    Because there is some correlation between house prices and how much they can sell/resell units for.

    This impacts development margin, gain on resale and deferred management fees. These are 3 of the 4 ways that summerset make money (the other being care fees paid weekly).

    Therefore the price they can sell units at is imo THE most important factor outside of Summersets direct control. By extension average house price is extremely important.

    Personally I see SUM as a long term investment. With population of 65+ more than doubling over the next 30 years I'm not sure how you can go wrong. House prices may slow significantly for a while, but they'll be worth more in 10 years than they are now I assure you.

    House prices rise. ....so says the headline on December REINZ data

    Well, yes ... paper is patient ...

    If you look at the latest QV report (I assume the base for REINZ data as well), than you see that house prices did raise on an annual basis, but dropped in most areas on a monthly basis. This - and the fact that volume is dropping seems to indicate that we sort of reached the peak (or are already over it).

    Not sure whether I expect a steep drop from here (for that demand is just too high and supply too little), but I think we will be in for some years of sidewards moving house prices (and potentially a slight drop in many areas and a potential crash in hyped up areas like Queenstown).

    No crisis for SUM and the other retirement village operators, but their earnings over the next handful of years might lack the friendly support of valuation gains ...

    IMO outside markets will have the most affect on both property prices and shares
