The fall of the real estate market of the eastern coast of Australia has been observed for five consecutive months, which is the longest period since September 2008, Bloomberg reports. In April, house financing fell 1.4%. In May, prices in Sydney fell 4.2% compared to a 17% increase the year before. Negative impact on the real estate market in Australia has had a toughening of the rules for the issuance of mortgage loans. The decrease in the number of loans led to the fact that prices in Sydney became inaccessible to many investors. The number of Chinese investors, which previously formed the basis of market growth, declined. The growth of wages has not been observed in the country for 5 years. The ratio of debt to income in the economy reached a record high of 189%.
