At the same time, house prices rose in each of those cities except for Perth, where they remained steady.<br \/>\nEquifax said consumer credit applications were up 10.3 per cent in the June quarter, spurred on by an 18.4 per cent increase in applications for personal loans.\u00a0\u00a0 This could indicate people are turning to credit to support their household and discretionary spending.\u00a0 Not such a good sign.<br \/>\nMeanwhile &#8211; Home owners who have been wrestling with their mortgage repayments are about to find things can get a whole lot worse as the Reserve Bank and the financial regulator\u00a0hand\u00a0the big banks two more reasons to hike rates. \u00a0The worst hit will likely be those who waded into frothy capital-city housing markets at the tail end of the boom.<br \/>\nIn its latest meeting the RBA warned that as many as eight official rate hikes are on the way as the cash rate heads for a new normal of 3.5 per cent, while the\u00a0Australian Prudential Regulation Authority\u00a0has raised bank equity targets by 150 basis points to 10.5 per cent.\u00a0 This is happening in an environment where the gap between variable mortgage rates and the official RBA cash rate has doubled in 10 years and is the widest it has been since 1994.<br \/>\nExperts say this gap is likely to widen. \u00a0In April the RBA\u00a0warned in its Financial Stability Review that\u00a0about one third of Australians had\u00a0built up little or no buffer to higher interest rates or are less than one month ahead on their repayments. Recent UBS research shows 85-90 per cent of mortgages are variable, so this could see millions feel serious debt stress.<br \/>\nAdd to that several big-name economists calling the peak of capital-city house price growth and the latest NAB research showing a spike in activity from first-time buyers. Simply put, if wages growth doesn\u2019t get its act together then bleak times lie ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript: Mortgage applications were down almost one per cent in the June quarter, another sign the housing market is beginning to cool.\u00a0\u00a0 Credit reporting agency Equifax\u2019s quarterly consumer credit demand index shows the number of mortgage applications in the three months to June across Australia&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176692471,"featured_media":14190,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,11,29],"tags":[70,131],"class_list":["post-14188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kevin-turner-sponsored-channels","category-kevin-update","category-video","tag-featured","tag-videos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
