“Following on from a soft October, the consent data for the November 2020 month once again reflect the ups and downs of New Zealand’s intentions to build”
By volume, YTD November 2020, 38,624 dwellings were consented (+4.2% on YTD Nov 2019 and the highest number since July 1974), Stats NZ once again noting another “rapid increase” in the number of medium to high-density housing being consented, in Auckland particularly.
By region, Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, and Taranaki had record levels of new homes consented in the November 2020 year but other regions, notably Waikato, softened.
The numbers of new dwellings consented in the year ended November 2020 (compared with the November 2019 year) were:
