The MFAA has announced that mortgage brokers wrote 81% of all residential home loans in the March 2026 quarter, which is up 4% from this time last year.

Between January and March, brokers settled a record $124.88 billion in home loans. That’s $25.51 billion more than this time last year and shows the growth in Australians choosing a broker when purchasing property.

With rising interest rates, increasing living costs, and a property market that can be difficult to navigate, it’s no surprise that more Australians are seeking extra support and guidance when it comes to their home loan.

The turn to brokers is helping Australians understand their options and make educated decisions. Whether you’re a first-home buyer or looking to purchase your next property, having a good understanding of the home loan process and what different lenders offer can make all the difference.
