In this episode of the New Zealand Property Market Podcast, Nick Goodall and Kelvin Davidson tackle the persistent slowdown in property transactions as September sales volumes reveal a clear downward trend. With nine consecutive months of year-on-year declines, the buyers hold the pricing power, but high mortgage test rates and economic caution are keeping active participants on the sidelines.

We also dive into the macroeconomic landscape, previewing the upcoming Q3 Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data and discussing what the Selected Price Indexes mean for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s next Official Cash Rate (OCR) decision. To wrap things up on a high note, Nick shares his excitement (and frantic travel plans) for Northland’s historic NPC final appearance in Ōtautahi (Christchurch)!
