    Aging population will also help to keep the averages down (more elderly = more one or two people households). It is what is happening at the margins that is important, and I suspect you are right Bjauck.

    From the pdf...."In light of all the factors that determine the level of building, including new housing costs, what has been built largely reflects demand. This isn't the same thing as saying there aren't lots of people living in unsatisfactory housing conditions." (my emphasis)

    The housing crisis (if there is actually one) won't be fixed until we treat houses as homes and not as stores of wealth

    Unfortunately that concept would be antithetical to the beliefs of western society. At this point, I can't see it changing.

    I'm calling a top in the Auckland property market and currently have my apartment up for sale
    I've owned it a long time so I'm not really a trader, but at this point I want the money.
    I will of course have to live somewhere so I will move to the country and semi-retire.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    if your apartment is in that golden most desired central circle in which there is more water than land i cant see much happening to prices, demand/desire will always exceed supply.
