Ep. 41 - GDP fall, PREFU update and which buyers are active?
Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!In Episode 41, Kelvin gives his take on the latest record breaking GDP data for Q2, the key question being is it really relevant anymore, given the more reactive NZ Activity Index (August data out this Friday).The Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update (PREFU) was released last week so the guys discuss what it is and how it is relevant for the property market.And the CoreLogic Buyer Classification stats for August show mortgaged investors and first home buyers remain a key presence in the current market, ahead of RBNZ mortgage lending figures coming out this week.Then, looking ahead, Kelvin is keenly awaiting the latest RBNZ review of the OCR and QE programme, while the monthly video is now live. https://youtu.be/wO9ij273AMo Check out all our regular CoreLogic research insights at https://www.corelogic.co.nz/research-news and get in touch on LinkedIn, twitter @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL or send us an email on nick.goodall@corelogic.co.nz or kelvin.davidson@corelogic.co.nzSign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email nick.goodall@cotality.com or kelvin.davidson@cotality.com

Ep. 40 - Spring listings lift held back, rents ease and confidence 'could be worse'
Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!In Episode 40, Nick kicks off with recognition of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week), before a quick discussion on Kelvin's weekend away embracing everything Taupō has to offer (while always scoping economic health and potential impacts on the property market!) Agent activity is back to early August levels (before the latest restrictions were imposed) but the recent drop has already been noted in reduced for-sale listings coming to market at a time when we should've seen a lift for spring.Kelvin then reviews ANZ's latest business confidence survey as the bank says things 'could be worse', and with the wage subsidy about to end we'll see if that's the case very soon. There's also MBIE data showing rents easing, net migration continuing to fall and REINZ reporting strong sales volumes, though Nick has a word of warning around some earlier comparisons to 2019 volumes being a little selective.The latest mapping the market interactive is live here https://www.corelogic.co.nz/mapping-marketCheck out all our regular CoreLogic research insights at https://www.corelogic.co.nz/research-news and get in touch on LinkedIn, twitter @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL or send us an email on nick.goodall@corelogic.co.nz or kelvin.davidson@corelogic.co.nzSign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email nick.goodall@cotality.com or kelvin.davidson@cotality.com
