NZ’s housing market continues to face challenges – despite widespread agreement that we need more homes, construction is slowing down. This trend has sparked fresh concerns about long-term affordability and supply. With fewer homes being built, rising demand could once again outpace availability, putting pressure on both homebuyers and renters alike.
In this video, we explore key questions around the current state of NZ housing. Why is the construction pipeline drying up? Is the “build-to-rent” model the solution we need, or just a temporary trend? We also cover the ripple effects of a slowing building sector, the potential for a renewed affordability crisis, and whether now might still be a good time to consider buying property.
