Let’s be sure to understand that the market has reset, and the time to buy at discounted prices is all but over. What I mean by this is that over July and August we saw a lot of property pulled off the market. We also saw a lot of property sold through the last two months. This has balanced the books, so to speak, and we are entering a phase of careful buyers meeting considered sellers. Many sellers are appreciating the market has stabilised and pricing needs to be conservative. Many buyers do not have the wide ranging choice that was on offer in the first six months of 2019. In addition many speculators have rented out their homes and curbed the supply of new homes in order to protect capital gain. Banks continue to be over opinionated and fussy about homes and land titles but without a great deal of reasoning to justify that. It also begs the question how are Banks going to cope with shared ownership under the new kiwibuild debacle. Answer – best of luck with that, another impending fail for kiwibuild awaits. The sooner Government and Council understands that they need to reduce the cost of red-tape, compliance costs and GST on developers and builders to achieve affordability housing the better.
