  1. A forecasted 21% crash in NZ still means it will end up around 20% higher than 3 years ago for context.

  2. I came back from Aus 3 years ago, Australia has lost its way in the last last decade and is now the shithole where NZ has picked up a lot, no Idea what you are on about.

  3. It depends , if you are a recent buyer near the top this is going to hurt. Personally I am mortgage free, the value of my house doesn't really matter as I only own one and I don't borrow against it, and I need it to live in :P

  4. NZ is "literally" rated #1 in the world for personal freedoms, and in the top #3 for best place to do business. Lets try and avoid American style over the top BS ignorant comments.

  5. Just to be clear MOST property investors are local moms and dads buying their 2nd and 10th investment property thanks to weak NZ banking regulation (similar to most developed countries). The local media like "Stuff" and many others don't like to blame the Banks as they are such large advertisers $$. Another myth is a housing shortage, yes there is a shortage in parts of Auckland, however the rest of the country its complete BS, its all speculative price inflation.

  6. I am usually National, however gave Labour a chance last election. I will be voting them out not for economic reasons but due to the formation of the "Maori Health Board" among a few other accidentally racists (I hope) policies, that is fast creating new racial tensions in NZ.

  7.  @themountain3461  That is a reasonable point, however virtually all assets are down due to inflation, in fact virtually everything is down in 2022, stocks, crypto, including cash in the bank, so its also kinda a moot point.

  9. Local property investors moms and dads buying their 2nd and 10th investment property are the #1 cause of these high prices which is proven by falling home ownership rates. Weak NZ banking regulation allowing these investors to do this need to be looked at again. The last National government did actually impose higher LVR requirements, but local media trash rags like "Stuff" whom get a lot of advertising money from $$ Banks crucified them for it, and they had to reverse course. Higher LVR may impact 1st time buyers BUT it impacts property investors far more, if it had been allowed to run prices would be far lower today.
