The past few weeks have seen the housing and lending market continue to build on the stability established earlier in the year.

From a lending perspective, banks remain active and competitive.
We’re continuing to see solid appetite for new lending, and banks are starting to get more active and creative with their lending promotions - All good news for potential borrowers.

Interest rates have remained relatively steady, with a few small tweaks across select fixed terms as banks compete for new business.
Most popular fixed rates are still sitting around the mid-high 4% range, giving borrowers confidence and consistency when making longer-term decisions.

For buyers, this stability makes planning easier.
Finance is more predictable, banks are competing more actively, and lending has become more flexible than it was a year ago — particularly for first home buyers with varying levels of deposit.

For sellers, these conditions are also really positive.
Buyers are better prepared so they're engaging earlier, attending open homes with confidence, and are more likely to progress through to unconditional sales without finance-related delays.

Overall, the market remains balanced and both buyers and sellers can make well-informed decisions.

Whether you’re entering the market, moving up the ladder, or reviewing your current lending, there continues to be good opportunities this quarter — particularly with the right advice and structure in place.
