In this episode, we discuss how the NZ election will impact the NZ property market. This includes how many properties are sold and what it does to house prices. Ultimately this will give you a sense of how the property market is likely to change over the next 6 months.

In this episode, we unpack the potential impact of Auckland's Future Development Strategy on house prices. We discuss the council's preference for brownfields development (redevelopment of existing properties) over greenfields development (creating new suburbs from scratch). While this intensification might drive up the value of land suitable for redevelopment, we caution that these documents often don't have a significant impact on property investors. Instead, more impactful changes could come from actions like abolishing the Rural Urban Boundary. We also debunk the myth that rising building costs directly push up house prices.
