Marked to of our economic list – preoperty market.
The property market is New Zealand’s largest industry, adding NZ$41.2 billion a year to gross domestic product. But there is an ongoing debate over how we tax houses – particularly those sitting empty despite the ongoing housing crisis…
Around 5 percent of New Zealand’s housing stock – 95,000 dwellings – were considered empty during the 2018 census.
According to the percent20EH percent20Report percent20March percent202022.pdf Empty Homes report, roughly 10 percent of the empty homes surveyed were intentionally being kept empty, while 35 percent were empty because they were holiday homes. A further 8 percent were kept empty for personal use (often as a second home), 23 percent were empty for renovations and repairs and about 17 percent were vacant rentals, sometimes due to non-compliance with Healthy Homes Standards. The remaining 6 percent were empty for “other reasons”, which often meant they were awaiting sale.
Could Labour do this before the election in some attempt to show response to a crying-out scandal and homeless/slumhouse renters? Or would it need a Royal Commission studying it along with a Business Plan before they were allowed to lift their little fingers by the backroom controllers.
