The RBA is recklessly ignoring the mortgage stress of households that were lured into mortgages to prop up the bubble; Australia needs a foreclosure moratorium now!
Mortgage stress now grips 42 per cent of Australian households, according to a UNSW City Futures Research Centre survey. This is a sharp increase from 30 per cent in February 2020.
The REIA's figures, from a December 2007 survey, follow a JP Morgan/Fujitsu Consulting Mortgage Industry report which forecast 300,000 mortgage foreclosures across Australia this year.
