Auckland Mayor Phil Goff is setting up a housing task force to tackle supply and affordability issues in the city.
Despite a cooling off as demand eases, asking prices in the Auckland region hit another high of $947.141 according to the latest figures released by realestate.co.nz
Goff told the Herald the task force was a short-term step to get the most up-to-date information from the key players to get the job done.
We know we want to build more houses. What is standing in the way of it?
The task force will examine all significant factors in the housing value and supply chain to identify barriers or market failures that might require Government and/or council intervention.
