Regional sales manager at Ooba Home Loans, Natasha Champion, says the property market has seen a decline in first-time buyers as high interest rates spook consumers.

The reserve bank recently hiked the repo rate to 8.25%, pushing the prime lending rate up to 11.75%.

The changes in the interest rates have increased the price of loans, especially for home and car owners."There's no doubt about it. We've had so many blows in terms of interest rate hikes, that we're all seeing stars. So, anyone that's currently linked to any interest-sparing debt, that's definitely a challenge. People are feeling it in their pockets.""We have seen a year-on-year 20% reduction in our volumes.
