Yeah, nice one.

Nice one.

Yeah, look tight.

But, yep, I mean, that's it for me.

Again, sport, it's got to be a contest.

I want to see, you know, tight games.

You know, one team winning all the time, apart from the All Blacks.

One team winning all the time is, you know, never fun.

Kia ora and welcome to the New Zealand Property Market Podcast brought to you by Cotality for the 30th of March, 2026.

My name's Kelvin Davidson.

I'm Chief Property Economist for Cotality here in New Zealand.

Bit of a long story today.

You'll recognise the regular host, Nick, is not here.

Bit of a long story around that.

It made sense for me to host today.

So in that case, we needed a guest and happy to say that I'm joined by none other than Gerard Berg, who's our new Head of Research in Australia.

So hopefully today we'll be able to have a really good chat about, I guess, the global situation, the similarities and differences between Australia and New Zealand, both in terms of property and the economy.

Given Gerard's got an extensive background in global macroeconomics.

So that's the format for today.

A wee bit of a change up, but I think it'll give us a good insight into another country and what's going on there.
