In a week when Stats NZ published data showing that Hamilton’s population growth is outstripping that of local rival Tauranga, the latest rental market data for Hamilton further emphasises just how tricky it is to find a rental in the city of the future.
The data below is for 3+ bedroom houses in NZ’s 4th largest city and by any measure the market is very tight indeed.
Those searching for a home, to rent or buy, will be paying close attention to Housing Minister Chris Bishop’s promise of a ‘comprehensive plan to solve NZ’s housing crisis’ due in March.
