COMMENT

Owen Vaughan Note from the editor

I

’m not going to lie: at the start of the Covid-19 crisis my gut feeling was house prices would fall. I wasn't the only one to think this, but the market went zig instead of zag and came out of lockdown stronger than expected.

Across the country, agents report crowds at open homes, and a surge in enquiry from first home buyers. And a quick glance at auction results shows buyers are willing to stretch themselves.

Buoyed by low interest rates, they have emerged from the Covid crisis thinking, ”Well the market didn’t crash so I'm going to get a first home or a better home no matter what.”

But does that mean the market is deluding itself, given that mortgage holidays and wage subsidies are ending soon?

Many of the factors supporting value levels remain in place, so a major downturn is unlikely but confidence levels could change.

That's why the right data is important. Our new OneRoof-Valocity Covid Index indicates where the market is strong and where it is under pressure, and will help Kiwis make the best property decisions in the months ahead.

Where does the housing market go from here?

Four reasons why house prices in New Zealand didn't collapsed in the wake of a devastating pandemic.

W

“Given the long-term damage Covid-19 has and will cause, I am not yet willing to deliver the headline ‘Economist says house price falls are over’.”

hen something big and bad comes along, our natural instinct is to run and hide until it passes by. We can’t help it. So, I think we can all be forgiven for adopting some fairly negative views on the housing market when we learned about Covid19 and what it would take to stop its spread in our community.

It was common back in February and March to see forecasts that average New Zealand house prices would fall 10 to 15 per cent, with some punters who have got their price forecasts wrong every cycle and shock, picking declines of 20 per cent.

My personal pick was for an average price decline of 5 to 10 per cent. But even this optimistic view — based on things like listings shortages, falling construction, sustained low interest rates, and most unemployed not owning houses – has so far proved too pessimistic.

If we take as our starting point the three months running into February, then we see that for the month of June, average house prices around New Zealand were up 1.2 per cent from that period. Or, if you’re of the pessimistic bent, you can say that June prices on average were down 1.2 per cent from the month of March (which was up 9.1 per cent from a year earlier).

I can produce data “proving” prices are both rising and falling. But I’m going to mash all these things together and say this. Across New Zealand, while the previous pace of increase in prices of about 2 per cent every three months has gone, prices on average are now flat. In Auckland, price rises the

Tony Alexander past year were averaging 1.6 per cent a quarter, and they are now flat. Outside Auckland, price rises were averaging 2.4 per cent a quarter, and they also are flat.

Could it be that the price falls so widely predicted have simply been delayed? Those who believe this commonly cite these factors. ● Mortgage holidays end in September for some borrowers. ● Wage subsidies end by September and this will likely lead to more unemployment. ● There is a risk (shown by Victoria) of a second wave. ● The effects of near-zero net monthly migration will begin biting. ● Hopes of an early transtasman bubble have been dashed.

● Banks will soon be having hard conversations and forcing business closures and mortgagee sales.

I agree with all these factors.

But there are some big ones offsetting them which in all probability will continue to dominate as they have already done so far. Here are the main ones, though I could easily list several times more.

1. Owner-occupiers are choosing to upgrade their existing house rather than trade it for a new one. This will suppress listings and keep buyers scrambling for whatever may come on the market.

2. Statistics NZ originally told us that in the year to November 2019 the next migration gain was 42,000. So, at the start of this year we analysts figured maybe a 40,000 gain would optimistically occur this year, giving a full two calendar-year gain of about 80,000 people. The net estimated flow for the 12 months to November is now put at 64,000, and the net gain since then has been another 41,000 over the six months to

May. If the net gain for the rest of the year is zero, the two-year gain will be 105,000. Covid-19 has so far boosted our net migration gain and housing demand, not reduced it.

3. This recession is not a normal one which involves intense weakness in manufacturing and/or farming and construction. It is largely happening in the services sector, peopled by employees who are young, on variable incomes, earning lowish wages — and not owning houses.

4. Confidence about interest rates remaining low is likely even more intense now than four months ago. This doesn’t just mean low mortgage financing costs. It also means continuing low (and still falling) term deposit rates which will encourage more investors to seek other assets like property — which is exactly the intention of the Reserve Bank in printing money.

Given the long-term damage which our fight against Covid19 has and will cause, I am not yet willing to deliver the headline “Economist says house price falls are over”. But I find myself saying exactly the same thing now as I was saying from the second half of 2009 following the Global Financial Crisis.

If anyone looking to purchase a property were to ask me whether they should act now or wait for potential price falls, my response will be, as it was back then, I see no good reason for waiting and would be looking for a property now.

After all, if we have flat house prices now with banks making getting a mortgage the hardest any of us have seen since 1984, imagine what will happen when they revert to more normal lending practices.

COVER STORY

HEALTH CHECK The spread of Covid-19 brought unprecedented change to the housing market. But after lockdown, buyers and sellers defied the forecasts of doom, and real estate came to life again. JAMES WILSON tracks an unpredictable market

W

hen the last Oneroof Property Report came out, at the start of March, few would have guessed that the housing market was a few short weeks away from a total shutdown.

Back then there was momentum in the market and economists were predicting house prices would rise. But by the end of March, the momentum was lost and experts feared the worst, forecasting price falls of 10 to 20 percent.

The word “unprecedented” has been used a lot to describe the Covid-19 crisis. Cliche or not, it's a word that aptly sums up the impact of the lockdown

period. Never before in New Zealand's history had the property market and the framework that supports it been shut down.

While it’s too early to tell what the full impact of Covid-19 will be on the housing market, we do know it’s more important than ever to focus on the collation, analysis and correct application of available data to ensure that any decisions made are from an informed position.

Conversely, the risk of relying on misleading or incomplete data, or data that may be biased towards a particular outcome, has never been greater.

Before we dive into the data, let’s take a look at how the market performed once the

Alert Level Four lockdown came into force on March 26, and in the weeks after restrictions were eased and the country returned to normal.

1. Sales volumes drop: Confidence is king when it comes to the housing market, and sales volumes for April were well down on the same period last year. Much of this can be attributed to lockdown restrictions such as no open homes, no valuations, and no physical auctions — although in the initial weeks of lockdown, there was a lot of uncertainty which fed into predictions of house price falls and a severe economic recession.

2. Vendors sit on the sidelines: Listing numbers as

the country moved out of lockdown in May were down on the same period last year, as homeowners took a wait-and see approach to the market. This in turn creates heightened demand for the stock that does come to market.

3. Interest rates cut: One of the immediate responses to Covid-19 was a cut to the Official Cash Rate, which most high street banks passed on to customers. This reduction allowed those who were already looking to buy before lockdown to stretch themselves.

4. Pent-up demand: The drop in new listings and low interest rates, combined with Continued on page 4

COVER STORY pent-up demand, lead to a quick change in the market.

Buyer activity picked up, and properties started selling at prelockdown prices. Value levels across much of the country have bounced back, but some locations — such as Queenstown — and property types, particularly apartments, are exposed.

5. Vendors return (but slowly): Listings numbers for June and July strengthened as vendors returned to the market in an attempt to capitalise on rising prices. However, anecdotal evidence from agents and listing numbers show demand outstripping supply.

6. Back to normal: Lately, market participants in some locations have revealed a return to normality in the sense that some of the “fear” of what may happen to the housing market has gone away, with prices reflecting a demand for wellpresented housing stock.

The OneRoof-Valocity Covid Index When we look at the housing market using traditional methodology, we run the risk of misinterpreting what's going on in the market. According to latest OneRoof Valocity figures, every territorial authority, bar three, saw a 12-month rise in its median property value, with 33 recording double-digit increases. But the increases are more a reflection of the fact these locations had experienced significant value growth in the six months before lockdown.

To accurately measure the market since start of the Covid19 crisis, OneRoof and Valocity have created an index that covers a range of different metrics. By breaking down what’s been selling together with the nature of the housing stock in any given location, we can track the actual changes in individual submarkets more effectively.

The OneRoof-Valocity index has applied a baseline figure to property values in every region and territorial authority in New Zealand (where possible the index has been applied at suburb level). Property values on March 25, 2020, the day before the country went into lockdown, are set at 1000 on the index. Every sale since that date has been analysed and a value applied, which has then been tracked in accordance with the baseline value, allowing subtle changes in the market to be measured.

The index shows the impact of the lockdown and how property values have changed since the country returned to normal trading conditions. You can also begin to see the disparity (and danger) of relying solely upon the traditional 12-month value level movement. For example, the median value in Dunedin rose 19.8 per cent in the last 12 months. However, on the index

these locations.

Dunedin house values have slipped 2.5 per cent.

What do the numbers show?

The housing market had been gathering steam in the months before Covid-19 struck, driven by strong growth in the regions and a resurgent Auckland market. Since lockdown the market has been subdued but positive, up 0.5 per cent on the index.

At a regional level, value growth since March 25 has been a mixed bag. In the 12 months leading to into lockdown, the index reveals that seven of New Zealand 16 regions experienced double-digit value growth, with Gisborne out in front with a more than 25 per cent increase.

Post-lockdown, the rate of growth has stalled across the board, with no region experiencing more than 4 per cent growth since lockdown (Manawatu-Whanganui is the top performer with 3.77 per cent growth).

Five regions have seen a drop in values on the index — Otago, Northland, West Coast, Nelson and Wellington. The largest decrease is in Otago, which is down 3.42 per cent, driven by the softening of values in Queenstown Lakes.

When the index is run at a Territorial Authority level we begin to see more variation: of the 72 TAs monitored, 24 are now showing value declines since lockdown, the top five largest being QueenstownLakes (-7.7 per cent), ThamesCoromandel (-4.8 per cent), Whangarei (-3.2 per cent), Dunedin (-2.5 per cent) and Kapiti Coast (-1.9 per cent).

The best performing housing markets in the 12 months before March 25 — Gisborne, Dunedin, Whanganui, Horowhenua and Rangitikei, all of which saw growth of between 19 and 26 per cent — have stalled postlockdown, and in Dunedin's case slid.

The TAs that were running hot pre-Covid were generally lower value locations targeted by investors, who have largely adopted a waitand-see mentality, easing some of the hype and demand in

The major metros When we look into the performance of New Zealand’s main urban metros on the index, the numbers are slightly more positive, with four out of the seven registering values lifts postlockdown — Hamilton (up 1.86 per cent), Tauranga (+1.22 per cent), Wellington (+1.05 per cent), and Christchurch (+0.47 per cent). Despite an overall dip, there is positivity in Auckland's submarkets, with Franklin up 0.42 per cent and Papakura up 2.04 per cent and Auckland City climbing back to where it was on March 25.

While there is significant variation in the performance of certain property types in each of these locations (Auckland Central's apartment market is exposed to significant volatility), the major metros are in a stronger position than smaller regional housing markets as they tend to have more employment opportunities and more buyers who are purchasing for the long-term utility rather than short-term capital growth. In fact, the slide in QueenstownLakes and Dunedin reinforces this hypothesis as both were hot investor markets pre-Covid-19 and Queenstown-Lakes’ position as an employment centre has suffered from the closure of our borders.

INDEX

Dunedin came into lockdown hot, but it was a market driven heavily by investors, a buyer group that has retreated. First home buyers have not stepped in to fill the gap as much as in other locations so we’ve seen since a softening of values post Covid. It’s too early to tell how long this may last.

CHRISTCHURCH

Queenstown has seen the largest decline post-lockdown. The fear factor is prevalent among a lot of buyer groups and there has been a massive drop off in high value transactions. The data points to potential volatility ahead - there’s a high share of vacant sites.

ANALYSIS it’s going to be weak and C, it’s not stopping buyers now.”

Mike Jones, a senior economist with the ASB, has just released a housing stocktake titled Doom or Boom in which he sticks to forecasting a “modest” six per cent fall in house prices, and also says Covid’s ill-effects will take some time to filter through into the market.

One of the main reasons for the strong showing in June is the pent-up demand, with transactions on hold largely in May and April. Supply is starting to lift but that will take time to reduce the pressure on prices to rise, Jones says.

SHOP TILL WE DROP? Economists have revised their forecasts but some argue there is still pain to come, writes CATHERINE MASTERS

T

he housing market is going great guns but some economists are warning that even though June was a strong month for sales and prices there is still some likely pain ahead.

Most point to pent-up demand stemming from the halt on transactions during the lockdown as a contributing factor to high sales figures and prices, in combination with income support measures and low interest rates.

Dominick Stephens, Westpac chief economist, says house prices are tracking as he expected and he is still forecasting a seven per cent decline over the final three quarters of this year, saying prices already slightly declined in June. “It normally takes quite a bit of time for things to pan out in a housing market. That said, I do have to admit the sales numbers for June were quite a bit stronger than I anticipated.”

But just about every area of the economy has performed better than anticipated, he says.

“Unemployment hasn’t risen as far as expected, consumer spending hasn’t dropped as far as expected and the price of the key products we sell to the rest

of the world has held up well.”

The country came out of lockdown earlier than expected and the virus has not impacted economic activity as severely as it might have.

Stephens says there is an element of catch-up spending going on, but says this isn’t the so-called “revenge spending” phenomenon talked about when China came out of lockdown and some people were said to have spent big on some luxury items. “I think perhaps the wage subsidies and Government money sloshing around in the system has to come out somewhere. The Government has borrowed an awful lot and stimulated the economy and that money is being spent,” he says.

Reality check The key for the economy is whether the virus re-emerges, as it has in Melbourne.

“If that doesn’t happen, I think what I was always expecting was a period of lockdown, a quite aggressive emergence from lockdown and then a period where growth is hard to come by, layoffs are frequent and the reality of having no international tourism market bears its way through

the economy, and a long, hard, cold reality check for the economy.”

Stephens is not expecting a second wave of economic damage, however, unless there is a second wave of infections, but says it may still “feel” like a second wave of economic damage. “Layoffs, for example, have barely begun, it’s just they tend to come late during recessions.”

Economist Tony Alexander also rules out revenge spending as being a factor in the current hot housing market. In fact, revenge spending didn’t translate to the housing market and was hardly noticeable in retail, he says.

Bigger factors are at play in the housing market, he says, pointing out this is not a normal recession.

Usually in a recession, for example, demand for lifestyle blocks goes down but instead seems to have gone up with more people thinking about how they want to live and factoring in working from home. Also contributing to the strong market is a wealth of insulating factors, such as, the country going into the crisis with low interest rates which are even lower now.

In other recessions people have been wary of buying because of rising interest rates but in this one “not a single soul is fearful of that”, he says.

The country also went into the crisis with a listings shortage and that’s still there with some Kiwis choosing to do up their houses rather than list them.

The ones who didn’t leave and the ones who have come home leads to higher demand

for housing, and Alexander even points to “cultural cringe” as impacting the market. “We used to focus this on if the British were noticing us and we’d flock to the streets if a member of the Royal Family was visiting,” he says.

“Well, now we feel well up ourselves because we have eliminated Covid-19 in the community and we have convinced ourselves the rest of the seven billion people on the planet would like to be here.”

This feeds into the market from people thinking they better get on and buy before the borders reopen.

Frustrated buyers Another factor is even though banks are reticent to lend, according to Alexander’s survey of mortgage advisers, the buyers are still out there.

“The tighter the banks are now the longer the queue of frustrated buyers gets, and they were there before going into lockdown, they’re there now and it’s getting even longer for when eventually the banks lend more,” he says.

Alexander has adjusted his view on how low house prices will fall, from five to ten per cent initially to the possibility they will start rising before the end of the year, based on the strength of the demand from first home buyers and investors, the lack of listings, and the low interest rates.

On the other hand, he is not prepared to say the worst of the price declines are over with the end of mortgage deferrals and wage subsides looming, and a weak labour market ahead.

“But here’s the thing: A, it’s already weak, B, we all know

“It normally takes quite a bit of time for things to pan out in a housing market. That said, the sales numbers for June were stronger than I anticipated.”

June frenzy “Our view is the June frenzy will fade both in activity and in terms of prices. There’s no doubt June was probably overinflated to some extent due to that pent-up demand coming out of lockdown and that’s probably giving us an artificially strong read on the housing market,” he says.

“If you look ahead to the next six months the housing market’s going to face some very stiff headwinds from unemployment, which is now very clearly rising, and population is slowing quite rapidly given the net migration has basically stopped.

“Those two macro-factors have always been really important for our housing market so I think the direction for the next six months is certainly down.”

Liz Kendall, a senior economist at ANZ, says this time of year is usually quiet for the property market but the pent-up demand meant an unusually strong bounce in the early winter months.

“And then what potentially is playing out is the underlying trends in the property market have changed, so we have a view that house prices will decline and some weakness will emerge but that is being delayed by the supports that have come through.”

Self-fulfilling prophecy It’s hard to know how much of the bounce is just volatility, she says. “We think that volatility might continue for the next couple of months and eventually we’ll start to see a bit of downward pressure on sales and prices but it might not happen until we get to the latter part of the year.”

And while sales and prices were good in June, household expectations of house price inflation has “dropped quite dramatically. There is some wariness out there and that will feed into negotiations.”

Then again, it was possible rather than house prices falling, expectations will come back up.

“We don’t know where expectations and reality are going to meet. Something I would be cautious about is whether these expectations for a weaker market start to become a self-fulfilling prophecy as well.”

NEGATIVE EQUITY

CAUGHT IN A TRAP New Zealand’s most expensive housing market is under pressure like never before, writes CATHERINE MASTERS

F

irst-home buyers, mum and dad investors, and developers sitting on vacant land may be more at risk of having to sell up as Queenstown adjusts to the new normal of no international tourists and fewer jobs.

Research by OneRoof and its data partner Valocity shows that first-home buyers in Queenstown have been among the most active in the last two years and while this group will be reluctant to sell their homes, mortgages in the expensive tourist town are high and the end of wage subsidy and mortgage deferral schemes could put homeowners under pressure.

That’s especially pertinent to those who bought during the last five years.

Houses bought at the height of the boom, when Queenstown’s prices shot up, won’t have acquired much in the way of equity, compared to homes bought pre-boom which have increased substantially in value. As a result, some may find themselves in negative equity situations.

On the other hand, firsthome buyers — unlike investors — are likely to want to stay put if they can, says James Wilson, Valocity director of valuation.

Overexposed While Queenstown’s median property value has risen 2 per cent in the last 12 months to $1.005 million, OneRoof’s new Covid index shows the city has been hit hard by the coronavirus. While house values in every other major metro market have bounced back to almost pre-Covid levels, values in Queenstown have dropped 7.3 per cent since March 25, the day before the country went into lockdown.

The slide in values has major implications for homeowners in the region.

The OneRoof-Valocity research found that more than 65 per cent of Queenstown sales between 2015 and 2020 were for less than $1 million, with firsthome buyers making up the largest individual share of registrations.

“There may be some who have overexposed themselves mortgage-wise but the figures do paint a somewhat more hopeful picture because, of course, first-home buyers are generally buying for utility — they want to live in the house,” Wilson says.

“It means if they’ve kept their jobs, you might not see that housing stock being sold off for the sake of it.”

“It doesn’t take much of a price movement for those people to get into a situation of negative equity.”

country, with 17.3 per cent of total residential and lifestyle housing stock built since 2010.

Investors and “mums and dads” who own more than one home made up a combined 23.15 per cent of owners in the town.

There may be some sales among the multi-owners, which includes people who have bought a second house to rent out, Wilson says.

“Those are people that are often making the most of things like Airbnb. If they suddenly lose the income from that property they may not be able to sustain the ownership. That’s definitely a group where they’re probably the first ones to, colloquially, dump their stock, because they’re not first-home buyers and they’re not living there permanently.”

Rental collapse Charlie Reid, of Mortgage Link Central Otago, has concerns for first-home buyers who have been active in a lot of the new builds, including buying into subdivisions like Hanley’s Farm, about 10 minutes from Frankton.

One of the major reasons was the ability for them to get a 90 per cent loan instead of an 80 per cent loan because new builds were exempt from the old LVR restrictions.

“Over the last couple of years an average property [in

Queenstown] was probably $750,000 to $800,000. An 80 per cent loan meant you had to have $160,000 available [for a deposit]. However, with a new build you could get away with a 90 per cent loan which meant an $80,000 [deposit],” Reid says.

But with new homes packages, some people might have paid a 10 per cent deposit 12 months ago but without the loan approval.

“They had the deposit but when title comes through and they have to settle, how are they going to settle? Are they still employed, are they still earning the same money?” Reid says.

A lot of people who bought, or built, during the boom years also added a self-contained unit to take advantage of what was a strong rental market, but the Airbnb market collapse means they are without tenants and under income pressure.

Saving them are mortgage holidays and interest-only measures, but Reid says banks will at some point make the decision they can’t continue with people adding to their loans while the value of their property is decreasing. Buyers with a 90 per cent loan could end up in negative equity.

Someone with an $800,000 property on a 90 per cent loan at an interest rate of 3.5 per cent over 30 years is paying around $750 a week, he says. An interest-only option would take

the payment down to about $485 a week, but it also means their loan is increasing by around $750 a week.

“You add 50 weeks on to that and all of a sudden the equity’s starting to disappear,” Reid says, adding that he’s trying to give would-be buyers as much information as he can.

“There’s a hell of a lot of an unknown here at the moment as to what’s going to happen.”

Time to buy?

Benje Patterson, a Queenstownbased economist, says those who have bought recently may struggle. “I look around our neighbourhood and I see houses like ours, and these are not executive homes, they’re just large, everyday family homes, and I say, ‘Have you really paid that much to buy that?’

“I’ve been looking at lot of those, and even ones that are transacting now, and I think, ‘Wow, it doesn’t take much of a price movement for those people to get into a situation of negative equity.’”

For those with job security, however, it’s a fantastic time to buy, he says.

Getting a low 2.5 per cent interest rate means $7500 less in interest rate expenses on a $500,000 loan. “You would have had to clear $10,000 or $11,000 of extra income before tax to be able to earn that money so it’s like you’ve had a pay rise.”

It's been four months since New Zealand's banks hastily put together a hardship scheme to protect clients with mortgages from the effects of the entire country heading into lockdown. The goal: to stop a flurry of mortgagee fire sales that would have led to a sudden drop in property values.

Based on recent sales figures, the measures have largely worked and the housing market has not only been resilient, it seems to be going up.

But we are approaching the end of these hardship arrangements, which were mostly put in place for a maximum of six months. So now is the time to be reassessing financial situations.

The two big questions banks and brokers are being asked are, "What do I do if I am still in financial hardship at the end of six months?", and, "If I go back to my previous mortgage payments and then lose my job, can I go back onto a hardship scheme?".

For those who are still on a reduced income, the banks are all working on how to extend the Covid-hardship schemes and I find it hard to believe that they will leave in the lurch anyone who is truly up against it as a result of the pandemic.

If your income is secure, there are some compelling financial reasons to end your mortgage deferral early. If you added $5,000 to your mortgage over the term of your deferral, that could end up costing you an additional $8,000 in interest. This means the cost of your mortgage deferral isn’t $5,000, it’s $13,000.

The sooner you go back to paying your mortgage, the better off you will be.

But redundancy fears loom large. A lot of people are nervous about the end of the Wage Subsidy Scheme, which could lead to job losses as businesses reassess their costs.

It is completely reasonable to be concerned about the next few months and the banks are acutely aware of the toll that 2020 has taken on the mental health of the team of five million. If you can approach them with proof of your continued struggle, you should expect an understanding response.

INDUSTRY VIEW

HOME TRUTHS

Real estate leaders around the country are cautiously optimistic, though there are still many challenges ahead. CATHERINE MASTERS reports

OneRoof.co.nz

O

neRoof polled the country’s real estate leaders and agents on the challenges the industry faced during and after the lockdown and asked them what they thought the long-term impact of Covid-19 would be. Their answers shed light on what was a unprecedented time for real estate and provide buyers and sellers an idea of where the housing market might head in spring and summer.

Many agents missed the faceto-face contact with clients and colleagues through April and much of May, but took advantage of the time to learn new technology tricks. When lockdown lifted they were back at it like never before.

While predicting the future is always uncertain, one branch head says there could be job losses ahead. “I’ve seen it during the GFC, that we will most likely lose a few thousand sales people that have been carried by the recent market conditions,” says Ritesh Verma, branch manager at Property Brokers in Whanganui.

But agents that look after their database will survive and some will even flourish.

Verma believes the outlook for Whanganui’s housing market — one of the hottest before Covid-19 struck — is positive; the town’s economy is not reliant on tourist spending, he says, and stock levels and buying activity are strong, with houses fetching solid prices.

Like many agents who responded to OneRoof’s questions, he worries about doom-laden predictions having a negative effect on the market.

“I fear if everyone watches the news and gets on the bandwagon about a market crash we will talk ourselves into one,” he says.

“We are ever the optimist, of course, but naive we are not, so our agents are working harder and smarter, saving more, and generally knuckling down.”

Crystal ball gazing John Bartley, managing director of Bayleys Whanganui, says his team also took the opportunity lockdown provided to regroup, learn and plan.

Included in that was a promotion offering free advertising and financial support for homeowners needing to sell their property.

“We knew there were some homeowners in our community doing it tough and the promotion provided some practical help and breathing space,” Bartley says.

He too is upbeat about the market: “I think Whanganui real estate is in a good place with lots of new listings and interest. With the added benefit of low interest rates, things are looking buoyant. We continue to get enquiries from the larger centres and I believe that more than ever, regional New Zealand is becoming a more attractive place to live.”

While uncertainty around

jobs, the election and the pandemic could put downward pressure on house prices, Harcourts agent Sue Ellis and Philippa Ivory, general manager of Ray White Whanganui, believe the fundamentals of the town’s property market are strong.

Whanganui, Ellis says, offers buyers quality lifestyle and good-value homes, and what happens in the future is just crystal ball gazing. Ivory adds: “Whanganui has a strong manufacturing and rural economic base, great weather and several significant sporting and cultural events planned.

“With the influx of government investment into ‘shovel-ready’ projects, job prospects look okay, and so does the housing market.”

Confidence and concerns Heath Young, chief operating officer of Realty Services which covers Bayleys and Eves in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki, says the lockdown was challenging because real estate is a contact sport.

“Our business is built on forming great relationships with our vendors, buyers, landlords and tenants, so not being able to host viewings, do face-to-face meetings or operate normally was challenging,” he says.

Young expects the pandemic will have a lasting impact on markets or asset classes that are reliant on tourism, or migration.

Transacting, he says, relies on confidence and demand, and supply factors such as regional migration, job security and bank lending conditions.

“Job security is the big unknown in terms of impact but as with previous financial shocks to the market, which are the only comparisons available to an event such as a global pandemic, the market does in time recover. It’s more a question of the length of time this recovery will take.”

Letterbox Realty agent Tracy Beaufill says the Rotorua market remains as hot now as it was before the pandemic struck.

She believes the lockdown has seen the industry embrace innovative practices that have improved the buying and selling process.

“Contracts don’t have to be signed face-to-face with agents, and [there is now] more online communication. There was no paper advertising during lockdown, however, people continued to look at property online,” she says.

Shona Duncan, principal of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty in Rotorua, says the market’s recovery was quicker than many expected, but while sale prices are up, sales volumes are down, although recent results are encouraging.

Simon Martin, managing director of Harcourts in Tauranga, agrees that the dearth of stock is a concern. “Heading into the Covid-19 lockdown listings were already at record lows compared to previous

years and this is still the situation now,” he says.

But interest rates are at an alltime low, LVR restrictions have eased, and the large number of New Zealanders coming home will need somewhere to live.

“The way New Zealand has dealt with the Covid situation must give confidence to the market,” he says.

Simon Tremain, managing director of Tremain Real Estate, says while the fall-out from Covid-19 is yet to be seen in Hawke’s Bay, any negative impact will be short-lived.

“New Zealand has weathered the storm exceptionally well and providing people have jobs, our economy will continue to thrive,” he says.

Property will always remain the number one investment for New Zealanders, he says. “The regional spread of our population and the housing shortage in both ownership, rental and emergency housing is real. These facts add up to one thing — further demand and growth in the housing market.”

Rhythm disrupted Joe Snee, regional manager for Property Brokers in Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne, says the speed at which the lockdown came into effect presented challenges. The situation was difficult to navigate, he says, and throwing in the legislative changes to the rental market meant information was constantly changing.

“Yes, it impacted the business rhythm but more importantly it challenged the mental resilience of our teams and it illustrated just how strong our people are.”

The impact of the crisis is uncertain, Snee says. “I field a lot of questions about the lasting impacts of Covid on the real estate market. In my opinion, with a global pandemic of this magnitude, it wouldn’t be right to think it will not have an impact on our local market.

“However, to what degree is another question, and I remain positive about the market. With record low cash rates, uncertainty in financial markets, and a number of people repatriating back to New Zealand I am confident the market will show some resilience.”

As for the coming months, the goal posts are changing and there’s an election around the corner. There is the potential for legislative change, tighter regulations and then, as always,

“The way New Zealand has dealt with Covid must give confidence to the market.”

Agents report that demand is outstripping supply in key markets.

the unknown of the local economic performance.

“These are all aspects that we will keep a close eye on moving forward, However, all we can do is control what we can control as a company, and to us that is continuing to provide high levels of service to our clients and ensure we do the best by them.”

In Northland, agents report challenges around supply and demand. Tony Grindle, general manager for Bayleys Northland, says the market has lots of qualified, cashed-up buyers competing for a dwindling supply of stock.

The lack of sales over April and May did have an impact but, “We are learning to not stress about things outside of our control — better to take advantage of the opportunities presented,” Grindle says.

He says the real impact on real estate in the region may be felt around increased demand for protein and the supply of New Zealand-grown agri product to a market offshore unable to meet their own domestic demand.

“Northland is well positioned to leverage our agricultural and horticultural industries. In residential, I don’t consider the Covid hangover to be significant. Central government had effectively already stopped offshore buyers and returning Kiwis may provide an additional buyer source.”

September the month to watch Prolonged border closures and new community outbreaks are concerns but, “Once again, if we accept the mantra of only worrying about those things we can control, we don’t have any fears”, Grindle says.

There may be challenges around capital and adversity to risk, but Northland is in a strong position. “Pre-Covid, immigration was increasing faster than any other province,

employment was at the highest level and we were benefiting from our position on Auckland’s boundary.”

Paul Beazley, general manager of Eves Whangarei, says prices have remained at February and March levels, and while sales numbers are down, that is to be expected. “We may see the impact on price once mortgage deferments are finished, subsidies are at an end and the effect of unemployment levels come home to roost, which is likely to be felt in the spring,” he says.

“There may be some forced sales, but I don’t think we’ll see too many stressed sales.”

Martin Dear, manager of Barfoot & Thompson Whangarei, says business has returned to pre-Covid levels, with first-home buyers, investors and expats showing interest in the region.

“There have been predictions of lower prices but we have not seen evidence of a market slowdown. Northland is a region of choice and the lockdown has allowed people to refocus on their future. I think we will continue to see demand and development and this will drive growth in the market.”

Mike Beazley, business owner of Harcourts Whangarei, says the end of the wage subsidy and mortgage deferral schemes “could put real pressure on some owners as to whether they can continue with their mortgages”.

“Presently the demand for good property is exceeding the supply. However, it would not be unreasonable to say there could be an easing of prices in the coming months.”

He adds: “The market has not dropped to the depths many feared and the recovery is faster than we saw after the GFC in 2008. The data to date indicates that it is much better than many expected and while there is real reason for optimism, September will be the month to watch.”

COMMENT

Ashley Church

O

ne of my great passions is the discovery of meaningful patterns in New Zealand property data. It’s a passion borne of my view that the numbers always tell the real story and it’s a pursuit to which I’ve devoted significant time in recent years in an effort to better understand the market and why it does the things that it does.

In many cases, this research throws up results which are at odds with the prevailing narrative of the day. Examples of this would be the discovery that foreign buyers actually made very little difference to house prices prior to the introduction of the foreign buyers ban in 2018, that “ghost homes” make virtually no difference to house prices, that the Reserve Bank’s loan-tovalue-ratio restrictions did not bring down house prices or stabilise the property market, that property investors do not push house prices up and that New Zealand has never led the world in home ownership – despite beliefs that held sway at one time or other but which ultimately proved to be untrue under the glare of market data.

Will the election cool the housing market?

In the past Kiwis have put buying and selling decisions on hold until after polling day.

Of course, not all views are debunked. Sometimes research actually confirms strongly held views. This is certainly the case in respect of the belief that house prices broadly double in some parts of New Zealand every ten or eleven years and have done so every decade over the past four decades. It’s also true of the belief that the New Zealand property market doesn’t crash – or, at least that it hasn’t done so in almost forty five years according to the firmly established data.

But what of the view that the property market cools in election years – particularly in the months leading up to the election? This phenomenon was certainly at play in the months leading up to the 2014 and 2017 elections according to data prepared by OneRoof data partner Valocity in 2017, which showed that between the announcement of the date of the election in March 2014 and the election in September of that year there was an average drop in sales of 23 percent per month in Auckland – followed by an immediate recovery to previous levels, post-election.

The same trend was once

again in play in the lead up to the September election in 2017.

In the 12 months between July 2016 and July 2017 sales volumes across the country were down by 55.4 percent (4,229 properties) – with the majority of that drop taking place after the election date was announced in February of that year.

Precisely why property markets should flatten in the months prior to an election is a matter of some debate – but, in my view, it’s largely the result of uncertainty around the

outcome of the election – particularly where a party is proposing a policy or policies which are radically at odds with the status quo. This uncertainty feeds into market confidence and causes punters to put their plans on hold until after the election.

But has this phenomenon been playing out again in the months leading up to the September election?

No – and for very good reason. Covid-19 has completely changed the ‘normal’ dynamic of the market

in 2020, in two ways. Firstly, the lockdown period effectively froze the market, in time, for almost two months rendering any data which covers that period meaningless and made any comparison with previous election years pointless.

Secondly, an unusual spike in house sales activity which started late last year and was still evident prior to Covid-19 has meant that demand has outstripped supply in many regions of the country. This means that low sales volumes can’t be reliably read as a reflection of market confidence when they could just as likely be due to the limited stock available for purchase.

For all of these reasons, and as with most other areas of the economy, Covid-19 has altered the ‘usual’ landscape and changed the rules which would normally apply.

What we do know is that, in 2011, 2014 and 2017, the market took off again after the elections in those years. Whether that will happen this time is far from certain.

SPONSORED BARFOOT AND THOMPSON

AGENTS OF CHANGE If you’re considering a different career path after the turmoil of recent months, you might be surprised at how many options the real estate industry has to offer

A

s the economic effects of Covid-19 bite, many skilled people are keen to switch industries and build careers for themselves.

Auckland’s biggest real estate company, Barfoot & Thompson, wants to encourage new people to real estate, who can reach their full potential.

Two years ago, Australiabased telecommunications sales-person Prince Kapoor’s real estate agent brother asked him to help out when a colleague had not shown up for an afternoon of door-knocking for prospects. Kapoor agreed to come along.

“The first day I got him an appraisal on a property and he ended up listing it,” he says. “I thought ‘I can do that’. “Talking to people and helping them find the right home, this is the job I always wanted.”

Kapoor spent 10 months in real estate in Australia, then came home in mid-2019. With his New Zealand licence in hand, he interviewed with Barfoot & Thompson and joined the Remuera branch.

Kapoor had his eye on being

the top rookie in the company — no minor ask when on average more than 75 of the approximately 185 salespeople who join Barfoot & Thompson each year fall into the Rising Star/Rookie category. Through mentoring from his manager, Carolyn Vernon, he aspired to emulate the 2018 Rising Star of the Year, Aaron Foss, who went on to top his agency for the year to March 2019 and has continued to be the number one individual salesperson in his region for 2019 and 2020.

“I asked my manager, what do I sell — dollar value?

Personal relationships? The feedback received was to focus on listings, so my plan from day one was to get more listings.”

Although based in Remuera, Kapoor signed listings all over Auckland, from Papakura to New Windsor, before picking up properties in Mt Eden and Remuera. He knew that this is a long-term business, so staying in touch with clients was the key.

“My focus for the first six months was not to think about money, but to focus on getting

as many contacts per day as I could. I made sure that homeowners on the street knew my face. It takes seven times before people remember.

“People gave me investment properties outside Remuera first.”

Now a year later, with a strategy in hand, a network under his belt and a winning attitude, in May this year Kapoor won the Rising Star of the Year award, achieving his goal of being the top rookie in the company.

Mission Bay branch manager Teresa Weiss, who mentored Aaron Foss, says that after 17 years of recruiting and coaching new agents, she looks for people with emotional intelligence — “it’s a people business” — but with discipline to run their own business. A bit of humility helps.

“You have to have resilience to handle rejection, which can be as much as 90 per cent in the first months. You have to have self-belief, and commit to a lifestyle change that is maybe outside your comfort zone.”

Weiss says that tourism and hospitality workers who switch to real estate careers are ideally suited, as they have the right service skills.

“People considering real estate often find it's the quickest qualification you can get with an unlimited income opportunity.”

Steve Maserow, branch manager of Barfoot & Thompson Howick, started in real estate in his native country of South Africa at the age of 19.

He says people who thought like entrepreneurs running their own business rather than having an employee mentality were best suited to the job.

“I look at what they’ve done previously — were they a risk taker? Did they have the drive to be responsible and accountable?”

Both Maserow and Weiss counsel new recruits to have at least three months, even six months, of living expenses saved as it will take that long before their commission-based earnings kick in. Would-be agents need to have completed

the National Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) Level 4, which typically costs $1500 to $2000, and then apply for their licence from the Real Estate Authority.

Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment reports the average income for real estate agents is $84,500 a year, with potential earnings in excess of $1 million.

New recruits to Barfoot & Thompson join a five-day Front Runners course and have daily mentoring with their nonselling branch manager.

Managers say that working with the company’s systems and processes, tapping into ideas and support from Above: Barfoot and experienced Thompson agent Prince agents inKapoor their was branch and building relationships with their managers all give new agents a head start.

Prince Kapoor says that he is now tweaking his business approach, on the advice of his mentor, and watching and learning from top agents in his branch like Leila MacDonald.

He even gets regular “how are you doing?” calls from managing director Peter Thompson, who has nominated him for the Rising Star category at the REINZ Awards this month.

“I want to be number one, but I know I’m competing with big numbers. I’m aiming for top 10, then I’ll take it from there,” he says. “Everyone is looking after you, they value you like you are part of the family. I joined a family company, and an industry where the sky’s the limit.”

to provide an estimate of value at the date it was run. ● Hold your phone camera over the code to find out more information about your suburb and how it compares to the rest of New Zealand. index measures the change in median values since March 25, the day before the country went into lockdown.Together, these figures are a good indication of demand for property in the suburb and whether it is a good place in which to buy.

Figures marked in ORANGE on the Covid Index column denote value change at a suburb level. Where sales volumes are too small to measure with accuracy change on the Covid Index at a suburb level we have given the index figure for the Territorial Authority.

RECESSION REBUILDS Top end of town takes to largescale home makeovers in lieu of expensive trips abroad.

T

he abrupt halt to expensive overseas trips as a result of Covid-19 seems to have led to an increased thirst for largescale renovation work, as wealthy Kiwis earmark their holiday money for home makeovers.

Architect Jane Aimer, director of Scarlet Architects, which specialises in high-end renovations of classic villas and bungalows, was shocked by the amount of enquiries her firm received after the country came out of lockdown.

“To our surprise, we had lots of work and it wasn’t long before it we were back to business as usual,” she said.

She’s noticed people’s priorities have shifted as a result of the pandemic. “We were designing a villa renovation for one couple, who changed their minds completely and are moving to the country,” she says.

Aimer notes that her clients appear to be confident they’ll get through the anticipated economic downturn, and since they can’t travel overseas, they’re using the money they’ve saved elsewhere.

Kitchen designers are busy too. Celia Visser, of Celia Visser Design, says that she’s been working a lot with people who got tired of their surroundings

during lockdown.

“I think they saw all the things that were dated, or somehow wrong, and decided to do something about it and their priorities probably changed because of our borders being closed,” she says.

Money doesn’t seem to be an issue, with most of Visser’s customers opting the best products and best materials.

“There’s a definite demand for using New Zealand-made wherever possible, which is what I do anyway, and that

means I haven’t seen any major product shortages, but I know there is a delay in getting certain appliances in from overseas,” she says.

Based on the number of enquiries she’s had, she expects to stay busy for some time.

Landscaper Tony Murrell, of Murrell Gardens, has been similarly busy. “It’s phenomenal and certainly not like a normal winter, when we generally work on booked projects,” he says.

Murrell says that people who

had made plans for their gardens over the early autumn days of lockdown were very keen to get started on those revamps once restrictions were lifted, and his phone was running “red hot”.

“The only problem is that the nurseries we use are running out of stock – especially in hedging, and unfortunately some smaller ones have closed down. I’m having to source plants from further down the North Island, and even the South Island.”

Murrell says that the landscape design industry is so busy at present, he’s unable to find the number of gardeners he needs, but he knows that many people displaced from other industries, which were negatively impacted by Covid19 are re-training, in horticulture, and says he hopes to employ some of them in due course.

Meanwhile, it isn’t just plants that are in short supply.

“I’ve been waiting for over two weeks for some fencing pickets, because the timber people can’t keep up with demand.”

At Pools by Design, director Toby Borrett says the day before lockdown began, he was forced to fill in a pool he’d been digging.

“That was a bit frustrating, but we couldn’t leave a huge hole in the ground over winter!”

Since life has almost returned to normal, he too has found his business rebounding and agrees that in many cases it’s likely being funded by overseas trip savings accounts.

He says that being a bigticket item, only a certain number of people are going to put well upwards of $100,000 into a pool. “And I think they’re also the sort of people who still feel safe in terms of income.”

erikeri is about 240km north of Auckland, with a permanent population of 5000 residents who take pride in the surrounding sparkling waters and their subtropical climate, Historic Kemp House, which was built in 1821, is New Zealand’s oldest wooden dwelling and the country’s oldest stone building, the Stone Store (1832), is another Kerikeri treasure. Modern Kerikeri has a laid-back vibe, and the town itself is vibrant and friendly.

Who lives here and what do

they do?

Recently Kerikeri and its surroundings has attracted Aucklanders looking for a change of lifestyle. Although house prices have been rising, the town remains popular with young families. Big city retirees are establishing a northern base in the area, along with creative types who’ve realised the advantages of working remotely.

What’s to love?

Buying and selling Tom Rutherford, owner and sales manager at Harcourts Bay of Islands, says that people weighed up their lifestyles and made new plans during lockdown.And they weren’t just New Zealand residents.

“We didn’t quite know what to expect when we got back to Level 1, but our enquiry rates from the US are up by about 30 per cent, which is interesting,” he says.

“Vendors and buyers in Kerikeri seem to be making easy mutual agreements when it

comes to price, and the deals are generally clean, without lots of conditions.”

He says that a significant sense of confidence abounds, and government promises of improved infrastructure for the regions are definitely enhancing that sentiment.

“I think what we have here is essentially a re-set, and as long as we remain positive, that’s going to push up the provinces.”

“I grew up in Kerikeri and it’s a great place for a family,” says Laura Knox Whyte, principal at Ray White Kerikeri.

She agrees with Rutherford that people seem to have made plans for lifestyle changes during lockdown.

“We had 32 sales in June and

the average price was $684,000,” she says.

“You’ve got retirees from Auckland paying $1 millionplus, while families seem to be upsizing and downsizing according to the age of their children.”

She says that new listings are coming on nicely and people from outside the region who have managed to find employment in Kerikeri are active in the market.

Knox-Whyte says that while nobody knows what’s ahead in terms of Covid-19, Kerikeri is certain to remain popular.

“We’re lucky to be in our own little eco-system here and hopefully we’ll keep riding the wave.”

At Bayleys, Sabine Davison,

“Fifty percent of our clientele are from Auckland and attendance at open homes is up on preCovid.” Sabine Davison

Far North manager, has also been busy and hasn’t seen quite the shortage of stock which has been apparent in other areas.

“As always, 50 per cent of our clientele are from Auckland and open home attendance is up on pre-Covid levels,” she says.

Davison says she’s had a lot of enquiries for top-end properties and expats recently paid $1.65 million, sightunseen, for a property to move back to.

“Of course there’s concern around the election and the long-term Covid-19 impact but domestic tourism is going great guns and if there is any general softening of prices, we will hopefully be somewhat buffered, so I’m positive, but realistic too,” she says.
