\"\"As property prices hit record highs across a number of cities, it\u2019s no surprise that new home loan balances are also nudging towards fresh peaks. Today we\u2019ll reveal what the \u2018average\u2019 new home loan is in your state, and provide you with some handy tips to help bring down your balance sooner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

High interest rates and a cost of living crunch haven\u2019t stopped\u00a0home values rising 8% nationally<\/a>\u00a0over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

According to CoreLogic that\u2019s added an\u00a0extra $59,000 to the average Australian home\u2019s value<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great news for home owners, but not so good for buyers, who may have to take out a bigger loan to fund a property purchase.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, not everyone is having to upsize their home loan.<\/p>\n

In some cities, new mortgage sizes are staying pretty still or becoming slightly smaller.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the average in your state?<\/h3>\n

Across Australia the \u2018average\u2019 new mortgage is at a\u00a0record high of $626,055 as of May 2024<\/a>, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. That\u2019s up from $584,607 just 12 months earlier in May 2023.<\/p>\n

That means you\u2019d need to be able to make\u00a0mortgage repayments of about $3,875 per month<\/a>\u00a0(assuming that you take out a 30-year principal and interest home loan at 6.3%).<\/p>\n

However, ABS data shows plenty of variation in new loan sizes in different states and territories.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s happening across the country:<\/p>\n

NSW<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the average new home loan size is currently $767,584, up from $720,029 in May 2023.<\/p>\n

VIC<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 average new home loan is $601,891, slightly up from $598,949 in May 2023 but well below the peak of $651,364 in January 2022.<\/p>\n

QLD<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the sunshine state\u2019s average new home loan size is $586,627, a solid increase on the May 2023 average of $521,609.<\/p>\n

SA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 average new home loan of $541,775, a big jump on the May 2023 average of $467,438.<\/p>\n

WA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 average new home loan of $538,860, up from $472,080 in May 2023.<\/p>\n

TAS<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the Tassie market has seen very little movement in new loan sizes. The current average is $462,324, just a few thousand dollars shy of the $465,313 average in May 2023.<\/p>\n

ACT<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the average new home loan across Canberra is $614,242, up from $589,130 in May 2023.<\/p>\n

NT<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 in the Top End, the average new home loan has increased slightly, currently sitting at $437,427 compared to $424,873 in May 2023.<\/p>\n

How to potentially whittle away your home loan sooner<\/h3>\n

No matter where in Australia you are buying a home, managing a home loan can be stressful at a time when interest rates are high.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s important to look for ways to help ease the pressure.<\/p>\n

Choosing an offset home loan, for example, can let you put spare cash to work by helping to lower your monthly interest charges.<\/p>\n

It can also allow you to build up a savings buffer while also reducing the overall interest you pay on the loan, and thus, bring the balance down quicker.<\/p>\n

If you are unlikely to have substantial savings, looking for a loan that lets you make small, extra repayments at no additional cost can be a way to pay down the loan sooner, and save on interest costs.<\/p>\n

Even something as simple as switching from monthly to fortnightly loan repayments could deliver savings on your interest repayments over the course of the loan.<\/p>\n

Paying half the monthly amount every fortnight<\/a>\u00a0can mean paying the equivalent of an extra month\u2019s repayments each year, helping you forge ahead with the loan without too big an impact on your household budget.<\/p>\n

What matters is that you speak to us about a mortgage that suits your unique needs. One that gives you the benefits of the loan features you need, plus a competitive interest rate.<\/p>\n
