Mortgage Market Share Housing Affordability APRA Data Regulatory Analysis

Matthew Sellers is a financial journalist at Key Media, bringing an Economics degree and a sharp analytical instinct to his coverage of the Australian mortgage and lending market for Australian Broker. His work cuts through the data to find the stories that matter — from shifting mortgage market share among the big four banks and the quiet rise of Australia's mutual lenders, to investor lending trends, housing affordability pressures, and the strategic decisions shaping the broker channel.

Matthew is a close reader of APRA data, RBA commentary, and regulatory developments, translating complex financial indicators into clear, accessible analysis for brokers, lenders, and mortgage professionals who need to understand where the market is heading — and why.
