Statistics NZ said a record number of consents were issued for 37,010 new houses in the year to November 2019, “the highest in a year since the mid-1970s. There were 37,919 new homes consented in the year ended September 1974.”

“Nationally, 13 per cent more new homes were consented in the November 2019 year compared with a year ago, reaching 14,866 in Auckland, 4176 in Waikato, and 5310 in Canterbury,” a statement said. The Wellington region consented 3036 new homes in the latest year, the highest annual number since over 4000 new homes were consented in the mid-1970s.
