    A report is suggesting 80 per cent of New Zealanders believe home ownership is impossible

    A report is suggesting 80 per cent of New Zealanders believe home ownership is impossible


    Post-Covid, property prices surged to an all-time high.

    Data from a 500 strong survey for insurers OneChoice, shows four in five house hunters feel they are locked out of the property market.

    The typical Kiwi home now costs eight times the annual household income.

    It reveals young people now see themselves as a generation of renters, rather than owners.
