The broker said:

… the outlook remains uncertain in both ANZ and the US as the company deals with a soft housing market, cost inflation, and increased competitive threats.

Management anticipates a slow recovery in ANZ with a period of soft activity still to play out.

In the US, the housing market is expected to be constrained for the next 12-18 months driven by persistently high mortgage rates and affordability challenges.

The Federal Government recently announced it will start the new version of its Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS) earlier than planned.

The HGS allows eligible buyers to purchase a home with a 5% deposit without paying lenders' mortgage insurance (LMI).

Major banks and lending institutions typically charge tens of thousands in LMI when a home buyer has less than a 20% deposit.

Under the new rules, the HGS will be uncapped and therefore available to all Australians, regardless of their income.

The purchase price caps are also being raised in line with higher property prices.
