New Zealand Population Quarterly Change in National Population Population growth slowed further in Q4 2017, with the moving average continuing to trend down. Almost three-quarters of population growth is due to net migration, which was 70,000 for the year to the end of December 2017. This represents a further fall from the peak of 72,200 to the end of June 2017. Population Change Composition After hitting a 20 year low, natural population growth rebounded in Q4 2017, but the overall trend is flat.

Migration Long Term Migration January s bounce-back in net migration (up by 1.6% from a year earlier) proved to be a temporary blip, with February s figure coming in 14% lower than a year ago. Higher departures and lower arrivals both contributed to February s soft result. In the 12 months to February, total net migration into New Zealand was 68,943. That total has eased from the peak of more than 72,000 in mid-2017, but the net migration is still running at historically high levels and has not dipped to the extent that might have been expected when Labour and NZ First originally came to power. Monthly Net Migration Between New Zealand and Australia Indeed, Stats NZ s underlying trend measure of net migration is holding up pretty well, and this is not a bad thing when you consider the labour shortages especially for skilled workers currently faced by the NZ economy. A key thing to watch for in the migration figures over the coming months is the net position with Australia. Historically, the Australian net balance has been the swing factor for overall migration to NZ, and when it changes direction it can change very quickly. At least for now, however, subdued wage growth in Australia will be capping its attractiveness for foreign migrants and Kiwis potentially considering making a move.

Regional Building Consents New Dwelling Consents Trend The number of building consents issued in Auckland remains strong, despite a minor drop in the monthly trend series, with the annual pace of growth accelerating to 15%. Even at these high build-rates, however, the shortfall of housing will take several years to be eroded. Controversy continues to swirl around the government s KiwiBuild initiative and it remains to be seen how much of a true net boost it will provide to Auckland s housing stock. After all, KiwiBuild will absorb labour resources that would otherwise have been available to build private sector-funded houses. And that s potentially a problem in an industry already running at capacity. That said, the easing in building consents elsewhere around the country may at least help to free up some workers for Auckland s construction market. Population Growth Compared to Building Consents Quarterly Population Change and Building Consents Nationwide With population growth slowing and building consents continuing to increase, the gap between the two is reducing. The gap is calculated by assuming 80% of dwellings consented translate into an actual increase in the number of dwellings (which may be generous given our results of consent to stock change analysis), and that each of those dwellings will house the current average number of people (2.7 people per dwelling). For example, over the year to December 2017 there were 31,127 dwellings consented (able to house 67,234 people), and an increase in population of 97,000, leaving a difference of almost 30,000 too many people for dwellings.

Consumer Confidence ANZ-Roy Morgan Confidence Consumer January s rise in consumer confidence was repeated in February, with consumers buoyed by the strong labour market (albeit not much pay growth), housing wealth and the prospect of continued low interest rates. The feel-good factor around the new government may also be bolstering households confidence, although the first signs of tension may now be emerging in the coalition (e.g. Jacinda Ardern having to reprimand Shane Jones for his comments about Air New Zealand). The gap has closed in recent months, but for now consumer confidence in NZ is higher than Australia.

Employment Annual Change in Employment, Full Time and Part Time The rate of part-time employment lifted however the rate of growth in full-time employment eased off for the fourth quarter in a row (albeit only marginally last quarter). The total number of people actually employed has continued to rise. The labour force participation rate eased slightly to 71.0% in Q4 2017 after peaking in Q3 2017 at 71.1% and the unemployment rate dropped further to 4.5% - the lowest since 2008.

Interest Rates Mortgage Interest Rates - % Mortgage lending rates have stayed pretty flat at historically low levels in recent weeks, as the retail banks remain in tight competition with each other for market share. Acting Governor Grant Spencer s last rates decision saw the OCR on hold at 1.75% on 22nd March. The incoming Adrian Orr is tipped to shake things up a bit more than recent governors, but given NZ s continued low inflation environment it seems unlikely that the OCR will rise before 2019. Projected Official Cash Rate - % Even so, some early signs of offshore funding pressures may start to push up NZ domestic lending rates. This is something to watch for over an 18-24 month horizon, as the vast majority of fixed mortgages come to an end and homeowners have to refinance.

Nationwide Values Average Value of Housing Stock - New Zealand Nationwide value growth experienced its traditional cooling in February, with the quarterly rate slowing to 1.2%. However, looking through the normal seasonality by comparing to a year earlier, the annual growth rate held pretty steady at 7%. This is underpinned by a strong labour market and continued low interest rates. Annual and Quarterly Change in Value CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 13
Sales Volumes Nationwide Sales Volumes After holding steady in December, sales volumes fell in January and the decline continued into February (albeit at a slower pace than the previous month). Auckland s downturn in sales volumes continued last month, with high prices and less of a FOMO effect (fear of missing out) combining to dampen market activity levels. Indeed, properties in Auckland are sitting on the market for longer now than they have down for several years. Nationwide Annual Change in Sales Volumes Other North Island cities such as Hamilton and Wellington are seeing turnover increase, while Christchurch and Dunedin are also showing renewed green shoots of recovery.

Rent Nationwide Annual Change in Value and Rent The pace of annual rental growth slowed from 4.9% in January to 4.1% in February, a slightly different picture than the stability for value growth. Gross rental yields continue to tick up and down a little from month to month, broadly hovering at just above the 3% mark. Christchurch s rental market remains the weakest of the main centres, with rents down by 1.9% over the past 12 months. Wellington and Tauranga continue to lead the pack in terms of rental growth, but yields in these centres are comparatively low. Dunedin stands out for having reasonably solid rental growth, combined with a reasonable gross yield of 4.6%.

Market Activity Market Activity Index With the holiday period now out of the way, valuation patterns have reverted to normal and we can see that in all centres market activity is still well down on the volumes of a year ago. Auckland continues to be an area of weakness in terms of valuations activity. Latest 3 Weeks Year-on-Year Percentage change Auckland -29% Hamilton City -6% Tauranga City -5% Wellington Region -19% Christchurch City -19% Dunedin City -11% This market activity is based on the number of automated valuations run by bank staff using our systems each week. This number of valuations correlates very closely to the number of sales that will subsequently occur so this is an extremely timely measure of buyer demand, more than any measure of sales. We can also track across any geographic area. CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 16

Buyer Classification Buyer Classification - New Zealand First home buyers have slightly reduced their share of the market in the first few months of 2018, but remain more active than they have been at any point in the past 4-5 years. Multiple property owners have also increased their share of the market in recent months, perhaps because some will be able to rejig existing finances to allow extra property purchases. On the other hand, movers are taking a smaller share of activity, perhaps preferring to renovate their existing house rather than move.

House Price Index Average Dwelling Value Values were at worst flat across most of the country in February, with Tauranga and Wellington showing solid monthly gains of roughly 1% boosting their three month growth rates to 2.8% and 3.1% respectively. The recent rebound in Auckland values was halted, for the time being at least, with a 0.1% drop in February. Values continue to track sideways in Christchurch, and the growth rate in Dunedin slowed to only 0.1% for the month.

House Price Index Annual Value Change Focusing on the past 12 months, value changes have been strongest in parts of the lower North Island, including Horowhenua and Masterton. Auckland and Canterbury stand out as parts of the country with more modest value gains, while lower down in the South Island, areas such as Winton, Te Anau and Riverton have helped boost overall values in the Southland District. *Size of bubble represents the number of properties in the Territorial Authority CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 22

Auckland Market Activity Buyer Demand - Auckland Overall demand in Auckland s housing market has made a relatively lacklustre start to 2018, but this trend does not necessarily apply to all types of buyers. Multiple property owners held onto their gains in the Auckland market over the past few weeks and are now consistently accounting for more than 40% of activity. As we outlined last month, it s typical for between 25% and 33% of these to make their purchase without a mortgage, unaffected by LVRs or serviceability criteria (and subsequently excluded from RBNZ reporting). First home buyers are also consistently active in Auckland at around 23% of the market, and have now overtaken movers in the rankings. First home buyers are willing to sacrifice location and/or quality to get on that first rung of the ladder. Buyer Classification - Auckland CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 26
Auckland Values Average Value of Housing Stock - Auckland The quarterly rate of change in Auckland values slowed from 1.6% in January to 0.8% in February, which seems consistent with the cooling in market activity levels. Waitakere continues to experience a very slow recovery in values but they still remain below the level a year ago. Auckland City values have effectively plateaued for over a year now, while Manukau has experienced some recent growth, but only enough to make up for losses over the previous 9 months Annual and Quarterly Value Change - Auckland February 2018 Current Value 3 months 12 months Since 2007 peak Rodney $951,356 1.7% 2% 62% North Shore $1,231,179 1.5% 3% 91% Waitakere $825,362 0.5% -1% 95% Auckland City $1,239,086-0.2% 1% 99% Manukau $902,791 1.3% 0% 97% Papakura $702,318 1.5% 2% 95% Franklin $674,114 2.2% 2% 70% CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 27

Hamilton Market Activity Buyer Demand - Hamilton Buyer demand has risen solidly in Hamilton in recent weeks, in contrast to softer results for neighbouring areas. Multiple property owners have been easing back in Hamilton and movers have also seen their share of the market slide a bit. That leaves first home owners as the key support for recent activity in Hamilton, and their 24% share of the market has now edged slightly above movers. First home buyers still have a strong incentive to get into the market if they can, given that renting can often be more expensive than owning. Access to Kiwisaver withdrawals may also be a factor here. Buyer Classification - Hamilton CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 32
Hamilton Values Average Value of Housing Stock - Hamilton Hamilton s property values seem to have passed a recent soft patch and although quarterly growth rates are ticking along at less than 1%, the annual rate has recently lifted to 3% in the past few months. Growth in Hamilton South West has now begun to slow, while Central & North West has finally seen a turnaround in values after 4 months of value erosion, however the three month rate is still negative. Hamilton South East is showing signs of recovery, with the three-month growth rate pretty strong at 1.8%.

Tauranga Market Activity Buyer Demand - Tauranga Tauranga s valuation volumes have been up and down so far in 2018, but if we look through the volatility the general trend has been rising. First home buyers play less of a role in Tauranga than other main centres, so it s the movers and multiple property owners that are supporting the city s activity. Multiple property owners in particular have had a relatively good start to 2018. Buyer Classification - Tauranga CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 34
Tauranga Values Average Value of Housing Stock - Tauranga Tauranga house values seem to have started a bit of a bounceback, with the quarterly rate of change picking up in the last few months. It was 2.8% in February, up from 1.7% in January. The annual rate of growth also now seems to have turned a corner. Annual and Quarterly Value Change - Tauranga CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 35
Wellington Market Activity Buyer Demand - Wellington Wellington s property market is pretty active at present, with valuation volumes the same or better than a year ago. That s pretty rare around the country. Movers are not especially active, only accounting for about 20% of the market in Wellington at present. Multiple property owners are holding their own, but the real action is amongst first time buyers. They continue to raise their share of activity, and at 33%, are now more significant in the market than at any time in the past decade.

Wellington Values Average Value of Housing Stock Wellington Values in Wellington continue to rise fairly strongly on a quarterly basis, at around 3%. The annual rate of growth has come down from previous rapid levels of more than 20%, but it remains pretty strong at 9%. Growth has slowed across the wider Wellington area with values in February in particular quite weak, and Lower Hutt s quarterly rate of 0.5% the lowest witnessed since October 2015.

Christchurch Market Activity Buyer Demand - Christchurch Market activity in Christchurch remains pretty stable, albeit at levels comfortably lower than a year ago. The buyer classification series shows that multiple property owners and movers have reduced their share of the market lately, and this is creating a gap for first time buyers. The latter have increased their share of activity in Christchurch to 25%. It is important to note that most buyer types, not only in Christchurch but all around the country, have become less active. It s just that first home buyers have held up better than others in terms of their interest in entering the property market. Buyer Classification - Christchurch CoreLogic Monthly Property Market & Economic Update New Zealand March 2018 38
Christchurch Values Average Value of Housing Stock - Christchurch Against the backdrop of subdued market activity levels in Christchurch, values are also soft. The quarterly change was essentially zero in February, and values have dipped by 1% compared with a year ago. This is evident across the City; however values in the Hills have continued to make some ground back after the average value dropped to below $650k in October 2017. Over the longer term, Christchurch Southwest has seen the greatest growth since the previous peak at the end of 2007 (39%), but values have struggled in recent times (-1% annual rate). As have Central & North.

Dunedin Market Activity Buyer Demand - Dunedin Market activity in Dunedin has started off 2018 pretty positively, with valuation levels on a gently rising trend. First time buyers and movers have not been particularly active in the Dunedin market in recent months, so it s been multiple property owners that have moved up in terms of market share. At 32%, that figure is the highest for a couple of years. This may reflect some decent gains in rents over the past few quarters and the relatively high levels of yields that are on offer in the city, which would appeal to this buyer group. Of course, rising requirements around the standard of rental properties is something that they ll be keeping an eye on.

The annual growth rate has slowed, but values are still 9% higher than a year ago. Values across the Peninsula and Coastal areas have been volatile with values dropping dramatically over winter and quickly regaining those losses in spring and more recently flattening out.
