Australian housing investors are back!

After a regulator-imposed slowdown earlier this year, it’s clear that housing investors are returning to Australia’s property market.

According to housing finance figures released by the ABS on Thursday, the value of loans extended to housing investors surged by 4.6% to $12.416 billion in September in seasonally adjusted terms.

It was the sixth month in eight that the value of investor lending increased. Not only that, it was the largest monthly total in dollar terms since August last year.
