So he's an authority on the subject?

But you don't need to address his argument in order to disprove it?

Sounds more like Mushy.

Second only to Doha..., something to aspire to...

It ain't up to me to convince anyone of anything. I leave that to those who wish to be fed, pun intended.

The numbers are the numbers. Your projection of delusion is dribbling down your chin a bit... unless you can come up with the formula and datasets used to calculate the numbers that Voltaire quoted from teh article? I'll add my own seasonal adjusted weighting .

I'm not the one blithering on about "average/Mean", you come up with the fucking formula.

Which says NZ's prices grew 2nd fastest last year.

John Quay said average house price in NZ are better than when Labour were the Govt ( or something like that)

Probably pay to define what that "better" was, eh?

Then, (much as it would incense Mushy) we could stick some numbers on it.

If Ida meant Mean, Ida said Mean. D it was.

Fill yer boots... at least we get an answer to what constitutes better innit.

On what?

I was asking Volty what "better" meant.

You've already demonstrated house prices are lower now than they were a generation ago. So that's better, innit?

Wasn't my better to fill.

Shirley the numbers define better better than saying better does

That's pretty much how I remember the last ten years.

Did I miss something?

I see the poor bloody landlord getting a far smaller return on investment.
They're rich bastards anyway & deserve to lose.

Here's hoping prices, on the graph, fall further so that landlords can get theirs. You should tell the corporates, coz prices, to give the landlord a break.

In 1976 the average new house in New Zealand had a floor area of 121m2
By 1986 it was 134m2, by 1996 175m2 and by 2006 209m2.
I think it's currently 230something.

Now, what does that graph look like corrected for build size?

Aye, about time, rich pricks always get all the luck.

Shit, looking at your stats, my house must have been built in about 2035.
