According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the value of investment housing commitments fell by 3.9 per cent in August 2010, seasonally adjusted.
Real Estate Institute of Australia president David Airey said while investment housing had been "the bright spark" of housing finance earlier this year, this is no longer the case.
"We are seeing the cumulative effect of six increases in official rates between October last year and May this year and concerns about further increases in the months ahead, particularly from first home buyers and investors" Mr Airey said.
