New Zealand experienced one of the biggest house price booms in the world during the pandemic. However, since prices peaked in late 2021, values in real inflation-adjusted terms have plummeted by more than 30% to levels last seen in 2019, nearly six years ago.

Now, this is a tricky one, George, because it’s a subject on which my opinion has altered violently. And this is a disaster!
