Today’s housing finance data for December posted a big lift in new home finance commitments, with the number of commitments for both construction and new dwellings jumping by 5.2% over the month and by 5.3% over the year (see below charts).
Looking at at the state-by-state breakdown, which is presented below on a rolling annual basis since it is not seasonally adjusted, shows that the rebound in new home finance commitments has been driven by New South Wales and to a lesser extent Victoria (see next chart).
