"The four-week average of consumer confidence amongst outright homeowners and those paying off a mortgage reached its highest level since June 2022, which was just one month after the RBA started lifting the cash rate. Those paying off their mortgage are now more confident, on average, than renters.
"The 'time to buy a major household item' rose 4.9 points to its highest level since January 2023. This may be linked to the beginning of a range of pre-Black Friday sales events".
