Every time the news comes on lately, the story for homebuyers and investors seems to worsen; stories of banks ripping customers off and of tighter lending controls installed as a result of investigations into banking practices.
Tightened lending controls mean most people can’t borrow as much today as they could a just few months ago. For some, this makes buying their first home even more difficult, while other households are feeling stuck when it comes to refinancing their existing debt.
This all sounds pretty dismal for home buyers, investors and the industry in general, right?
