In short:

A rate rise is estimated to cause an immediate 5 per cent reduction in home purchases.

Economic modelling suggests the home ownership rate would fall by 0.3 of a percentage point and take more than a decade to recover.

What's next?

Markets and economists are almost certain the RBA will announce a rate rise on Tuesday.
