Wins & losses

New loans

  • Non-major banks’ net-positive position increased sharply compared to Aug-22.
  • Major banks’ net-positive position remained roughly flat compared to Aug-22.

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.
