“A significant increase in the price of land indicates that supply is not keeping pace with demand,” said HIA Economist, Angela Lillicrap.
“The value of loans, excluding refinancing, issued for housing towards the end of 2021 was elevated as demand remains very strong,” stated HIA Senior Economist, Nick Ward.
“Sales of new detached homes appears to have stabilised following the end of HomeBuilder at elevated levels,” stated HIA Economist Angela Lillicrap.
“The strength in New Home Sales in recent months indicates that the boom in detached home building will continue to create strong employment opportunities into the second half of 2022,” stated HIA Economist Tom Devitt.
