Crunch: Forget That New Mortgage!

Rising interest rates are already putting more pressure on households and now banks are reducing their ability to lend at high multiples with an effective reduction of “Borrowing Power” of up to 20%. Combined, this will put more stress on property owners and renovators.

APRA has written to the banks stressing the importance of sound mortgage lending. Better late than never!

WA may well see some of the biggest changes.

Kiwi’s Vote With Their Wallet…

A quick look at the very gloomy New Zealand Household Confidence Index.

The News From New Zealand is getting worse and worse (such that next years election result will now be really interesting). The latest is from the Westpac Mcdermott Miller Consumer Confidence survey results released this week.

https://www.westpac.co.nz/assets/Business/tools-rates-fees/documents/economic-updates/2022/Bulletins/Q2-Consumer-conf-Jun-2022-Westpac-NZ.pdf

Confidence among New Zealand households has plummeted, dropping to its lowest levels since we began surveying consumers back in 1988. The Westpac McDermott Miller Consumer Confidence Index fell 13 points in the June quarter to a level of 78.7. Confidence has only come close to these sorts of lows twice before – first during the recession in the early-1990s, and then again during the Global Financial Crisis in 2008/09.

Sydney’s Debt Sheep Are Scrambling Like Rats

With the RBA now tightening interest rates, what is critical to understand when the RBA will officially surrender to inflation is to look at forward leading indicators.

When it comes to the property market, Adams and North think there are three indicators which need to be paid close attention to, which are:

  • Consumer Confidence;
  • New property starts (something which Adams and North will come back to); and
  • Property listings.

Today, Adams and North are going to focus on residential property listings for Sydney and the surrounding regional suburbs using data from SQM Research. Property listing data is a better forward leading indicator than credit, because vendors list their properties on the market before buyers and borrowers purchase property.

We should note in a previous show, Adams indicated that the three areas of the property which are likely to crack first are:

  • New housing estates;
  • Commercial property; and
  • Residential investor property.
