Mortgage Choice hits the court with the NBL

Meanwhile, first-time homebuyers are making moves of their own. In the June 2025 quarter, there were 80,929 new owner-occupied home loans, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Of those, approximately 28,861 were first-time buyers. That equals more than 35% of all home loans come from first-time buyers. For brokers and lenders, it’s a strong signal that this segment is alive, active and full of opportunities. And with borrowing power on the rise and interest rates easing, buyer confidence is building, and so is momentum across the housing market.
