Only people who aren't good enough for Auckland move away. We'll be fine without them ROFL. We have a waiting list of good people........

No we are like poms, whinging HQ to the end. At least we can complain sitting on top of our squillions of equity based borrowings :-)

Interest rates stay low....

Immigration surges to never before seen levels...

Property prices in Auckland rise more.

2016 Predictions:

3 out of 4 of these happen

2017 Predictions:

1 out of these 4 happen

2018:

None of these 4 things happen

[Damap]

Given that property prices have increased since 1900 more or less that isn't a prediction.
Immigration absolutely. Gummint will have no choice. There will be no one to look after the sick and dying boomers without an Asian invasion

[PTILoveYou]

Without immigration, NZ will be like Japan going old and downhill.

2 things to remember here
1st - they don't always rise and as BK alludes they do drop fairly regularly. If you get caught by a drop you can be history
2nd - as much as you might like to think Ak is the centre of the universe there is another world out there. What happens in Auckland doesn't happen everywhere.

You cant look at odd years when things supposedly drop. No one is in RE gambling like a pokie player. Unless they want to go broke

[Maccachic]

Council Rates will rise

And broke they do go when they buy into the 'property only goes up' mantra.
