Should house prices fall? Kieran McAnulty on affordability | Q+A 2024

- Housing Minister Chris Bishop has stated plainly he wants house prices to drop, even if the idea makes homeowners nervous. Would Labour's housing spokesperson Kieran McAnulty be keen to see the same?
Rates are also rising across the country, putting pressure on the cost of living. McAnulty says residents should hold the Government, rather than their local mayors, responsible for that.
Q+A also asks McAnulty whether he has any plans to become Labour's next leader.
Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
When the local government minister will not even give the councils 5 minutes to state there cases then basically denying them without even looking at it. For all the cuts that national have made are we any better off I say no
Agree
House prices in New Zealand is ridiculously high.
To pay around 1.5 million dollars for a entry level house that's build entirely out of timber is outrageous.
First time home buyers, especially young people, will have to save money for years to afford it.
If you are paying 1.5 million you are looking in the wrong place
Its not what it is made of its the demand for it. Reduce demand will reduce the price.
1.5m isn't an entry level house. Agree with you it's ridiculous, but also think it's not a good idea to use hyperbole. The actual facts are bad enough. Entry level is $800k-ish. 10 times average income. It's cost of housing vs income where it really matters. We have zero need to be a low income economy.
I am afraid the statistics show that the trajectory of home ownership is so bad that within the next generation, the majority of young Kiwis will never own their own home.
If someone cant afford the rates, I've got some bad news for them about the cost of rent.
house prices need to fall by 30 to 50% to make it more affordable
If house prices drop by any amount. The entire economy will be in freefall. The fact is, the money is losing value, not houses going up in value.
Or inversely wages rise…
but there is nothing artificial pushing up the cost of housing, so how can house prices become more affordable?
The answer is policy. And unfortunately that is really unsexy. We need polices that make housing very unattractive for anything except providing the service of shelter.
That will kill investment in the industry for a long while, so then we also need policy of mass govt-built housing to make up the shortfall until the industry resets.
Interestingly the current Nat govt is doing the exact opposite of these policy moves. Goodbye affordable housing under National.
Even if house prices fall, rates wont fall.
@@edawg654you are right the$NZ has lost over 90% of it value in the last 50 years. Thats why (smart) people buy property
I presume not your property though
What is wrong with this guy? Everything he says either an excuse or a deflection of blame to somebody else. This is a good example of why infrastructure building is so expensive and slow in New Zealand.
In my view, an independent Infrastructure commission needs to be set up and funded by a tax levy from ALL New Zealanders. Councils/regions then apply to that commission for infrastructure funding that would be granted based on priority and available resources. That would get around the 3-year election cycles de-politicizing capital expenditure, and take the direct strain off councils and rate payers, whilst simultaneously setting up a build pipeline over decades and thus, attracting skilled workers back into the country.
What did McAnulty do about it for 6 years ?????
Kiwi build.
No government will fix the housing problem.
the banks wont let them....bst we can hope 4 is prices stagnate 4 the best part of a decade and let wages sum wht catch up
@@1112-g1x You must be joking.It will never happen.
So right
They sure can make it worse though. And not trying is doing that.
Build houses vs give money to landlords which wont reduce rent for anyone
Use a better money to store your wealth, then houses. Replace the NZD with a money that holds its value.
NZD is depreciating against housing. Not the other way.
@MrMiratana no one is 'giving money to landlords'. Its reversing an unjust tax which is contary to accounting principles.
Yes and it will have large impact on rents not increasing as fast, otherwise investors would have to increase rents to not only cover interest, also rates and insurance increases.
That's what Labour were doing. Record housing built their last year in office.
@@edawg654that's a long way around of explaining asset inflation.
@@andrewking9435costs don't determine rents, whatever the market will support is the only determining factor in rent prices.
Common sense Kiwis are finding the current NZ experience unhappy because "We went Back" to the 90s economic strategy with this govt. Building from the top down. It is building from the bottom up and middle out using government systems that produces the best middle class society

He only wasted a few hundred million $ but who care these days, put people against each other and fool and rule them!
@@jackielone1035 - So have Nicola Willis so I am not sure what your point is.
I live rurally, and never even actually go into the town that I pay rates to. All our water is supplied by a spring or roof water on the property, and our sewerage is septic so that's sorted by us too, in the rains last year the local farmers were the guys that cleared the slip up the road rather than waiting for the council to turn up, all our rubbuish and recycling we have to take to the local tip ourselves and we pay at the tip to dump it. Our property has declined in value too, but we haven't seen a decrease in rates because of that decline, just an increase... my question is for what? Anybody living rurally in our situation, should be paying a flat never to change $1000 per year, which basically reflects the service they receive which is nothing!
@@eltongregory492 you don’t own your home, you pay rent to government to lease it.
A recent estimate was that $500bn had gone into totally wasteful and non-productive house price increases (i.e. bidding up the land prices). This $500bn should have gone into real productive businesses.
As a prospective first home buyer, I of course would love to see lower house prices. The problem is, many everyday Kiwis already own at least one house, if not multiple. If houses prices were to sharply drop, what would our economy look like after the fact?
I can't see wages doubling to match what housing has done and if it did that would just double house prices.
In the past, local councils have been able to generate revenue streams outside of rates.
A regulated and well maintained resource management and infrastructure program was always the cash cow of local councils.
Unfortunately, in the modern era, the typical function of a local council is to...
Hire a bunch of overpriced consultants to find value in unnecessary expenditure into pet projects,
sell off any and all council assets of any current or future value.
and then deminish, minimise, and outsource the services they provide as short-term cost cutting initiatives...
Oh, and then raise rates to offset the cost of outsourcing their public responsibilities to the private sector.
And of course, leasing a fleet of vehicles is a must now.
What a muppet.
Its all about productivity.NZs position is hopeless.
Kieran is emerging as someone with huge future potential in nz politics. Such a informative clear cut, no dripple interveiw. I watch him debate with bishop weekly on breafast and its chalk and cheese between the 2.
Im afraid you are deluded.
@@ShirleyZhang-bt4dj ok? Thanks for your advice.

Labour said they would build 100.000 houses in 10 years they built 14.000 in 6 years not good enough
People have forgotten how bad labour was.

Labour will never admit to any wrong doing, despite six long years of debt, failed policy, high crime, inflation and nothing other than a mountain of paper work to show for their 'achievements'.
They have already to some wrong doing. People act like everything you've described isn't happening all over the world. Especially since covid.

@@AilsaPehi It's like the failing education results for NZ teenagers who are victims of National Standards. the The National party introduced a policy of National Standards in reading, writing and mathematics for primary-aged students when it became the government in 2008.

I work in a cafe across the road from a kainga Ora office. All of them come in 3 times a day for a chinwag and a ciggy for 40 mins at a time - I think it’s fair to say there’s definitely inefficiencies.
Surely Kieran you have to always look at council ineffientties first..it's the old adage that people with other people's money waist it in a lot of situations
This guy is supposed to be the bright future of the Labour Party!
Wages will need to triple for house prices to be affordable. What a joke
It's a shame Labour isn't interested in a change of leader. It's all well and good to say the current government is terrible and that Labour has a new policy platform post-2023. But Chippy has too much baggage and doesn't have that X-factor which Lange, Clark, and Ardern had. I fear he's the new Bill Rowling and that Labour will plow ahead with him as leader and lose what ought to be a winnable election
man should check the comment sections anytime a video of him is put out. There's a fair amount of people calling for him to be leader.
Real and nominal house prices are already falling as interest rates go up. The unsustainable net inbound immigration rate also needs to fall to a sustainable level which will also help manage house prices.
I think Kieran is a genuine, determined, hardworking opposition politician. No matter what side your on he is playing a critical role in keeping the government honest, doing his job for the good of NZers and NZ so give him a fair deal. The way he is going he could be the next PM after Chris 6 or 9 years time. I hope then he decides to step up to the top job in hand. I honestly think one of the factors stopping Labour is the Maori and Green party that I can't vote for because of obvious reasons.
I can see he is a good NZ bloke dedicated to delivering what's best for us all, but he's in the wrong waka.
Gosh no, he’s an absolute snake. Nothing says can be taken seriously as he such a poor record in and out of the house when it comes to honesty.
@@tommym6515 okay I respect your opinion. Let's put him in the spotlight as an opposition politician which is important over the next 6-9 years and see if he sinks or swims, see if what he says stacks up, but I won't be voting for any of the opposition parties in the foreseeable future. Just my 2 cents worth.
I won’t go near any of the opposition parties based solely on their race ideologies. The Greens/TPM and Labour have some deplorable members who have shown themselves to be out and out racists who believe in racial supremacy. I give them nothing.

Councils do nothing but dumb shit like build new intersections with useless crossings and speed bumps where the road layout was relatively fine in the first place.
What a wasted question( do want leadership job), the guy answered he isn’t interested, nor are we . Some great answers from this guy, do your job, ask meaningful questions.
Its poor form, and disingenuous for Kieran to sit there and attempt to rewrite the history book on the effects that six years of labour, over-inflating the minimum wage beyond economic growth, writing blank cheques to KO without accountability for resulting productivity and costly legacy projects, has had on the skyrocketing rates bill we now face and placing the blame at Nationals door when these increases were announced merely months into the new government coming to power.
Don’t pretend National is any better, to do so is disingenuous at best
Even so doesn't make my point about what Kerian is doing here any less valid.
This was predicted loud and clear by labour if 3 waters was abandoned. The government of the greedy abandoned it and caused the crisis. Obviously you are not a ratepayer or you would not be trolling.
How did Labour over-inflate minimum wage? NZ GDP is more than high enough for all working NZ residents to be afforded at least a living wage. The issue is a broken system of profit distribution where landlords, business owners, and corporations are all allowed to line their own pockets at the expense of their employees and/or customers. The mistake Labour made was increasing minimum wage without co-measures to restrict unessecary increases to the cost of living (greeflation)
Tell the government lobbyists/politicians to stop chopping and changing between infrastructure projects throughout the country. We already 2 Bn over the projected cost heres a dumb question when the workrate goes down what goes up?
John key style politics is why homes are grossly overvalued
I have always like Kieran McAnulty non flustered 'to the point, responses with the waffle unlike the current lot. By the way, house prices will not drop whilst house's are built using the slow expensive 'hammer & nail' construction.
Only gonna get worst under national

The host asked good questions and allowed him to answer. I think labour have got a good shot if they give up the culture wars, take responsibility for what they did wrong and move forward with a plan for actual working people. If those who work and own businesses can prosper, then you move onto social structures to help others less fortunate. You don't make the working class and homeowners your enemies.
I will never trust labour, they have done so much damage to families and taking away of parent's rights. They have totally been captured by Marxists and there seems to be very little difference from the Green party now.
Politics in this country is very sick as it is in many western nations now.
Nice little puff piece for Labour with almost zero interruptions and zero talking over Kieran. Compare this to the government interviews where it is almost always Jack Tame and he constantly interrupts and talks over the interviewee.
@jamesmartin4500 what rubbish, Jack simply tries to get answers to his questions which the government spend their time avoiding and spouting the same old rubbish. Blame Labour and take more money from those who need it. Don't blame Jack for a shit government.
Boo hoo.
She literally starts every question with 'did Labour screw everything up on this issue?'
That's because McAnulty answers questions with obvious sense while they lie and obfuscate.
If Jack Tame was doing the interview, it definitely would not have been this soft
Housing prices have to go up because that Local Government Funding Agency provides loans to Local Councils based on property valuations. It would have been good to hear a conversation about rate payers properties being used as collateral for Local Government Loans.
Housing prices go up globally because on currency debasement. Liquidity dictates prices. House prices are not increasing, the NZD is debasing.
Kieran's great but I agree with his statements about Chippy. I believe he is the right person to lead them into the next election and people need to get over it and back him too. Also agree with Kieran on everything else.

If this country has a decent wages, there there will be little need for high amount of social housing. 38 years of 'for profit at least cost' neoliberal economic policies and governance coupled with 'she will be right' cheap, short term thinking and planning has created the the mess the country is currently in.
Councils DO have options actually Kieran!
1: Live within their actual means like most households have too
2: Sell land & assets
3: Stop wasting money on infrastructure that ISNT needed, like new libraries, artwork, etc
4: Stop wasting money on WOKE celebrations & events. The party is OVER!
5: FIre council bureaucrats & consultants !
And lets address the elephant in the room shall we? A Labour government that lockdown and crippled the country for 2 YEARS over an alledged "cold virus" !
Only way is by collecting rates?
If and only the bloody country has more taxation than income/corporate tax and GST, such as CGT, land tax, and inheritance tax, the government itself would have more money to utilize
+ Without impacting employers with stupidly high minimum wage, the government can easily adjust tax brackets ages ago so employee takes more take-home pay, obviously, the government collects less income tax but they now have more taxation routes.
Plus, doing some rational stuff on Superannuation will save so much money on them, how hard is it to not pay to high income earners, asset rich or those who are not in New Zealand currently? I just don't get it.
Nevertheless, none of the parties seem to care about these anyway
The Neoclassical model requires infrastructure to be funded from Bank created credit money. What we should be doing is reducing credit money in our economy for PONZI housing market, and increasing fiat created money for infrastructure. This is a problem created over 30 years of ideology that outsourced money creation to private banks for profit. Their greed created the GFC - don’t ever forget that - and required a bailout from Govts. We still pay NZ banks interest on bank reserves as a consequence. A permanent subsidy to an industry that makes obscene profits.
What bullshit , this is a massive scam , i bought a house with one acre for 200k in 2018 now they recon its worth 630 000 f king bullshit
Seriously who takes this guys seriously? He is all talk. He was part of a govt that oversaw the current price rises.
Hes clinging to reviews, his papers, which validity come from private interests, then talks about saving on infrastructure spending while they wasted $1billion and have nothing to show for it, then want to say local council is pointless? He has no idea wtf hes talking about. He just wants power and money!
People worry about how expensive a house is but the real issue is the cost of rate. Crazy.
Three waters spent too much time and money on consulting, and didn't achieve anything. In theory, it was good... But it was not handled well. Be honest about the mistakes, Kieran
I missed what they were talking about. I’m gana watch the news every night
as he said, its to government of the time who waisted toe money, of which he was a part of, going ahead with the 3 waters policy when they knew the country didn't want the 3 water bill, so yes he and his government waisted the money

By the way - he’s really not. I’d say to go do some reading and get some perspective, but you’d likely not “spout off” like this if you were one to engage in such advice
@dandie94 McAnulty called himself a "Proud socialist" in maiden speech in parliament along side "comrade" Ardern, and student unionists Hipkins and Robbo.
Btw all the centralisation Labour performed on Health, housing and polytechs failed. Why would you think more of their failed idealogy would work?
You cant increase wages without adding to inflation. You have to increase the value of the work done.
Economists focus on wage growth as a bad thing because most media is sponsored by corporates Wage growth does lead to inflation but is balanced by the fact that wage growth leads to more disposable income
@@jemma_19988 It leads to higher cost of production, which leads to higher prices. You may have more dollars but you need more for the exact same product. Inflation.

Why join a party of folks who want to pass blame, line theirs and their mates pockets, pass costs onto consumers by not subsidising programs that will reduce or eliminate future costs, and fail to reduce inflation fast enough because they are fine with the private sector taking over public sector services? So again, why join the Nats? Ahh, cos left wing bad.

Bring back 3 waters and council investment in income earning assets to supplement income. Stop wasting money on speed bumps, bureaucracy, consultants and fripperies until they can afford it.
WHY IS HE OBESSED WITH RATES, WITH OVER 50% OF THE COUNTRY RENTING, RATES ARE ONE WAY TO TAX THE WEALTHY, SOMEONE THAT LABOUR KEPT TALKING ABOUT. SO WHY THEN IS HE FOCUSING ON RATES AS THAT TOOL TO TAX THE WEALTHY?
Because for the councils to fund their projects they have to use rate payer funding instead of government funding. And the councils need more money than rates can provide, so rates will keep going up. Passing those costs to homeowners and landlords will also impact rents by passing costs onto renters. You may believe it's a wealth tax but renters are still paying it, making it an ineffective wealth tax.
His other point is that the rating system in of itself is not a good system to produce money for the infrastructure councils are trying to build and maintain. Hence why govt funding would've have kept rates lower.
13 homes a DAY. Take that, Nact. 🎉
No prudent solutions ... Most of the problems have come from unsustainable increases in minimum wage and adopting living wage. If we had more houses in a district then that would mean more ratepayers. Amalgamation solves nothing. What do you mean "back to the council" ... 3 waters is a local issue.
This guy has absolutely no idea. His party fundamentally made the property market worse. Killed affordability. Wasted $$$ on HNZ. Destroyed the general economy. Did nothing for infrastructure, nothing on hospitals, nothing on schools. Weak questions.
All the money wasted on HNZ could have front footed to housing infrastructure, we would then now be in a much much better position with affordability. But now we have social housing portfolio worth $45B and the taxpayer have to still pay $700M a year because the rent doesn't cover the borrowing costs. Labour destroyed our economic future.
Look at Oz.

Rainbow crossings and cycle ways are examples of woke spending that can be cut
If councils would stop wasting insane amounts of money on things that have nothing to do with core services (water, roads, waste water, parks etc) this wouldn't be an issue. ie the way councils operated 50 years ago.
as for Kieran McAnulty, what a load of BS. He had 6 years to fix it and all he did was work to Centralise everything and take what little democracy we have away from rate payers.

Almost everything went backwards under his party's leadership over the last 6 years. House prices, affordability, education, health, crime, poverty, ...... How you were doing things was not working. You're party was voted out. Costs of water infrastructure have increased because of the new regulations your govt introduced. Housing is unaffordable because zoning laws are anti-growth. I live in a growing area of the country surrounded by infinite flat land, yet the price of a 800m2 section has doubled in 4 years from $200k to $400k. Rip up the zoning laws for residential land and watch the problem solve itself.
Which one is Jack Tame here? xDDD
We can’t afford our mortgages because of your party .
Shouldn't have leveraged so high on a speculative mortgage, maybe??
Removal of interest deductibility under Labour caused rents to rise!
Too much flawed logic with interventionist Labour policies
With Labour and the left,what would you expect ?Its all text book theory with them, no substance.
It's only fair... House prices stopped going up... Maybe it worked!?
Rent goes up more with increasing house prices/ mortgages than it did with loss of tax deductions
About as rigorous as a Ladybird book
People in 2 million dollar homes can't afford another 2-4k per year? Sounds like they have no skills and just got lucky in the property boom, make them downgrade to the house that they really deserve...
Good leader
lol so right, only the journos care. they need to make clickbait somehow afterall..
A communist view of our housing problem. Who needs this
You don’t know what communism is buddy.
Trolls don't need it, you live in nirvana, we know.
Councils have spent ratepayer money on woke stuff like cycleways, cultural stuff and building projects, rather than water.
McAnulty is one of the few MPs who answer questions directly and respond with reason and justification. The coalition MPs very quickly fall back on baseless rhetoric, tag lines and 'trust us because we're determined' sidesteps. Well informed and down to earth, making for far more constructive interviews and leadership than the pompous style of Luxon and co.
Worst wairarapa politician in history. Doesn't matter what Kieran says, his previous actions cannot ever be forgiven..WAKE UP PEOPLE
he's a wolf dressed in sheeps clothing, I don't 'TRUST" him one iota.
Councils blame incresse of rates on inflation , and RBNZ blames inflation on increase of rates. Same goes for insurance.
Fact is inflation is increase of currency and credit in excess of what economy can absorb resulting in increase in prices.
This is attributable to Robbo and Orr
