NOTES FORTHCOMING ISSUES
REVISIONS In this issue, revisions have been made to the original series as a result of improved reporting of survey and administrative data, and updated first home buyer modelled estimates. These revisions have impacted on:
FIRST HOME BUYERS Monthly First Home Buyer statistics will be subject to future revision, as the modelled component is adjusted to reflect improved reporting by lenders. Information relating to changes to the method of estimating loans to first home buyers, introduced from the December 2014 issue, can be found under the First Home Buyers web page and on page 5 of the PDF. First home buyers are defined as persons entering the home ownership market as owner-occupiers for the first time. First time investors are excluded. CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE Market reactions to regulatory measures implemented by APRA in 2015 has resulted in increased volatility in some of the seasonally adjusted estimates included in this publication, particularly the value of finance commitments for owner occupied housing and investor housing. Care should be taken in interpreting the movements for this reference period, as the seasonally adjusted estimates may be revised in future periods. In addition, some banks have been reclassifying housing loans that originated as investment loans to owner occupied. This reclassification affects Table 12 Housing Loan Outstandings to Households only. PRIVACY The ABS Privacy Policy outlines how the ABS will handle any personal information that you provide to the ABS.
