The series, first published with little fanfare from a few weeks ago, shows there were 5,993 loans approved worth $663.5 million in the week ended July 11.
The number of approvals was down 27.8% on a year earlier on a 13-week moving average basis while the value of approvals was down an even greater 36.9%.
In the 52 weeks ended July 11, the number of approvals was down 22.4% and their value was down 30.4% on the previous year.
The central bank says seven banks are responding to its new survey and the figures represent more than 99% of lending by registered banks on housing.
The figures for last week showed a slight improvement from mid-June when the number of applications was down 29.6% on a 13-week moving average basis and their value was down 39.8%.
