Australia’s mortgage broking industry is on the rise, Reflecting the growing confidence that borrowers place in professional home loan advice, the latest figures from Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) and the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) show that mortgage brokers accounted for 77.6% of all new residential home loans in the June 2025 quarter, up from 76.8% in the March 2025 quarter. That might seem like a small jump, but it represents a steady climb of 10.4% since June 2023. In dollar terms, brokers helped Australians secure nearly $122 billion in new home loans, a significant increase from just over $100 billion a year earlier.
MFAA Chief Executive Officer Anja Pannek summed it up perfectly: “Australians clearly prefer to work with their mortgage broker as they navigate their home financing journey.”
Why More Australians Are Turning to Mortgage Brokers
- Interest rates were cut three times in 2025, improving borrowing capacity but also increasing competition for properties.
- Property prices are rising again, and homes are selling faster than they did a year ago.
- The lending environment has become more complex, with each lender having its own set of rules, rate structures, and eligibility criteria.
- Brokers act as the link between borrower and banks, helping compare loans, negotiate better deals, and explain the fine print in simple terms.
- Many borrowers find that a broker can access a wider range of lenders, including smaller institutions and non‑bank options that aren’t always easy to find on your own.
Expert Advice That Saves Time and Reduces Stress
Applying for a loan is often one of the most stressful parts of buying a property. Between gathering documents, understanding pre‑approvals, and meeting settlement deadlines, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Mortgage brokers simplify this process by managing paperwork, liaising with lenders, and keeping clients informed at every step. With more borrowers now facing tighter budgets and higher property prices, brokers are helping clients identify creative finance solutions—whether that’s refinancing, using equity to upgrade, or exploring guarantor loan options.
The Role of Mortgage Brokers in an Evolving Australian Market
Australia’s property market continues to evolve, and so do borrowers’ needs. From navigating rate cuts to understanding lender policy shifts, expert guidance can make a meaningful difference in long‑term financial outcomes. As the data shows, more Australians are realising that choosing the right broker isn’t just about getting a loan—it’s about finding a partner who understands the bigger picture of property ownership.
