## Resource

Are townhouses actually crashing house prices in New Zealand… or is that just the story people want to believe? In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down the “oversupply” narrative – using real data to show what’s really happening in the property market. You’ll learn: Whether townhouses are really driving house prices down If New Zealand has actually built too many homes – or if that’s a myth Why some properties are sitting unsold (and what they all have in common) The key takeaway? It’s not a “too many houses” problem, it’s a pricing and product problem. The right properties in the right locations are still selling. The market isn’t broken… It’s just adjusting.
