans were approved over the course of the month – up from 53,442 in March. Mortgage Choice CEO, John Flavell said low interest rates was keeping housing very popular with potential home buyers and property investors. “Rates are sitting at all-time lows, which is encouraging all types of potential buyers to take the leap and purchase property. “We haven’t seen this level of demand for home loans since 2009 when the boosted First Home Owner grants were in place.” Given that home loan demand is so strong, Mr Flavell said he isn’t surprised to see home values increasing month after month. “According to new data from Core Logic, dwelling values across the combined capital cities grew 0.8 percent over the month of April. Sydney, Adelaide and Hobart were the strongest performers over the month, with the capital cities recording property value growth of 1 percent, 1.6 percent and 1.6 percent respectively.”
