Mish Tan, ABS head of finance statistics, said: “Investor lending growth continued to outpace the growth of owner-occupiers in June. The total value of new investor loans was 30.2 per cent higher compared to a year ago, while for owner-occupiers it was 13.2 per cent.”

While growth in the value of new investor loans was seen across all states and territories over the past 12 months, it was driven by New South Wales (up 27.3 per cent or $901m), Queensland (up 34.5 per cent or $587m) and Western Australia (up 56.7 per cent or $428m). By comparison, growth was relatively slower in Victoria (up 9.4 per cent or $199m) and South Australia (up 38.3 per cent or $175m).

“Over the past 12 months, New South Wales continued to have the highest average loan sizes for both owner-occupiers and investors. In June, it rose to $780,000 for owner-occupiers and $818,000 for investors,” Dr Tan said.

The number of new owner-occupier first home buyer loans rose 0.7 per cent in June and was 3.4 per cent higher compared to a year ago. The June growth was driven by a rise of 6.5 per cent in Victoria, which since June 2017 has continued to have the highest number of first home buyer loans of all states and territories.
