August 2021 Lending Indicators
NSW Lending
August's lending figure in NSW followed the trend set by other states in the previous month and edged downwards - both for owner occupiers and investors. This would reflect the slowdown in sales associated with the lockdown, and feeding through to lending figures some weeks later.
Investor Ratio of Total New Lending
The more pronounced dip in owner occupier lending means that the investor ratio has ticked up.
Lending for Alterations, Additions and Repairs
Renovations lending continues to be very elevated.
