Australia New Home Sales Tumble 16% MoM: HIA
Australia's new home sales plunged 16.0 percent month-on-month in August of 2022, following a 13.1 percent drop in the prior month, data from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) showed. The latest figure marked the second straight month of fall in new home sales, with the rise in borrowing costs compounding the impact of higher cost of construction. “The full impact of recent and future rate increases will continue to flow through as an adverse impact on the sale of new homes in coming months," said HIA economist Tom Devitt. “The concern remains that the adverse impact of rising rates on the wider economy will be obscured by this volume of ongoing work and that the RBA goes too far, too soon.” Victoria drove the declines in sales, down by 15.2%, followed by Queensland (-1.8%). By contrast, the other states posting increases were South Australia (18.2%), New South Wales (14.2%), and Western Australia (7.5%).

Australia July New Home Sales Slump 13.1% MoM
Australia's new home sales plunged 13.1 percent month-on-month in July of 2022, swinging from a 1.9 percent gain in June, data from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) showed. The decline reflected the impact of the recent increases in the cash rate, with builders reporting fewer enquires and visits to display sites. “If this decline in sales is sustained, which is expected, then the 1.75 percent increase in the cash rate so far, will have brought this pandemic building boom to an end," said HIA Chief Economist Tim Reardon. He added that the full impact of the rate increases will continue to flow through as an adverse impact on the sale of new homes for at least the next few months. All of the major states saw a decline in new home sales, led by Queensland (-15.5 percent) and New South Wales (-15.3 percent), followed by Western Australia (-13.5 percent), Victoria (-11.1 percent), and South Australia (-9.7 percent).

Australia New Home Sales Drop 5.5% MoM in May
Australia's new home sales fell by 5.5% month-on-month in May 2022, following a 1.2% drop in the previous month, data from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) showed. It was the second straight month of decline in new home sales, amid a federal election and worries rising interest rates begin to bite. " The impact of rising rates will be compounded by the going increases in the cost of construction and land, forcing up the cost of new house and land package. The lag from when a rate rise results in a decline in starts can be as short as six months, but in this cycle, it could be more than 12 months before the volume of starts fall due to the rise in rates,” Tom Davis, HIA Economist, said. The RBA raised the cash rate by 50 bps to 0.85% during its June meeting. New home sales dropped the most in Victoria (-12.7%), followed by New South Wales (-12.2%), and Western Australia (-0.8%). By contrast, sales increased in both Queensland (8.8%) and South Australia (12%).
