Non‐Price Barriers to Home Ownership

The Economic Record, 1988, vol. 64, issue 1, 26-38

Abstract: The impact of regulation of the nominal rate of interest for mortgages in the Australian market for housing finance is examined under inflationary conditions. It is argued that the neglected distributional consequences of the induced tightening of non‐price rationing of funds militate against the availability of housing finance to low income groups and first home buyers. Policy to increase availability should take account of the institutional features of the mortgage contract.
