All rights reserved. It’s been another fascinating year for NZ’s property market Moving forward to April, the intention is to ring-fence in 2018. With volumes low (but stable) and values showing rental property losses for tax relief purposes. Landlords reasonably consistent growth across most parts of the can still use losses to reduce tax across their current country (expect for Auckland and Christchurch), most property portfolio or on future profits on the same interest has centred on government policy and measures property, just not against their employment income to stifle property speculation. Many of these new rules will anymore. It’ll be really interesting to see if this triggers become even more relevant in 2019 and will be key factors some landlords to leave the sector, although on its own we’ll watch closely. the ring-fencing seems unlikely to cause a mass exodus. Then there’s KiwiBuild. It’s fair to say that the programme The first milestone for 2019, however, will be the relaxation has had its fair share of teething problems to date, but of the LVR restrictions on 1st January. We’re cautious they’ll be hoping to really ramp up momentum in 2019, about the effects these changes might have on market both in terms of construction volumes and buyer take-up activity, because banks are likely to stick to tough lending of the houses actually built. With more than 4,000 homes criteria and the pool of potential borrowers who can meet contracted with developers, the first KiwiBuild target of those requirements may not be all that big. 1,000 completions by June next year looks achievable. Thereafter, government policy will come into focus. How all of that interacts with macro factors such as GDP The foreign buyer ban has already been in place for a growth (slowing), net migration (easing) and mortgage couple of months and on 8th February we’ll get Statistics interest rates (potentially rising a bit) will go a long way NZ’s data on their Q4 activity in the final three months to determining the path for property volumes and values of 2018. If the ban has been effective (and effectively in 2019. We expect more of the same next year – low and policed), purchasing by foreign buyers should have stable volumes, with generally rising values – but whatever fallen away towards zero. happens, it’ll be interesting yet again. Also in February the Tax Working Group will be submitting its final report to the government, with a recommendation of whether or not to impose a capital gains tax, and in what form (if the recommendation is indeed for a tax, which seems likely). However, it’s important to note that the government would then have to accept that recommendation and also survive the next election (2020) before any tax would come into law.
