How High Can House Prices Go? (vs Incomes)⎥Ep. 2141
In this episode, we ask a big question — what’s the real limit on house prices? Because many Kiwis wonder: If incomes don’t rise much … how can property prices keep going up?
We unpack:
- The latest house price-to-income ratios across NZ (and how they compare internationally)
- Whether Tauranga and Auckland are truly “the most unaffordable” – or if the data hides something deeper
- Why DTI (debt-to-income) ratios might be more useful than price-to-income when assessing affordability
You’ll also hear why existing homeowners with high equity – not first-home buyers – might be the key to understanding what’s really driving the property market.
