Highlights
Increased interest in reverse mortgages must be placed in the context of wider use of home equity. In recent years home equity has become much more accessible. Rather than seeing equity only as a stock to be built up over time consumers see home equity as a flow to be tapped as and when required or used to improve terms offered by a lender.
Although the St George Seniors Access Home Loan is a flexible product and is now more accessible than it was in early 2004 it remains a conservative product offering a low maximum loan amount and loan to value ratio. Even the minimum age limit is far from the lowest on the market with several players willing to lend to those aged 60 and over.
The average advance on a reverse mortgage will never be as large as that on a standard mortgage loan. However, as consumers regard reverse mortgages in a more positive light, retirees become less debt adverse and they incorporate reverse mortgages into their financial planning decisions they will be happier to borrow more.
