Refinancing jumps 12.6% year-on-year
“Refinancing activity has remained at record highs in recent months, as borrowers continued to switch lenders amid interest rate rises,” according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
Owner-occupiers and investors refinanced a combined $20.2 billion of loans with external lenders in June, the ABS reported.
While that was 3.1% lower than the month before, it was 12.6% higher than the year before.
More significantly, the last 14 months have been the 14 biggest months in refinancing history.
