几个要点:
1)no housing affordability problem-“When I look at interest costs faced by new buyers in Auckland and nationally as percentages of incomes” “Low interest rates have made housing as affordable for new buyers in Auckland as has been the case on average since 1992, while in the rest of the country housing costs, in terms of interest outlays as a percentage of incomes for new buyers, are below average.”
2)Low interest costs largely justify high house prices relative to incomes;
3) What happens to interest rates will ultimately be of most importance to house price behaviour, with what happens to migration of secondary importance, as covered in our pay-to-view housing reports.
