Australia’s mortgage brokers continue to dominate the home lending market, according to the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) this week.
Using data commissioned from Cotality, the MFAA announced that mortgage brokers facilitated a record 81.6 per cent of all new residential home loans during the June 2026 quarter.
The result represents the highest mortgage broker market share recorded in Australia and reinforces the structural shift in how Australians access home lending.
Over the past eight years, broker share has grown by 27.7 percentage points—from 53.9 per cent in June 2018 to 81.6 per cent in June 2026.
Australia is now one of only three countries globally, alongside the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, where mortgage brokers facilitate more than 80 per cent of mortgage lending.
In dollar terms, mortgage brokers facilitated $139.08 billion in new home lending during the June 2026 quarter.
This was an increase of $17.49 billion compared with the same period in 2025 and the highest lending volume recorded for any June quarter.
The results demonstrate the value Australians place on having a mortgage broker in their corner to help them understand their options and access competition and choice across the home lending market.
The June 2026 report is the 55th consecutive publication of quarterly mortgage broker market share data dating back to 2013.
Cotality collates the data from leading mortgage aggregators and broker groups, with the research commissioned by the MFAA.
