Inside the housing market: What you need to know about rates, CVs, and house prices
The Front Page - Podcast készítő NZ Herald

Rates have increased across the country this week, with some cities better off than others. Auckland Council has confirmed a 5.8 percent average residential rates increase, the same day Wellington’s council struck a 12 percent lift in rates. Meanwhile, Gisborne residents face an average 9.95% rate increase, which equates to $400 or less for 80% of homeowners. The increases have come at the same as council valuations in Auckland dropped by 9%. But, what do lower CVs mean for your rates bill? And, what does it mean in the context of the wider property market? Today on The Front Page, Opes Partners’ economist Ed McKnight is with us to bust some myths about valuations, rates, and the current state of house prices.
