New loans

  • Non-major banks fell into a net-negative position in new loans for the first time in over a year. 

Tip: Wins / losses (new loans) shows the net increase or decrease in mortgages each month for lenders. The calculation takes the total number of new mortgages and subtracts the total number of discharged mortgages for properties that settled in that month. Importantly, it only includes property sale settlements (not refinances) and excludes properties not part of a sale (e.g. if the loan is completely repaid and the mortgage is discharged). ‘Major banks’ include their sub brands and subsidiaries. 

Refinances

  • Major banks grew their net positive position in refinances further in October vs non-major banks. 

Tip: Wins / losses (refinances) shows the net increase or decrease in mortgages each month for lenders. The calculation takes the total number of new refinances and subtracts the total number of discharged mortgages for properties that have refinanced in that month. It only includes property refinance settlements (not sale settlements) and excludes properties not part of a refinance (e.g. if the loan is completely repaid and the mortgage is discharged). ‘Major banks’ include their sub brands and subsidiaries.
