New listings up, total stock up more and asking prices down on Realestate.co.nz

I've begun searching for an honest Agent to upload the correct value. As most here will attest, this endeavor might take a while. 

Hahaha, paper gains? Really? homes.co.nz is simply an algorithm's projection from past data. It has swung hundreds of thousands over the last few years on properties I monitor.

It isn't anywhere near being a registered valuer and its values can be manipulated by RE agents at a whim and a buck.

It shouldn't be used as a buying guide. At best it's a device that manufactures FOMO and a false sense of wealth

"Criminal, misleading, deceitful, sneaky, dishonest."

The above reminds us of you, Retired-Poppy....... you're so crooked and twisted that if you swallowed a nail, you'd shit a corkscrew.

TTP

Real estate agents can add any price they want for houses in there, it's a meaningless site. I followed it for a while, every sale would be 100s of thousands under the estimate based on suburb but the suburb as a whole never fell. It's an algorithm based on agents inputs not actual data.

Is there a version for Firefox?

Exactly. 

For the betterment of NZ society as a whole, reduce the buying competition in the existing house market for residents of NZ. 

To build more residential dwellings to address the underlying housing shortage for NZ residents, the solution is to incentivise the construction of new builds. 

A) For non resident buyers:

1) Allow non resident buyers to only buy new builds.

B) For resident buyers:

1) give tax incentives for non owner occupiers who are NZ residents, to build new housing

2) remove the tax incentives for non owner occupiers to buy any existing residential dwellings - this makes buying new builds more attractive than buying existing residential dwellings, otherwise non owner occupiers will continue to buy existing residential dwellings. Non owner occupier buyers were moving to take advantage of tax incentives offered under the previous government.

Obviously this impacts those with their individual  personal financial interests vs the greater good of the nations citizens.  Those adversely impacted will obviously oppose this change and the lobbyists were letting their local politicians know. 

Increasing the number of houses affordable for households increases home ownership has positive social consequences  - fewer households requiring social housing, fewer households requiring accommodation supplement and resulting reduction in government spending in this area. 

Agreed. Only benefits the speculators and banker bonuses. Everyone had a chance to vote for the land tax but didn't.

So be it.
