Maybe the classic tactic of exaggerating other interest, to squeeze more dough out of the one party that was actually seriously interested.

As our own Barfoot Beagle has posted - real estate prices are amazingly still going up (well the median sales prices at least.) So the impact on MET is less likely to be at the level required to trigger the MAC.

England recently reported its biggest monthly drop in house prices for 11 years. So perhaps in NZ the rise may be due to a combination of a more successful Covid policy, a healthier economic outlook prior to Lockdown and fewer active real estate purchasers reliant on servicing mortgages from incomes affected by the Covid measures? However it could be that the drop in interest rates is most successful in NZ at supporting real estate rather than the economy - at least initially?
