Figures released by Aussie Home Loans reveal that the franchise group has enjoyed strong growth in both broker numbers and loan settlements.
Chief executive officer Stephen Porges said 2009 had seen the number of brokers doubling to more than 850 and the number of Aussie stores climbing from 20 to more than 150.
In the six months to December 2009, Aussie recorded a 90% jump in home loan settlements versus June to December 2008.
Over the six months from July to December, Aussie's monthly home loan volume has increased by 44% over the last year, with more than $1bn in average monthly settlements. The average loan size has also increased 12% year on year.
Porges said the Wizard acquisition was now bedded down.
"Our mortgage brokers are now undertaking close to 10,000 appointments every month with customers and our team is performing strongly, despite the generally subdued conditions in the housing market and the economy," he said.
Aussie's non-mortgage products are now contributing more than 10% to company profit.
