Welcome to The Adviser's What's Making Headlines podcast, your go-to source for the week's biggest stories in finance and real estate, distilled into bite-sized insights.

Broker market share has finally crossed the historic 80 per cent threshold, but how much higher can the third-party channel actually go before artificial intelligence kicks in?

Join host Annie Kane, senior journalist Charlie Tchetchenian, and commercial content writer Ben Squires as they dissect a monumental week of news for the mortgage industry. The team discusses National Australia Bank, major warnings from ANZ and Westpac predicting a substantial slowdown in mortgage lending, and a steep drop in investor activity off the back of proposed federal budget tax changes.

This week, they discuss:

• The MFAA data revealing broker market share surged to a record 81 per cent in the March quarter.
• Why National Australia Bank completely reversed its rate forecast to predict the next cash rate move will be down.
• How major banks are forecasting a sharp slowdown in mortgage credit and property price growth for fiscal year 2027.

And much more!
