The rules should never have changed to allow foreign ownership. No benefit to NZ at all - massive housing inflation sucking wealth out through mortgages - no representative government could support it for a moment.

Every little bit helps for FHBs. Allowing overseas buyers access to our property market makes zero sense anyway, regardless of how much of an effect they have had.

Why shouldn't they be blamed for the housing crisis? We didn't HAVE a crisis until they started buying up all the houses!
Show me the crisis in 1970. Didn't have one.
Show me the crisis in 1980. Wasn't one.
Show me the crisis in 1990. Not here.
When did it all start? When the government opened the doors and allowed them to start flooding in and buying up properties left, right and centre.

Instead, Li said the housing crisis was partly because "Auckland doesn't have enough density in the first place", and because a considerable amount of Kiwis were moving back to Auckland from overseas are you sure they are kiwis moving back to Auckland kiwis we all no for a fact that huge numbers off people year after year immigrants made the housing shortage its right there go and have a good walk around Auckland city and other parts of new Zealand and see the numbers 35000 people a year after year people need to lean that just because you come here get a visa your not counted as a kiwi because this is not your birth country then when someone like me a kiwi born here gos to buy a house in my birth country i will end up paying 300000 more dollars because i have to compete will all the other non kiwis trying to buy a home in my birth country its so unfair and in new Zealand we should not need density housing this is new Zealand not china

What a joke. When the Labour Party counted foreign sounding names the real estate industry screamed there was no problem. When the rules changed in 2015 at the insistence of the PRC the same voices claimed the market would crash without foreign buyers. Now they want to stop them the same voices claim they make no difference so just leave it.
I guess the story is the real estate industry continually show us why we all find them untrustworthy.

I’m so sick of all the people say I can’t afford a home of my own.
I’m a single guy in his 50s now and have work all my life to purchase my own home which I have.
I know people who tell me I’m lucky to have my home but luck has very little to do with it.
Go with out holiday and work over time and save hard and you will get their too like I did.
Young people don’t know how to save or give up nights out or shopping each day or walk to work instead of driving.
New Zealanders need to get of their bums and stop blaming others for their poor decisions and how they spend their money.

The people to be pointing the finger of blame at are the real estate agents themselves. They’re the ones who have been talking up the market for years, it’s pretty shameless really. The main stream media are just as complicit, they’ve been stoking the fires as well, why, because real estate companies spend a crap-load advertising in their publications.

Your right there when we were looking at houses the difference between a 25 year old house and a new build was about 50k .
Some times the new build was cheaper.
Ok with a older house you might get 100 square meters more land.
The real estate agents didn’t like it when I said they need to drop 100k of the price.

They're also the ones that have special websites touting NZ properties and houses to china ONLY. Actually targetting chinese buyers. This should be an act of treason and those responsible charged accordingly. It's underhanded and only serves one purpose - to fill the pockets of the real estate agents.

So this tells me that it's the Banks and always is the Banks that create the loose environment so people can borrow money so easily to re-invest into income earning property. What about raising the interest rates to a happy median level so that both investor and borrower can survive or is that too hard an ask and beyond the ability of tertiary educated people to see? What we have had for a long while now s cheap money. Start paying rates so people don't feel the need to HAVE to invest in property to get a reasonable return and you will see more stability in the market. The Reserve Bank - does it have the power and is this their department?

I think you will find the real estate industry is trying to divert the mess away from them to the banks. The banks may have an input but no foreign investor can get a loan at all as overseas income cannot be counted. Just agents trying to show they care about something apart from the new car and boat.

There's no NZ benefit for the level of overseas investment in residential housing to be more than zero. Anything more only inflates prices for locals, thats why most of the other countries buying here don't permit it themselves.
No sympathy for the property ticket clippers, they couldn't care less about NZ, it's all for their own pockets

I personally feel something had to happen as the current climate is not sustainable, property investors are also the landlords and they are very poor landlords. They do not do maintenance and charge exorbitant rents, someone who lives overseas and owns several properties has no emotional connection to the property or the tenants.
In New Zealand we deserve better, we live in the most beautiful country in the world. People should be able to buy a house in their own country, renters should only pay a percentage of their income on rent allowing them to spend time with their families going to shows, movies, overseas trips etc not tied to a substandard property owned by a faceless offshore investor.
People should live in a house with a reasonable rent and it should be properly maintained. I deal with clients living in houses where the stove hasn't worked for two months, damp, mouldy houses where maintenance is not carried out and it is not isolated cases, I see it more regularly.
The foreign investors are not doing a good job of managing the private sector. Substandard houses might be acceptable in their third world country but not in a first world affluent country like New Zealand. Something needs to change and fast.

Oh so we have an admission that foreign buyers, clearly mostly Chinese DID skew the market and now they have been called back by tightening of capital flight from China, we should no longer worry about them. Yeah right!!They have left this country with unsustainably high house prices and resulting fall in prices will hurt many who have purchased recently for the first time.
They still need barring so that this cannot be repeated.
Scales are slowly falling from the eyes of those who refused to see this was happening, the way back down could be messy.
I hope the leeches featured in this article learn a good lesson from it, and maybe go do something productive.

These are just the same lies that were propagated 3 years ago by the John Key government.Get rid of foreign investors out of our housing market, and if they are as inconsequential as claimed no one will notice a thing.
But of course anyone with the slightest bit of gumption knows that in any market with an inflexible supply like property, a small % increase in demand will result in a massive increase in prices especially when that demand is loaded with laundered money that must be gone by tomorrow no matter the cost.

3位华人房地产从业人士上媒体 谈谈海外买家作者: RyRy 日期:2018-06-14 16:27 阅读:356 来源:天维网编译
分享到：
【天维网 新西兰微财经 据Stuff】新西兰主流媒体连续采访了3个华人房地产从业人士，听一下他们说了什么。
Stuff昨天的报道：外国投资者“不应该为住房危机受指责”：原文链接
第一个出镜的是Peter Young，Barfoot and Thompson公司一位资深华人中介，他说，海外买家几年前一次可以买十套房，现在这种情况没了。
“我们遇到的中国买家，比如那些来新西兰买房再出租的，和三年前相比大概少了一半。
“最重要的一个因素，还是现在在新西兰贷款变得难多了。”
Young说，他遇到的大部分中国买家在新西兰购房都是商业目的，或者因为他们的孩子是留学生。
目前的背景是，“禁止海外买家购房法”已经通过了一读，很快会对一读文本有所修改并进入立法最终程序。
第二个出镜的是Gary Lin，奥克兰房产投资界的“投资教练”。
Gary Lin在接受采访时说，中国限制外汇流出的政策，也“毫无疑问”影响到了他们在奥克兰购房的能力。
他也提到更严的贷款规定、收入要求都阻碍了外国买家，“由于资本转移难了，银行出借难了，IRD的合规要求多了，明线政策的效果，海外投资办公室的要求，我想海外买家对新西兰的兴趣也在减少，之前很高是因为这些限制都没有。”
他说，新西兰当然仍然是国际投资者追逐的一个目的地，因为这里环境好，而且投资和其他发达国家比“相对来说还是容易的”。
最后出镜的是Frank Li，他是奥克兰房产开发及顾问公司Luxury Infinity新投集团的CEO，他认为，海外买家对新西兰房地产市场的影响被“严重夸张”了。
他说，奥克兰住房危机的出现，部分原因是从一开始规划就是按照低密度人口进行的城市规划，遇到人口增长的今天（包含从国外返乡的Kiwi），这种城市规划的问题就出来了。
他说，房地产市场当然不必要过热，但现今奥克兰的房地产开发应该受到鼓励。
“一个健康的房地产行业可以为社会带来很多工作机会，以及为政府带来税务收入。”他还认为真正有需求的海外投资人可以刺激本地开发商将更多资源投入到市场，这对新西兰的发展是有利的。
对于那些担心外国人带来房地产负面影响的人，房产投资教练Gary Lin鼓励人民自学金融和投资知识，“将未来掌握在自己手中”。

抱怨的人看不到周围买了很多投资房的 kiwi，只看到街头越来越多的亚洲面孔和英文关于海外买家的报道，于是就推出这样的结论-----》见到更多街头亚洲面孔+听到越来越多海外买家报道------》越来越相信这个结论，越愤怒。
忙着愤怒就没空努力赚钱了呀。而且他们应该检讨一下自己为什么混到本地人朋友圈糟糕到都买房困难。这都几轮上涨了。要抱怨也是15年后来的新移民抱怨。
