But now that we hear this, we're hearing some landlords saying, Well, you can't make any return out of actually renting out a property anymore. It's just ruining it all in here screaming and moaning and gnashing of teeth. So here it is. Careful what you wish for when so much of our economy rides on the shoulders of housing. The rent is going down. Your returns are going down. I'm sorry, but your children might be happy. And that's a good it's like everything. Everything's a good news, bad news story. Cheapest place to rent in New Zealand, the West Coast, one bedroom units start as low as 250 bucks to 300 a week, three bedrooms, four fifty. In the cities, Christchurch, by far the most affordable major city for renters, with average uh asking prices around 590 a week. This town currently has everything going for it. Sold out super rugby things, but getting quick because it can't last. Auckland remains pricey, but you can find cheap homes uh in suburbs like Ottawa, Grad Nui, Tua Cal, my family home, my fire family mess, that's where we came from. It's about 500 bucks a week. Uh then again, of course, you live in those places, you've got some evil commutes, and then there's poor old Wellington. Central rentals have seen a major correction. They've dropped over 9% year on year. It's plunging downwards. I jokingly said, when are they going to change the slogan of Wellington to absolutely negatively Wellington? Andrew Dickens. Now, before all the Wellington people decide to text me and say that's terrible. I would like to remind you I lived in Wellington for two years, and I love the place. You cannot beat Wellington on a good day when it is beautiful. But many other days these days haven't been quite as sunny and rosy as you might have wanted. All right, we've got the huddle coming up. Uh Morris Williamson. And Joe uh Josie Pigani, so they'll have a bit to say. I know what Josie wants to say about the Labour lists. He's she says it's populated with activists. What the hell are they playing at? She's not happy about it, and she's a lefty. So the huddle's coming on the drive show with Andrew Dickens, right here on Newstalks MB.
