Housing finance gives a clue to future house prices

We know that Australian house prices rose 6% during the 12 months to June 2022.

And the just released (June) official lending statistics suggest that house prices could now rise by 4% for the year ending September 2022.

For the rest of the year, we are forecasting a 1% fall in median house prices across Australia.

What this means is...

If you bought a house in June last year, it could be worth 6% more as of June this year.

And a home bought around September 2021 could have grown by 4% more in value come September this year.

But if you bought a house last December, then it could be potentially worth 1% less at the end of this year.
