MARKET WATCH

Owen Vaughan Note from the editor

R

eviewing the housing market’s year in Covid, three sales stand out to me. The first took place on April 1, at the start of the lockdown. The auction of a two-bed Auckland home was conducted online and was a sign of things to come, with the real estate industry embracing new methods to keep the market alive.

Online auctions, and remote veiwings, are now standard practice.

The second sale that caught my attention was that of a three-bedroom brick and tile home, just after the country moved to Level 2 restrictions in May. People had been lining up on the street for the open homes, and it fetched $1.6 million - more than $300,000 above RV - at a packed auction. That sale showed Kiwis were shrugging off economic concerns and were prepared to buy.

The third sale was of a 1477sqm property in Otara, South Auckland, in October. Investors snapped it up for $1.1 million - a record for an area that was previosuly seen as affordable. That sale, more than any, showed the extent of the boom and investors’ part in it.

How will the market fare in 2021? Read on to find out.

Don’t expect a slam-dunk end to rising house prices At the start of the Covid-19 crisis market forecasts were grim - but after lockdown Kiwis went on a house-buying spree

H

The reimposition of the 40 per cent minimum deposit requirement for investors will not have the same impact as back in 2016.

ouse prices have risen around the country at an especially strong rate in recent months, with high numbers of sales and shortages of stock on the market. How has this situation arisen during a global pandemic and can we reasonably expect it will continue through 2021?

A year ago, we all expected that the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown would produce recession, high unemployment, and house prices falling anywhere between 5 per cent and 15 per cent. For a while house prices did fall, but only by just over 3 per cent during lockdown.

The economy did also shrink, but the 11 per cent fall in the June quarter was more than reversed by the 14 per cent rise in the September quarter. And unemployment did rise, but only from 4 per cent to a peak of 5.3 per cent and now it sits at a lower rate of just 4.9 per cent.

We can put the strength in the economy and resulting strength in the housing market down to a large number of factors. In no particular order or importance, here are a few of them.

1. We Kiwis were going to spend $10 billion on overseas travel. Being unable to we have instead spent those funds within New Zealand on spas, motorbikes, kayaks, shares, and property.

2. Interest rates were at record lows heading into lockdown and the housing market was accelerating, with average Auckland prices ahead over 3 per cent during the March quarter last year.

buyers eventually capitulate and dive in, so eventually do hesitant vendors eventually feel prices may be as good as they are going to reasonably get, and they list their properties. In particular, vendors holding out for prices 30 per cent above valuation eventually ease off and accept prices just 10-20 per cent over. Some investors also start selling properties which might need some extra maintenance.

Higher prices also, eventually, discourage buyers and encourage more vendors generally. It pays to note for instance that although stocks of listings are low, in January new listing numbers were around 15 per cent higher than those received in January 2020. There are properties being advanced for sale, and it will not take much of an easing in demand for stocks to start rising again – which will encourage the capitulation of sellers noted above.

The Government has also made it clear that there are some extra measures coming aimed at boosting supply and curtailing demand. History tells us that such measures outside those initiated by the Reserve Bank don’t tend to have strong shortterm impacts. Nonetheless, if the messaging is good enough, some calming can be expected.

There are no slam-dunk factors suggesting an ending of house price rises in the near future. But all cycles eventually turn, and all emergency-type effects eventually fade. 2021 is likely to be a story of many of this past year’s unusual factors easing off in strength and producing a slowing of average house price growth all around the country.

COVER STORY

New Zealand house prices ices have reached a record ices by $140,000. But high, outstripping pre-Covid prices the boom has many worried that pricess are out of es control and need to reined in. OneRoof examines the state of New Zealand’s post-Covid housing market and picks the winners and losers.

T

he post-Covid housing boom has been great for sellers across the country but hard on those breaking into the market for the first time.

The latest OneRoof-Valocity figures show a market at full speed, with buyers hitting the market in the first two months of 2021 in force and investors rushing to beat the March 1 return of the LVRs and 40% deposits.

The demand side of the market continues to be driven by low interest rates, fear of missing out and a lack of new stock coming onto the market.

Despite record prices being achieved in most markets around New Zealand, the dearth of new listings has put off would-be sellers, who are

unwilling to list in the belief they’ll be unable to buy another home in their desired price bracket.

What are the numbers showing?

The OneRoof-Valocity house price index, designed to measures the changes in median property values postCovid (from March 25, 2020 – the day before the country went into lockdown), shows the housing market was performing well in the months leading up to the pandemic’s arrival, driven by strong regional growth. PostCovid, the nationwide median property value has jumped 14.8%, the result of increased buying activity by first home buyers and investors.

House prices in every region now are tracking above preCovid levels, a big improvement on the period immediately after the lockdown was lifted when house prices in eight regions were below or at the same level as they were before the pandemic struck.

The boom can be seen clearly at a Territorial Authority level.

Just one TA - Central Otago – is now in a worse position now than it was before the almost two-month-long shutdown of the property market starting on March 26, 2020. This is down from 22 TAs in July, 11 TAs in November and four in December. However, it does represent a slip on January’s figures when all TAs were in positive territory, and reflects

that there is still a clutch of TAs – including Queenstown, Grey and Southland - that has yet to fully recover and feel the heat seen elsewhere in the market.

House price growth in several TAs has been significantly stronger postCovid than pre-Covid, with Gisborne leading the pack. Its median property value is 35% up on pre-Covid levels - a level of growth that's almost 14 percentage points ahead of the best TAs: Tararua (up 23.4%), Palmerston North (up 21.8%), Hastings (up 21.1%) and Ruapehu (up 20%). Those TAs have benefited from increased activity from both first home

buyers and investors, who have been seeking out affordable stock.

There are clear winners among the major metros as well: • Wellington is now firmly a $1 million-plus city, with the median property value there jumping 18.3% post-Covid.

• All areas of Auckland are showing strong house price growth, with only Franklin, Waitakere and Papakura sporting median property values of below $1 million, although Waitakere is just $5000 shy of crossing that threshold.

COVER STORY • Christchurch, the worst performer before the lockdown, has enjoyed a post-Covid resurgence in its housing market, with first home buyers particularly strong.

• Queenstown Lakes is no longer bleeding but growth is slow.

• Dunedin’s strong run before Covid struck has spluttered post-Covid. It is second-worst performing major metro – seeing growth of just 9.5% since March 25, 2020. In the lead-up to the pandemic it was the best performing major metro, enjoying median value growth of 23.4% (number two and number three – Wellington and Hamilton – were way behind with 8.2% growth). This is likely the result of low listings and vendor reluctance driven by fear they have no home to move to if they sell.

Too hot for some Lesley Harris, from the First Home Buyers Club, says her members are absolutely the losers in this market of spiralling house prices.

“You require more deposit, you require more lending, so the flow-on effect is it becomes more out of reach for first-home buyers. If you’re buying in the same market it’s six of one, half a dozen of the other but, if you’ve got out of the market or you’ve yet to get on to the bandwagon, they’re the people that are going to be suffering from any increases.”

Mortgage broker John Bolton, owner of Squirrel mortgage company, says anyone who has stayed in the market has been a winner and that people who purchased last year are probably now feeling pretty lucky.

Other big winners are people who have been lucky enough to have won the ballot for a KiwiBuild home. “If you were to win the ballot, that’s amazingly good value for money. You’re buying a threebedroom terrace house or apartment for $650,000 in Auckland and these things would have market values of close to $800,000 so you really are getting a massive leg-up with KiwiBuild at the moment,” he says.

Other first-home buyers, however, are facing a tough market to get into, although Bolton says there will be a lot of new builds coming on to the Auckland market soon which might help.

“You’ve seen it with the spike in building consents over the last six months.

I’m aware of a lot of development stock that will be coming to market this year and that’s exciting.

“I think for a first-home buyer realistically a lot of the existing stock is just too expensive for them now but this is where maybe a lot of this new build activity and buying off-

plan could be a really good option — maybe some other winners are people who bought off-plan a year ago so they’ve got newly completed properties coming into fruition, where they’ve probably had a decent lift in value.”

As far as locations which have done well post-Covid go, Bolton says “everywhere. The whole country seems pretty strong at the moment.”

Adam Thomson, director of Ray White Manukau, says in his patch, among those who have benefited most from the price boom are neighbours who have got together to sell properties.

not just buying their first property but their second or third, telling investors, for example, “If you bought this now you could put your second one on it and then your third.”

He says, “It’s quite a good strategy, I think, for an investor if they’re looking down the line.”

Developer buyers might be some of the big players, who have contracts with the likes of Kainga Ora, smaller companies or more inexperienced individual players.

“There are people that are doing it to build and sell “You require more deposit, you require more as new homes lending, so the flow-on effect is it becomes like a business more out of reach for first-home buyers. and there are They’re the people that are going to be other people suffering from any increases.” building them to rent as an investment; and This is such a good strategy he has adapted the way he is there are a few people who have marketing property, saying if moved from investing in a someone decides to list and has property to wanting to do a bit a bit of land, he will door-knock more and develop.” neighbours who also have a bit Others who have benefited of land to see if they also want from the boom are developers to sell. who had been at the end stage That way, both parties make of a subdivision or property last year who may have been a lot more money from the competition between hungry thinking each home would fetch developers who want to build around $800,000 to $900,000 terrace houses on the sections. only to find the home selling “If you ask, ‘Who’s been the now for more than $1m. winners?’ it’s been people with People who larger blocks of land — and by panicked and large, I just mean 800, 800, 1000, sold when Covid 1200sq m.

Unitary] plan allows and He remembers they’re saying, ‘Well, we taking calls from thought we could only put three on these sites but we can put six on so they’re worth a lot more than we thought.’”

Buyers either want to develop the land now or save it for later and when neighbours do team up they are fetching sometimes 20 to 40 per cent more than they would if they sold separately.

Thomson says a lot of buyers are looking at the future and thinking about

people nearly a year ago saying they were going to wait to buy until after the wage subsidy ran out in the hope they would pick up a bargain from people forced to sell but that didn’t happen and now those buyers are having to pay 20 per cent more.

Agents from other parts of the country say it’s hard to define who are the winners and losers in the current market because there are people missing out in every price bracket.

David Platt, managing director of Tommy’s Real Estate in Wellington, says the market in the capital is still running hot and each property listed is receiving

multiple offers.

And Simon Martin, managing director of Harcourts in Tauranga, says there is no specific buyer group missing out. “Demand is good. It’s not like excessive but if you’ve got four people who want to buy a property only one can buy it. I’s really going to be the one who’s got the biggest horsepower.”

WHO’S ON THE UP?

The index measures value change since March 25, with the baseline set at 1000 for each location.

Tauranga house prices have soared on the back of strong buying activity among first home buyers and investors/developers, as well as those on the hunt for a holiday home. Its median value is striding towards the $1 million mark, lifting 17.8% postlockdown.

WELLINGTON

Porirua and Upper Hutt have benefited from new build activity while Wellington City is now in the million dollar club, with the city's pace of growth pre-Covid more than doubling after lockdown lifted.

Investors have put the squeeze on first home buyers.

CHRISTCHURCH Christchurch has gone from zero to hero in the past 12 months. All 112 suburbs have shown value growth since lockdown, with values in eight lifting 20%. Driving its success is increased activity by first home buyers, who accounted for 42% of new mortgage registrations last quarter.

QUEENSTOWN Covid floored Queenstown’s housing market: value levels stalled then declined in the immediate aftermath of the nationwide lockdown. However, the market has started to recover, with the current median value of $1.11 million representing a 3.4% increase since lockdown.

DUNEDIN If there has been a big loser postCovid, Dunedin is surely it. Property values in the city were growing at a rate 23.7% before Covid. After lockdown the market struggled, and is only now seeing growth - admittedly just 9.5%. First home buyers have somewhat retreated form the market.

Supply issues and lack of listings a vicious cycle Here are the key areas to watch as the industry navigates through uncertain times

U

nfortunately, crystal balls are a scarce commodity and moving into the second decade of the 21st century it’s difficult to say what the economy — and in particular the housing market, is going to do next.

After a year in which the country faced its biggest health crisis in 100 years, eventually eliminating — at least for now — the virus that is currently ravaging the globe, the economic meltdown, job losses and company failures that New Zealanders were primed to expect, have largely failed to materialise.

At the height of the emergency, such doomsday scenarios were predicted to result in a cooling effect on the property market, however, a year after the protracted lockdown of March and April 2020, it’s more buoyant than ever — underpinned by seemingly insatiable demand, limited supply, returning expats and record-low rates.

Here are a number of key areas to watch as the industry

navigates through unprecedented and uncertain times.

LVR (loan to value ratio) limits have worked to temper the investment property market in the past, and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand plans to reinstate them just before the second quarter of 2021. While they’re designed to slow the market and increase affordability levels, I suspect we’re going to see an uplift in the immediate future as potential buyers race to purchase before the new rules.

The issue of supply will continue being a challenge to address, given that New Zealand needs an estimated additional 100,000 residential properties. As a country, we haven’t made significant headway in terms of constructing new homes in the required volumes.

Building consents are currently at their highest point since 1974, but those dwellings still have to be built and demand is not being met in almost all of the provinces.

Working remotely has become easy and acceptable in many sectors fuelling movement between regions.

Naturally, lack of supply leads to affordability issues and

unmet demand is still pushing up prices. Of course, it needs to be noted that on the other hand, this situation brings a sense of wealth to those with significant equity in their properties and no intention to sell, which ultimately benefits the economy as these homeowners spend their cash.

Even when the new LVR rules are in place, I don’t envisage the affordability issue being resolved in the short to medium term.

The supply issue and lack of listings is a vicious cycle.

Ironically, despite the current low interest rates, first-home buyers are still finding themselves continually frustrated, with multiple offers on the sorts of residential properties that used to be a beginner’s domain — and this is happening countrywide.

Here is where the return of LVRs is supposed to help these people out by slowing down property investment but, even if it does, banks are still being very conservative when it comes to lending.

Given that most first-home buyers are now in their mid-30s,

Bindi Norwell

“It’s not all doom and gloom for first-home buyers if they’re prepared to be flexible.

Banks are increasingly open to creative approaches to getting on to the property ladder.”

they could potentially still be paying off their mortgage after retirement. In other words, the banks see it as their responsibility to take a long-term view — and of course it’s in their own best interests to do so.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom for firsthome buyers if they’re prepared to be flexible.

Banks are increasingly open to creative approaches to getting on to the property ladder. First-home buyers can often get significant help from their parents whose own properties have risen in value, so that’s one possibility.”

Lateral thinking can help potential buyers come up with other potential schemes.

Co-ownership with friends and family is often feasible, rent-to-buy schemes are increasingly common, and we’re even seeing two couples joining forces and collaborating on a do-up, doing the work themselves to help build equity.

Government regulations are also set to change property trends in 2021.

Labour made a number of pertinent promises as part of its housing manifesto and we’re watching with interest to see

how they play out. Simple changes to unitary titles should provide scope for new building although that brings its own issues with densification, which have to be worked through.

The imminent disassembly, then a rebuild of the current Resource Management Act — with three new specific entities, will ultimately lead to an easing of pressures on the property market by concentrating on natural values — rather than amenity values, taking various stakeholders’ considerations into account, in order to free up more land for development.

However, it may take years before we see a tangible difference from these changes.

The problems we have are well documented and clear cut, so with government, property industry and developers’ commitment, these various initiatives could really challenge the status quo.

AFTER LOCKDOWN,

Real estate agents recognise the struggle to own a slice of heaven is real for would-be owners, writes CATHERINE MASTERS

S

ome real estate agents in the regions say prices have gone so high they fear fewer people will end up owning their own homes.

But they also say there is land out there and councils and the Government need to open it up for building.

The Reserve Management Act is stifling progress and until these issues are sorted prices will not likely recede.

In the meantime, FOMO (fear of missing out) rages on in the regions and this is also contributing to high prices.

Elanor MacDonald, of Ray White Hawke’s Bay, says the market started slowly last year but momentum was well underway by Christmas.

“The number of properties available has dropped considerably and we are still very short of properties to both sell and rent across Napier, Hastings and central Hawke’s Bay. “It is difficult to see how and when this shortage will be alleviated.”

Rising prices are still an issue, especially for first-home buyers, due to the supply and

demand problems.

“There is a lack of new development due to a shortage of affordable available land.

“Councils need to look at policy to allow further rezoning and faster resource consent for land developments.”

Sellers who can afford to buy first and then sell are in the box seat, she says, along with investors who often don’t require the same level of due diligence as first home buyers.

Sellers reluctant to market their homes in case they can’t find another property are likely to miss out in a competitive situation when they put in offers conditional upon selling, and buyers need to move quickly with due diligence to ensure they have their ducks in a row before making offers.

While MacDonald still sees Covid as a threat, she says the market doesn’t appear to agree.

In Hamilton, Jeremy O’Rourke, from Lodge Real Estate, says last year “we went in with a housing crisis and came out with the same crisis.

“We didn’t have enough houses for our population

beforehand and so afterwards supply continues to be the issue, not the pandemic.”

The buoyant Hamilton economy is attracting a lot of talent to the city, with housing consents hitting their highest levels last year but when, and if, the market will level out is impossible to predict, he says.

“For now, the biggest opportunity for buyers and sellers is the market itself.

Whatever property a buyer can get into I would do so as the market continues to rise and

point this year. While we would all like to see homeownership more accessible and housing affordability improve, I cannot foresee a quick solution.

“Simply put, there needs to be a concentrated effort on increasing supply and making it easier for developers to build at pace.”

Purchasing off the plans this year is likely to be a real opportunity for buyers who can often expect price growth come time of completion, and while Coombes sees Covid as an idle

“Housing affordability will be a major political discussion point this year. While we would all like to see homeownership more accessible and housing affordability improve, I cannot foresee a quick solution.” those not in risk being left behind.”

Buyers may find opportunities in developments like duplexes and by hunting for good properties in less popular suburbs.

Fraser Coombes, managing director of Ray White Hamilton, says first-home buyers and investors remain active but, as they don’t add to supply, demand is likely to outpace supply again this year resulting in higher prices.

“Housing affordability will be a major political discussion

threat to the market. He says last year was a reminder how much Kiwis love property and see it as a safe way of holding wealth in uncertain times.

“I wouldn’t say house buying is immune to the virus but I would say Kiwis’ passion for property, be it a first home, upsizer, downsizer or investor, remains very strong and optimistic across most markets.”

Simon Anderson, from Realty Group, Tauranga, says for every buyer there are others who miss out, so availability of

property is key in the year ahead but housing affordability is a real worry.

“As a parent of three children, and a holder of the Kiwi dream, my hope is for them to own their own home one day.

“The easy solution is to just build more affordable homes, however, the fact is we all know there are no free tradespeople right now to build more homes, even if we could source the land.

“It’s not a magic wand exercise but a holistic approach is needed across central and local government plus developers and landowners.”

A big concern is the number of people in emergency or temporary accommodation due to the shortage of rentals and suitable property, he says.

Anderson also says Covid remains a concern but that owning a home gives certainty — but to remember repayment happens monthly and interest rates can change.

Simon Tremain, of Tremains Hawkes Bay, says Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupō, Hawke’s Bay and the Wairarapa represent the heart of regional New Zealand in the North Island with buyer demand at an all-time high but a lack of supply.

FIGHTING THE FOMO “The current buyer frenzy does not look like having any change in the short-term, with new price levels being achieved in all our regions. I maintain regional New Zealand is where many families would like to live, providing they can find satisfactory employment and a family home to buy or rent.”

With LVRs due back soon and low interest rates, the year will be an interesting one to watch. “My main concern is for our children who will continue to find it near impossible to enter the New Zealand real estate market in the future.”

Ray White Rotorua’s Tim O’Sullivan agrees: “The thing I fear most for the housing market in the months ahead is that fewer and fewer people will, be able to own their own homes. I recently sold a property to a lovely young couple who had previously missed out on several properties, however, they were over the moon to have finally achieved their dream. They wanted us to leave the SOLD sign up after they moved in because it was still so surreal, as they put it, to at last own their own slice of heaven.”

What gives O’Sullivan hope is market forces eventually leading to councils and the Government freeing up more land. “We have so many clients wanting to build a new home but there are only a small number of sections available.

The economic benefits when someone builds a new home are immense. Apart from building the house with all the associated trades involved and the building materials, you have new fences, driveways, and landscaping, which includes lawns, plantings, veggie patches, fruit trees, etc,” he says.

“The roll-on effect from that is that many who build a new home have an existing home to sell which creates more stock to

the market and the new owners of that home will often doubleglaze the home, modernise the kitchen and bathroom and in some cases create a second bathroom.”

Shona Duncan, principal of Sothebys Rotorua, says limited stock is putting upward pressure on prices. “These record levels manifest in houses selling quickly (24 days is the current regional average) and at record prices as buyers have to spend more to secure the scarce properties on offer.”

And Steve Lovegrove, of the Professionals Rotorua, expects when the borders reopen there will be an explosion of people wanting to migrate to New Zealand.

“We will emerge as the most “As much as it’s good to see house prices rising you don’t like to see homelessness or first home buyers being priced out of the market.” desirable safe haven from any perspective and thus people with money and the means to do so will flock here. Unless we can dramatically exceed — and, I mean, it will take a miracle — the level of demand increase for housing through massive injection of supply our marketplace and prices will not recede any time soon.”

Lovegrove says house prices are not the problem to housing affordability issues. “Far from it. Housing supply is. Prices are only a consequence of poor supply — fix the supply issue and you fix the price problem.”

The Reserve Management Act is the real problem — “it is the cholesterol that is clogging up the flow of critically-needed housing supply”.

“We absolutely must see bureaucracy cut at central and local government levels and the flow of supply released — any other suggestion is like using

band aid for heart surgery.”

In this market buyers should take advantage of capital gains and pay the bank back faster while there are low interest rates, and sellers should get the sharpest negotiator they can.

“Don’t ever go with a discount agency. If they don’t know their own worth they won’t be able to establish yours. You need a tough negotiator to make the most of the competition,” Lovegrove says.

“Here’s a clue: it’s your biggest asset. Get the most expensive agent that refuses to discount his fee — that’s the same guy/girl that will use those very skills to get that genuinely better offer for you.”

As for Covid, the housing market has always been immune, Lovegrove says.

“Houses don’t catch the flu, but it does seem to cause havoc among economists. In fact, Covid 19 has been a catalyst for house prices if anything and will continue to be so.”

Ritesh Verma, branch manager of Property Brokers Whanganui, says if Covid does return there could be a slowdown.

More houses have entered the market since Christmas but there’s still a shortage and he also worries about housing affordability.

“As much as it’s good to see house prices rising you don’t like to see homelessness or first home buyers being priced out of the market.

“Freeing up land faster and making the RMA easier to work through will be good and with the Government announcing more state houses to be built this year will help, however, this probably won’t come soon enough for some.”

John Bartley, of Bayleys Whanganui, says even the lowest interest rates in a decade are no match for the rate of increase in house prices and

Is off-the-plan the answer?

I

n a hot market, buying off-the-plan can often save first home buyers thousands of dollars and hours in repeated due diligence and legal advice ahead of missing out at auction after auction.

John Bolton, founder of Squirrel Mortgages, says part of the appeal of off-the-plan homes is that they are sold at a fixed price. And that that price, in many cases, is discounted.

“The developers are motivated to get them sold so they can start building and because there’s no physical product to wander around and get emotionally attached to it’s a harder sales process so they do tend to sell at a little bit of a discount compared to what they’re worth at the end,” Bolton says.

Often, the property has already made money by the time it is completed, but that’s not always the case.

Sometimes the market drops, and you are caught on the other side of having something that’s worth less than the sale price,

he says. “But if the market’s steady, you would expect to get an incremental step up in value simply through the build process.”

Bolton thinks off-theplan homes and KiwiBuild homes could be among the hottest markets in the year ahead, because the fixed three-bedroom price of $650,000 in Auckland might buy you an $800,000 value property in the city. Outside of Auckland, Queenstown and Wellington, KiwiBuild prices are capped at $500,000.

“I think the great thing with KiwiBuild is the price is set. For buyers lucky enough to get one it’s a fantastic purchase.”

He says buying offthe-plan is going to be an “increasing reality for many first home buyers, just being able to buy something at a price they can afford, so you’re talking terraced townhouses principally”.

“There’s a heap of stuff coming into market and I reckon that’s where you’re going to see a lot of your

unless wages increase the Kiwi goal of home ownership will not be a reality for many.

There has been no return to normal since Covid arrived, he says. “The potential for a second wave of the virus has meant the real estate sector and other industries have had to adapt how we do things.”

Tony Grindle, of Bayleys Whangarei, expects the market to remain strong unless vendors price too high because buyers will eventually give signs the price is out of step with the market.

The biggest opportunities are in areas which have not experienced such intense market scrutiny, such as Onerahi, Waipu, Ruakaka and the Far North.

And while Covid can stall markets, Grindle thinks the impact would only be temporary. “In New Zealand it has probably accelerated the demand for provincial living away from the masses.”

Buyers, however, should factor in interest rate rises into their budgets.

Paul Beazley, from Eves Whāngārei, says pressure will remain on the Government and

first home buyer activity.”

And while terrace houses are compact, a growing number of people are beginning to realise they don’t need a large backyard. A modern, sometimes architecturally designed, townhouse with a café at the end of the road and a park across the road can be just as good as a quarter acre section.

A fixed price means buyers don’t need to battle it out in an auction room competing with others, he says.

A deposit is paid up front, usually 10%, and most people can access KiwiSaver for this, plus still keep saving ahead of the eventual settlement.

Bolton advises offthe-plan buyers to do their due diligence and research other developments by the same developer. “That way you can see if you like it. It does take a little bit more effort to figure out what it’s going to be like to live in a property when you’re just looking at pictures.”

the construction industry to increase housing stock. His district is growing because of a preference by people to move north to an increasingly vibrant city which will ensure demand continues for new and existing homes, as well as investment property. “If I were planning to sell I would get into the market right now to take advantage of the record prices and strong demand.”

And Mile Beazley, from Harcourts Whāngārei, says further pressure on availability will be created from buyers keen to get into the market before more anticipated rises and the reintroduction of LVRs. “Those considering selling are in a prime position, however, the question to ask is, ‘Where to next?’”

Covid is still causing uncertainty and at times shaking confidence but Beazley says if there were major interruptions people would pause and adapt then the market would fast return to positive territory. Right now, the Fear of Missing Out has never been stronger — the volume of buyers out there is incredible.”

COMMENT

Roller coaster is always on a loop cycle Covid-19 may have been an early trigger for the housing market surge but boom was bound to happen

I

f you base your view of the property market on media reports and commentary you’ll have been hard pressed to form any sort of consistent view over the past 12 months because the market has been on a roller-coaster ride.

As recently as May last year some commentators were picking a drop in house prices in the wake of Covid 19 — with at least one of the major trading banks predicting that house prices would plunge by up to 15 per cent. Now, we’re in a period of sustained house price growth with house prices increasing by 14.8 per cent since the beginning of the lockdown according to data company Valocity. That’s a 30 per cent spread between the worst Covid-related prediction and the actual performance of the market — so it would be an understatement to say that these are unusual times.

It also makes it very difficult to identify who are the “winners and losers” of the market. This may be a favourite pursuit of media companies

who like to present things in absolutes — but precisely who the winners are can change from month to month. This was best demonstrated by an email I recently received from someone who had read one of my recent articles and was taking me to task over my support of property investors. His argument was that investors are closing first-home buyers out of the market and need to be regulated to curtail their excess.

I understood his frustration — but his statement was only true if you look at the property Higher house prices have made us wealthier as a nation and are the single biggest reason that New Zealand is now the fifth wealthiest nation in the world.

market through a very narrow lens of just a few short months.

However, if you look at the market in a broader context we know that first-home buyers have been the dominant buyer group in most of the country for the majority of the time since 2013. This makes picking a “winner” subjective and ultimately meaningless.

There’s also a question over how much Covid has really impacted the market and how

much of what’s currently taking place would have happened anyway or has happened as a result of responses to Covid rather than Covid itself.

Let me provide two examples to make my point: • House prices in Auckland would have been starting to increase whether Covid had Ashley Church happened or not, and I’ve been predicting this in my commentary since as far back as 2017. This is because of something called the property cycle in which house prices increase in six or seven of every 10 years and stay flat in the other three to four — so while Covid related initiatives may have brought the next Auckland boom forward by a few months, it was due to happen anyway.

Covid didn’t create it.

• The burst of Property Investor activity prior to the reimposition of the Loan-tovalue-ratio (LVR) restrictions is arguably an unintended consequence of those same restrictions. In other words, if there were no LVR restrictions there would be no panic to beat them and Investors would be acting in a more considered way. In this respect, the Reserve

Bank continues to be the architect of the very conditions it claims to be trying to address.

So are there any “winners” who can be reasonably said to have benefited from Covid in a way that would not have happened if the Covid pandemic had never taken place? I can think of three: 1. Anyone who has a mortgage.

While the trajectory of mortgage interest rates has been down over the past (almost) 40 years — it’s unlikely that rates would be at their current historically low levels if Covid had never happened — so anyone who has a mortgage is better off as a result of the pandemic.

2. Property owners in the regions. While the property cycle means that Auckland house prices would be starting to go up about now whether Covid had happened or not — the rest of the country generally runs about three years behind Auckland and regional house prices should have been starting to flatten off about now. The fact that they haven’t is almost certainly a consequence of the

cheap money currently available to those buying property. There’s a question over how long this can last — but for now, it’s increasing the wealth of those in the regions.

3. First-home buyers. Although first home buyers should always be the No. 1 focus of government housing policy, recent events have brought about a renewed focus on their needs and will almost certainly lead to a suite of government initiatives, to assist them, later this year. While the major obstacle to buying a first home is actually the ill-considered LVR restrictions (which are about to be reimposed) and not the market itself — any moves to support them will be welcome.

I haven’t listed any “losers” from Covid because I don’t believe that there any victims when house prices increase if the market is left to its own devices. Indeed, higher house prices have made us wealthier as a nation and are the single biggest reason that New Zealand is now the fifth wealthiest nation in the world.

HOUSE PRI CE INDEX

How hot is your suburb?

The OneRoof Property Report suburb valuation tables, powered by OneRoof’s data partner Valocity, show the latest median property values for every suburb* in New Zealand.

The tables are arranged by region, starting at the top of the North Island and finishing at the bottom of the South Island (with the territorial authorities and suburbs within each region shown in alphabetical order).

What do the tables show?

The tables below show for each suburb, territorial authority and region: ● The median property value at February 15, 2021; ● The 12-month change in percent; ● The 12-month change in dollars; ● The highest settled sale price in the year to February 15, 2021; and ● The percentage change on the OneRoof-Valocity House Price Index

What do the numbers mean?

The median property value is the middle point for property values.

Median means “in the middle”, so if for example there are five houses in a suburb and they are valued at $175,000, $200,000, $250,000, $350,000, and $600,000, the median

SUBURB

value would be the one in the middle, or $250,000.The median is a good indicator of typical property values within an area because it is not affected by outliers.

The 12-month change indicates how well property values are tracking in the given area. If the percentage change is upwards, then it means the market in the area may be hot and that homes there are selling quickly and for more money.

If the percentage change is downwards, then it is a sign that the market in the area is soft or cold, and that properties are selling slowly and for less.

The change in dollars shows how much value gain or loss homeowners in any given area has seen in the last 12 months, while the highest settled sale price indicates how well the top end of the market is doing in each area.

The OneRoof-Valocity House Price Index number shows the change in the housing market in the months since Covid-19 struck New Zealand, and is an accurate measure of recent property boom.

Together these figures give a good overview of what’s happening in the housing market in each region,TA and suburb, and what buyers can expect to

pay and sellers can expect to make.

How are the suburb values calculated?

For latest median property value, the tables use an automated valuation model (AVM).The AVM takes into account recorded property attributes and historical property sales data to estimate the value of every residential property value in a suburb.The model is intended to provide an estimate of value at the date it was run.You can find out the value of your own property - and those of your neighbours - at OneRoof.co.nz/estimate.

SPOTLIGHT ON GLENHOLME

CLOSE TO HOLME

This established tree-lined suburb is in hot demand writes LOUISE RICHARDSON

G

lenholme, one of Rotorua’s most central suburbs, and fourth largest, comprises a pleasant collection of tree-lined streets, and some of the town’s earliest homes are situated there.

Approximately 96 per cent of the housing stock is residential housing, and the biggest burst of building was between 1980 and 1989.

Values in Rotorua have been rising steadily for several years — partly due to the arrival of new arrivals from out-of-town, in many cases Aucklanders fleeing the rat race, and looking for property they can afford, especially now that working remotely is an accepted practise.

While first home buyers are struggling to get on the property ladder in other centres, they are still in with a chance in Glenholme although demand is heavy and multiple offers are common.

Who lives here and what do they do?

Glenholme is home to an interesting cross section of people and workers in hospitality and tourism — in particular, like the convenience of being close to the CBD. 20 per cent of residents describe themselves as professionals and 16 per cent as managers while almost 30 pet cent of residents are over 60, and when they sell

their properties, it’s often to first or second home buyers.

What’s to love?

Even with the absence of foreign visitors, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic,

Rotorua’s activities and attractions are still luring domestic travellers to the city and Whakarewarewa, with its hot pools, boiling mud and geysers is just below Glenholme, where many homes

take advantage of geothermal bores for heating.

The suburb offers sports fans a number of popular activities with Arikikapakapa Golf Course on the doorstep and Redwood Forest, adjacent to Whakarewarewa Village, an easy bike ride or a leisurely walk away. The forest offers mountain biking paths, walking tracks, horse riding and other outdoor pursuits.

Being so close to the city centre, Glenholme residents can easily access great drinking and dining spots — especially at the lake end of Tutanekai St. Al fresco dining possibilities include Indian, Italian and Thai food, along with delicious kiwi kai.

The housing is a pleasant mix with some of Rotorua’s oldest character homes dating back to

the 19th century and good solid brick and tile properties built in the 1960s and 70s. The biggest building burst in Glenholme was between 1980 and 1989.

Buying and selling On a roll at the start of 2020, Rotorua has struggled postCovid, with the city’s economy hit by the ban on overseas visitors. The median property value sits at $600,000, just 10 per cent on pre-Covid levels to, according to the latest OneRoofValocity house price index.

That said, Glenholme has performed better than the rest of the city, on the back of a postlockdown appetite among locals and out-of-towners for relatively affordable stock in good central locations. The suburb’s median property value sits at $622,500, up 17 per cent

“Although there are still some bargains, first-home buyers will find it hard to break into Glenholme.”

on pre-Covid levels.

Professionals principal and auctioneer Steve Lovegrove said a lack of new listings and increased buyer demand had put upward pressure on prices.

“To be honest, although there are still some bargains, first-home buyers will find it hard to break into Glenholme.

This is partly because older

people — empty-nesters — tend to love the suburb, and when they sell the large family house, they want to get into a more modern home in the area and need to get a good price in order to do so.”

Lovegrove said that firsthome buyers also faced strong competition from property investors who see the suburb as

a steady, long-term proposition.

Residents tended to remain loyal to Glenholme because of its proximity to Rotorua town centre and main arterial routes out of the city. Lovegrove added: “Local tourism has thrived since the lockdown and Rotorura was busy over summer. And because Rotorua’s hotels were full of managed-isolation guests, Airbnbs in Glenholme were perfectly placed for visitors.”

Lovegrove was positive about Rotorua’s long-term prospects. “There simply isn’t enough land available to satisfy demand and that means there’s nowhere to put lots of new subdivisions — although there’s a new development planned for Lynmore Rise soon, which will help ease the pressure a bit,” he said.
