Dip in approvals investment growth,” he said.

ACCORDING to the May Housing Finance Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 50,366 home loans were approved over the course of the month - down from 53,643 the month prior.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said this is the smallest number of home loan approvals recorded since August 2013.

“Over the month of May, we saw a 6.1 per cent drop in the number of dwelling commitments for all owneroccupied housing, as well as an 8.3 per cent drop in the number of home loans approved for the construction of dwellings,” he said.

“And it wasn’t just the number of home loans approvals that fell over the month of May, the value of all dwelling approvals also took a fall.”

Just over $31 billion worth of home loans were approved over the month of May, down 4.4 per cent on the month prior.

“Of course, while some of the changes made applied purely to investment lending, others went right across the board and impacted both owneroccupiers and investors.

AUCTION

The value of owneroccupied dwelling commitments dropped 5.3 per cent to just over $18 billion, while the value of investment loans tumbled 3.2 per cent to $13 billion.

“Because of this, I am not surprised to see a drop off in the level of home loan demand in May. Moving forward, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this weaker level of demand continue, especially when you consider that the next few months of data will be from winter - which is a notoriously quiet time for the property market.”

Speaking about the data, Mr Flavell said he wasn’t surprised to see a dip in home loan activity in May given that a lot of lenders made changes to their lending policy that month.

Furthermore, Mr Flavell said global uncertainty - including the growing problems in Greece and China - may encourage potential buyers to take a seat on the sidelines.

“Over the month of May, we saw a number of lenders make some significant adjustments to their lending policy in a bid to curb their level of

“Economic uncertainty abroad may dampen the spirits of Australian property buyers, not to mention potential international investors,” he said.

Much to consider in rental returns THE CoreLogic RP Data Monthly Rental Report has revealed rental rates across the combined capital cities have fallen by 0.2 per cent in June 2015.

The report also found the annual rate of growth continued to slow reaching new record lows, with similar results across the combined capital cities.

According to CoreLogic RP Data, rental rates are recorded at $487 per week and while they have fallen by 0.2 per cent over

the month, they are unchanged over the past three months and have increased by 1.1 per cent over the past 12 months.

across Australia’s capital cities accompanied by record high participation in the housing market from investors.

However, the 1.1 per cent annual rise in capital city rents is the slowest rate of growth on record since December 1995.

“A high proportion of the inner city unit development in particular is being targeted by domestic investors and foreign purchasers,” he said.

CoreLogic RP Data research analyst Cameron Kusher said the sluggish pace of rental appreciation continues to be attributed to the ongoing boom in dwelling construction

When looking across the individual capital cities over the past year, Sydney and Hobart have recorded the greatest increases in weekly rents.

The report also found, over the past three months rents are lower in all cities except for Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra - and Sydney and Melbourne were recording relatively stronger rental growth despite a large surge in new supply and high levels of investment purchasing.

With home values growing faster than rents, gross rental yields are at a record low level according to the June report.
