There is a lot of pent up demand on the part of prospective first home owners. Are Younger professionals, who would have been home owners in past generations, often in flatting situations or still living with parents?
Probably the unholy spectacle of widespread strikes of teachers during a Labour administration is caused in part by the creeping unaffordability, up the income levels, of home ownership. As a greater percent of Auckland housing ends up owned by investors, are teachers being priced out of home ownership?
I don't know where the 30,000 number comes from - probably not Stats' latest census debacle! But in any case, it won't be a net figure, I wouldn't think?

Thanks, winner. An offset against the 197,000 inflow!
"Graph 1 shows that cumulative regional migration losses of Aucklanders leaving for other parts of New Zealand totalled almost 33,000 people over the four years to June 2017. These internal migration outflows partly offset Auckland’s 197,000 person gain from international migration and natural increase."
NZ will have up to 37,000 AirBNB properties to rent for long term tenants?

Remains to be seen. They have a more flexible cost structure than standard rentals (higher per night income) and hotels. Motels are filling up with emergency housing, and that demand will increase, sending even more visitors into the arms of other short term suppliers.
Hard to know what will happen with net migration, hence demand. Australia has advised our folk over there to come home if they don't qualify for welfare. That could be tens of thousands of households. And what happens to developers with consents to build who go broke. Happened a lot in the GFC with supply well down.
Aucklanders priced out of home ownership take note. Coronavirus is highlighting NZ tenants rights or lack thereof. This Landlord, who had been living overseas, is aggrieved that 42 days notice to evict sitting tenants is extended under Coronavirus measures. Under NZ law, residential tenants do not have homes. They pay the income for somebody's investment.

Will the World-wide Coronavirus recession see absentee landlords, who had been resident overseas, returning to NZ and evicting their sitting tenants, so that the landlord can live in the house.
NZ is worse than most places around the world for tangling rental ownerships with individual non-rental ownership. I swear if the NZ gov't took away the tax free motive of using residential houses as investments, then we wouldn't have these types of problems. Such as if the person uses their own home and rents it out, then they would lose their tax free capital gain status on the house (this is done in Canada as use of house is recorded ; even renting a portion of the house, that % of the principle dwelling will have taxable capital gain).
