The average house price in Wellington city is about 550K if not higher.
Its probably higher.
We have massive migration, the highest in well over 100 years, in the midst of a housing crisis.
We as a new family are contemplating moving hundreds of km south to be able to buy a home.
The problem is lack of work.
And also one of the towns we are looking at has been designated a "designated refugee town".
It has nothing to do with race, its the huge influx of people arriving from foreign places with a different culture into an already depressed under housed market.
To criticize mass migration in NZ is to be immediately labeled a racist, or being politically right (I am neither, and I don't vote).
NZ is very expensive, I'd try closer to home first.
