I think once we start to see more of the lending indicators flowing through, unfortunately, these data sets are pretty lagged.
So you're seeing it on your own books.
I'm hearing other banks talking about 20%, 25% drop in investment inquiries as well.
So I think it's already happening.
And once we start to see the data points, that'll be well down the track and the trend will have gathered momentum.

I mean, if you're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars, to buy an asset, being property, I think you would be doing your due diligence.
Property is not a sophisticated thing.
I would say it's not like buying into a commercial asset or an industrial asset where you have much more complex lease terms and so forth and make goods.
Property is, I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist investor to be investing in property, but property.
If you are looking to invest in property, there are a lot of safeguards around that.

This helps to keep a floor under housing prices.
If we didn't have that disconnect between supply and demand, supply being overwhelmed by demand.
we probably would have a much worse case scenario when it comes to the housing correction that we're starting to move through now.
So I think most economists think we'll probably see a downturn, at least a macro level, around 5% to 10% across Australian housing.
House prices.
