Over the last 12 months or so, we have seen price decreases in some suburbs of Auckland, but the market now appears to be stable/flat. There are still discounted deals available, particularly from vendors who are under financial stress. Due to Auckland’s growing population, high employment, higher wages and supply-demand imbalance, I don’t see any major indicator causing further price reductions (unless we suffer a left-field global economic event).
3. Rents are increasing
Increasing rents means improved cash flow for Auckland investors, so buy-to-hold yields are starting to look better.
The seminar last night was the best I have attended. Your speech was inspiring, professional and interesting. I have followed GRA for a very long time and really love your books Property 101 and Tax Structures 101. I didn't find them in the library of Victoria University and managed to ask the uni to purchase some copies so that students won't miss out these amazing books. - Kardy - December 2017
