The Darwin numbers that shape qualified mortgage leads
The Northern Territory wrote 610 new owner occupier loans in the June quarter of 2026 at an average of $545,000, on the ABS lending indicators. Since February 2026 APRA has limited loans at six or more times income to 20% of a lender's new lending. On the smallest loans in the country that ratio decides more Darwin enquiries than intent does.
Darwin's median dwelling value was $647,259 in August 2026, up 14.6% over the year and still rising, 0.6% in the month, on Cotality's index. The RBA's investor data found around one in five investors above six times income in 2021. Typed answers do not reveal that. Checks do, which is what qualification means here.
What a Darwin record carries
Beyond the fields every record carries, a Darwin campaign for this lead type captures the details that decide the first call.
- Which fields were checked, and which were self reported
- Phone verified by SMS at the point of enquiry
- Existing debts and income type, for the ratio
- Suburb or region of Darwin
- Timing, time stamp and consent record
What is checked in Darwin
Before a Darwin record reaches your CRM it has passed three checks. The mobile was verified by SMS, the record was matched against everything already sent to you, and the enquiry was screened on finance with up to 98 data points. Of high income property enquirers we measured, 51.8% fail on finance. Fewer than 5% of leads that clear the screen do. The screen is not an approval.
Who this is not for
Brokers who measure success by record count. A qualified Darwin lead is fewer records and more conversations that go somewhere, and a broker who wants volume over quality will prefer a supplier that checks less.
Pricing
The price is a fixed cost per verified lead, agreed before anything runs. There is no retainer and no lock in. Records are exclusive to you and arrive live in your CRM. A lead that turns out to be wrong is reviewed within five business days and replaced or credited when confirmed.
