The hotspots of Auckland and Christchurch continue to produce great results. These two markets, however, must be classified as unique and in parallel to the remainder of the country as other regions slowly, steadily but surely recover off the back of historically, record lows. Auctions continue to be the selling method of choice as buyers bid competitively to secure their property before any rate hikes stunt buying. As reported by John Key in this week’s news conference ‘the Government are looking to find solutions to Auckland’s house price rises and land supply issues.’ Will we see any action soon?

Harcourts MarketWatch (February 2013, NZ)

MarketWatch February 2013

New Zealand’s largest real estate group’s recent figures reinforce the growing housing shortage now gripping more of the country compared to a year ago. Every region in the country, with the exception of the central North Island, has seen the inventory of property available for buyers; reduce in February when measured against the same time in 2012. Those contemplating what the future is going to bring in the residential sector regarding pricing only need to review the data now coming from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and provincial South Island to realise that the strong competition in the highly publicised Auckland market is likely to spread further afield. The Government still remain in a state of paralysis, seemingly to be doing more politicking than showing any signs of real action to relieve this accommodation shortage. Let’s hope they soon free up the reigns that are holding many developers from creating homes and much needed construction jobs.
