Surge in deposit bond inquiries

Late last year, Deposit Bond observed a 300 per cent increase in inquiries for deposit bonds on home purchases over the calendar year of 2023.

The data showed an increasing number of inquiries coming from first home buyers and families looking to safeguard their money as the construction industry faces ongoing challenges. According to Deposit Power, there were as many as 2,000 companies going into liquidation in the last two years alone.

Furthermore, according to Deposit Power’s internal data, there was a 40 per cent increase in retirees using their bonds to downsize and a further 10 per cent increase in people downsizing for “lifestyle reasons including reducing their mortgage”.
