Home loan slump raises alarm over housing market

​A sharp slowdown in home loan applications is fuelling concerns that the property market is cooling faster than expected following Labor's controversial budget tax changes. The Reserve Bank is warning of the impact of the budget and the risk that an extended decline could slow the economy.
