Mike Blackburn: Construction Analyst on the boom in housing consents and construction in Canterbury
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Internal migration is driving a boom in Canterbury housing construction. The region's councils consented around 6,500 homes in the past year – a fifth of the country's new builds. Construction Analyst Mike Blackburn told Francesca Rudkin that it largely down to comparative house price values. He says people can buy a brand new home in Selwyn or other parts of Canterbury for substantially less than Auckland and Wellington equivalents.
