Throughout the first quarter of 2015, 7.9% of owner occupiers and 11.9% of investors resold their properties at a loss.

Across each capital city and rest of state market the proportion of loss making resales was greater for investors than it was for owner occupiers. 

Some 5.1% of capital city homes resold which were owner occupied sold at a loss over the first quarter of the year compared to 8.3% of investor owned homes.

The biggest discrepancy between sales at a loss for owner occupiers and investors was found in the ACT (7.8% vs 19.1%), Hobart (9.9% vs 18.9%) and Melbourne (4.2% vs 9.9%).

The difference between the level of loss between owner occupier and investor resales was much lower in Sydney (2.3% vs 2.5%), Perth (6.2% vs 8.4%) and Darwin (10.3% vs 12.7%).

Investors were significantly less likely to resell at a loss in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne relative to the remaining capital cities.
