The most favourable approval rate was 60.6% and the least favourable was 48.1%.  Approval rates are trending lower year-on-year primarily due to homebuyers facing affordability constraints in a rising interest rate environment, compounded by inflationary pressures. Applications with deposits continue to have a higher rate of approval than 100% bond applications, which banks are currently extremely cautious on.

This  signifies  the  opportunity  to  secure  an  approval  from  another  bank  on  applications  initially declined by one bank.   These statistics illustrate the benefit of ooba’s value proposition to real estate by having access to 9 banks to acquire an approval.

 

3.    Total bond approval rate across all banks:

With one of the highest approval rates in the market, ooba continues to secure approval for more than seven out of ten applications that we process, which is a compelling reason for real estate to use ooba’s origination services, particularly under the current tougher economic conditions.
