S2.E22 - CoreLogic HPI and RBNZ FSR

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!

Off the back of the release of the CoreLogic House Price Index last week, Nick takes the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the market since the big Government announcement on March 23. The impact on property values is hard to assess, but other measures of market activity are very revealing in terms of a lack of reaction, despite commentary otherwise.

(and minor correction, Nick mentions the market potentially switching to a sellers' market - he of course means a buyers' market!)

Then Kelvin gives the RBNZ Financial Stability Report the full once-over to get a better understanding of the RBNZ's read of the economy and housing market (which featured heavily). This includes their take on potential tightening of loan-to-value ratio restrictions and assessment of debt-to-income limits and interest only lending caps.

To round out the pod, Kelvin reviews plenty of positive economic data and then looks ahead to upcoming data releases, in particular the CoreLogic Buyer Classification data for April.
