Loans to investors have continued to see stronger growth than owner-occupiers over this period.”
Since May 2023, the value of new loans to investors has trended upwards across most states and territories. The largest rises were in New South Wales (up 24.8 per cent), Queensland (up 48.2 per cent) and Western Australia (up 73.9 per cent).
“In May, the value of new loans to investors in Queensland reached an all-time high of $2.4 billion, exceeding Victoria for the third consecutive month.
“This is mainly due to investors taking out larger loans in the sunshine state compared to this time last year. We saw the average loan size for investors in Queensland increase by 14.3 per cent since May 2023, from $508,000 to $580,000. Comparatively, the average loan size in Victoria fell 3.2 per cent over the same period, from $584,000 to $566,000,” Ms Cotsell said.
