The Reserve Bank’s recent interest rate hikes have significantly impacted Australian households, with many experiencing 100% mortgage stress.
This morning, Mark Bouris, a respected financial expert, has shared some eye-opening insights into how these changes are affecting various communities across the country.
💡 Uneven Distribution of Mortgage Stress 💡
The impact of mortgage stress isn’t evenly spread. In some regions, a staggering 100% of borrowers are feeling the pressure. For instance:
- In Campbelltown, a south-west Sydney suburb, all 12,198 households are experiencing mortgage stress.
- In postcode 2770, covering Mount Druitt, Bidwill, Minchinbury, Lethbridge Park, and Whalan in Sydney’s west, 100% of borrowers are under mortgage stress.
- In Melbourne’s outer south-east, all 9,308 households in Berwick and Harkaway are facing mortgage stress.
- Launceston in northern Tasmania and Queanbeyan in southern NSW, bordering Canberra, also have a 100% mortgage stress rate.
👨👩👦 Young Families Bearing the Brunt 👨👩👦
Mark Bouris points out that young Australian families are disproportionately affected by mortgage stress. Across the nation, 86.23% of young, growing families are struggling to meet their mortgage obligations.
