Not what you were asking but the trade me price index is always interesting.
March 22
The national median weekly rent jumped 7 per cent year-on-year to reach $575 in March, matching the record-high annual inflation growth in Q1 reported by the Reserve Bank last week, according to Trade Me’s latest March Rental Price Index.
Trade Me Property Sales Director Gavin Lloyd said this would be hard news for renters, who are already feeling the impact of inflation seeing an all-time high increase of 6.9 per cent in the quarter ending March 31. “It’s not an easy time to be a renter as Kiwis are having to fork out significantly more for everyday items across the board, including housing costs.”
Mr Lloyd said the Bay of Plenty had a standout month with the median weekly rent growing by 9 per cent year-on-year to reach $600 for the first time on record. “The Manawatū/Whanganui median weekly rent also fell into a new bracket at $500 for the first time marking a whopping 14 per cent year-on-year increase.
