Well I'm sure we all have our horrible London rent stories but currently I pay about 500 quid for a small room in Earls Court. Its not a bad flat really (has an ensuite), and its in a good location, but I have to constantly remind myself not to think what that money would get me back in Wellington

Thanks Rob. Just took a brief look at the Housing/Migration study (62-06) one of their conclusions is that migration of 1% has the effect of an 8-12% price rise for housing. In the last year, according to Stats NZ, we had about 0.34% growth by migration. So there you have it.

Has there been any serious scholarly investigations into what has driven the housing price rise in NZ this last few years? Is it immigration/easier access to credit/unreal expectations/good marketing/reduction in housing stock/growth in population/investment property owners or all of the above?
