A slow gradual climb
Friday 27th March
Hi
A report in the NZ Herald earlier this week quoted Westpac economist Doug Steel suggesting house prices had reached fair value.
The piece is memorable as many of the economists out there, and some wannabe economists, have been incredibly bearish on the housing market and expect prices to continue their downward slide.
Finish reading my Blog to find out four reasons why I don’t buy into the pessimistic view.
Have a great weekend.
Warm regards
The Landlord
