David Price- yeah and I mean that's if there's you know whether we tend to probably look at it the other way, you know, maybe New Zealand takes its lessons from Australia, but.

David Price- You know, in this in this situation, I mean it could be the New Zealand experience is really, really relevant we're.

David Price- You know when affordability starts off stretched when when mortgage rates are starting to go up, you know when they listing situation is turning around.

We've seen what's happened here, and that's been a pretty flat market in terms of house prices for a good couple of years now.

So yeah, maybe it's precedent, maybe it's not, but yeah, that's certainly been the experience here.

Just around construction as well, I mean, you talked about it's certainly in those sort of mid-tier cities that supply has been a really big issue.

It seems to me that one big difference, and I've been hearing this more and more, is that we've had a construction downturn here, no doubt, but it was coming off a very large peak, just beyond the capacity of the industry to even handle it.

So, you know, not denying there's been a downturn, it's been tough for some builders, but we've still had a pretty good flow of properties coming through to the point where

you know if you if you look at simply our physical stock of housing relative to our population that that physical stock has increased quite a bit in the past sort of three to four years so to the point where you know used to hear a lot here about shortages you know we're short of housing we don't have enough houses there's under supply

I just haven't heard that word even talked about for two or three years now.

So it does just hint at this.

And you can see it in the stats as well.

I'm not just taking anecdotes here or sort of the use of a word.

You can see it in the stats that that ratio has improved.

We do physically have a lot more houses here than we used to have.

And I think that works for economists, doesn't it?

It's good to be reassuring that supply and demand actually do matter.

And I think what we're seeing, the effect of that coming through now in house prices is that if you do ramp up supply, you can...

you know, improve affordability and you can keep house prices more stable.

So is that a bit of a difference?
