If You Think NZ Housing’s Bad – You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!

I caught up with Leonard Hong, Analyst at The New Zealand Initiative – A Think Tank – who released a report on housing in New Zealand.

“The political ‘buck passing’ of the responsibility for unaffordable housing by successive governments in New Zealand has created extremely expensive housing markets in cities such as Auckland and Wellington – and a national housing crisis. Auckland is the sixth least affordable city among 92 major global housing markets, according to the 2020 Demographia housing survey. The real price of housing in New Zealand increased by 171% from 2000 to 2019, compared with just 11% in Germany in the same period. Despite former Housing Minister Phil Twyford’s reforms, the government has prioritised supressing demand and targeting financial speculation from overseas. Demand-side solutions are just tinkering at the edges of the problem. Long-term demographic transformations and changing household sizes are affecting overall housing demand. Inflexible housing development is the core problem, and only freeing up enough supply can solve our housing unaffordability and overcrowding.”

The Super First Time Buyer Booster!

We look at the latest proposals to allow first time buyers to access superannuation to buy their first home. The proposal is supported by powerful Political voices, but also opposed by Ministers. And evidence from our surveys suggests this would be a trigger to rise prices further.

The Complex Task Of Managing Properties

I caught up with George Rousos from ITC to discuss the complex health and safety issues which Real Estate Agents In NSW face.

He developed Agentsafe, which is supported by Jobs for NSW, a NSW Government agency. https://www.agentsafeforrealestate.com.au/

“In the property services industry, the increase level of safety and security risks across properties for sale, rental properties and strata buildings is making the task of managing these risks increasingly difficult, if not impossible to achieve with traditional paper – based or spreadsheet risk solutions. The property industry can no longer rely on an ad hoc approach to property management compliance – nor rely on the insurance policy to get out of an undesired situation. Generally speaking, professional indemnity or public liability insurance does not provide cover for bodily injury and/or property damage arising from the rendering of professional services.”
