Those following my channel will know of the modelling which shows the strong link between credit availability and home prices. We know that when credit is tight, and the rate of change in credit is negative, home prices fall. And we are seeing this in spades now in New Zealand.
So today I want to explore some markers in New Zealand, and why property will fall further and faster.

New Zealand Credit Falls Off A Cliff – Home Prices Will Follow! [Podcast]
Today I want to look at a range of recent data to highlight just how broken our housing market is. I regularly talk about how high prices are relative to income and how households are under financial pressure, but there are other forces to consider too.
For example, we got updated data from the RBA yesterday on indicative mortgage lending rates, and despite the ongoing debate about if and when the RBA may lift the cash rates, the market is already reacting with higher mortgage rates. Note these are indicative rates, but the trend is clear.

1.8 Trillion Reasons Why Home Prices Have Not Fallen - Yet! [Podcast]
This week I recorded an interview with The Elephant In The Room’s Veronica Morgan for Real Estate Talk, slated as “your trusted voice in property investment. Australia’s most respected real estate investing experts give tips on wealth creation”.
Importantly, we got to the heart of the property issue, and found much common ground. I may have diluted the perception of being an outright property “bear” but perhaps we underscored the realities in the markets at the movement. And yes, property is still overvalued against long term fundamentals by ~40%.
This week Veronica Morgan catches up with a self-confessed property bear whose message has been largely misunderstood. Martin North explains his thoughts about property investing in a fascinating 2 part interview. Simon Pressley and Cate Bakos talk about why many regional locations are exhibiting firm demand and as a follow on to that story, Kevin Turner asks Miriam Sandkuhler why buying in regional areas. But first Veronica is hot on the trail of a story of particular interest to people with pets in strata with strata layer Amanda Farmer.
Journalist Tarric Brooker and I discuss the vexed question of home prices in the context of the current political and economic backcloth to the lock down. Tarric uses the handle @AvidCommentator on Twitter.
