ANZ is the latest bank to reveal a significant drop in the number of customers applying for its home loans. Mortgage applications at Australia's fourth-largest have dropped 12 per cent since May, partly due to the Reserve Bank's interest rate hikes and major changes to property taxation laws announced in the federal budget.
