Finance Summary for the Summer
The upshot is that mortgage lending activity is showing ‘responsible’ growth, with the easing of the banks’ internal serviceability tests, which started in late August, likely to still be playing a key role in boosting demand.
Looking ahead, low interest rates are likely to keep owner-occupiers keen to sell in the coming months, while investor demand should also stay solid on the back of those low mortgages rates, as well as the lack of attractive, ‘low risk’ alternatives to property.
