House prices remain strong, despite a fall in October (转自NBR)

House prices nationally fell sharply in October and the rate of annual price growth in Auckland has moderated somewhat from its previous frenzied level.
The Real Estate Institute’s index of house prices nationally, the measure the Reserve Bank watches, fell 3.7% in October and the annual increase eased to 14% from 20% in September.
Its Auckland index showed the annual increase easing to a still spanking rate of 21% from September’s annual pace of 29%.
The number of houses sold in October at 7838 was down 4% from September but up 7% on October last year.
First NZ Capital economist Chris Green says what isn’t yet clear is how much of the September froth was due to the pull-forward effect of new tax rules and residential requirements, which came into force on October 1, and the central bank’s loan-to-valuation ratio (LVR) restrictions on property investors which came into force this month.
In Auckland, sales volumes fell 19% from September, although they were still 4% stronger than in October last year.
The institute’s chief executive Colleen Milne attributes the slowdown in sales in Auckland to a softening in demand as well as the tax and LVR changes.
“However, the fundamental supply and demand drivers of the Auckland market remain and the result for October is indicative of the market adjustment phase as it adapts to these new requirements,” Ms Milne says.
Index irons out distortions
        The index figures iron out distortions affecting the institute’s median house price figures, such as more or fewer expensive or cheaper houses selling in each month.
Outside of Auckland, the regional index figures showed a similar moderation with, for example, the annual increase in the rest of the North Island easing to just below 13% from 16% and the South Island, excluding Christchurch, falling to 5% from 6.4%.
In Christchurch, the annual increase fell to 2.4% from nearly 11% while in Wellington it slumped to 2% from 8% in October.
Still, Ms Milne says her members are seeing increasing demand and rising prices outside of Auckland as buyers of all types emerge to take advantage of low interest rates.
“It is further evidence of the ‘halo’ effect of Auckland-based buyers searching for value in regional markets,” she says.
“During winter and into early spring, the property markets in a number of regions have been far more active than would normally be expected, thus a slowdown or pause is not surprising following this burst of activity.”
Mr Green says Auckland is still dominating the national increase in house prices and prices there are now 67% above their 2007 peak.
And, even after the October easing, the national index is still well above its 6.6% long-term average.
