Investors asked for their views

The ANZ Property Investment Survey opens today. It is run in conjuction with the NZ Property Investors Federation.

ANZ general manager specialist distribution Craig Moffat said it would be interesting to see whether investors thought Auckland and Christchurch house price rises were sustainable.

"Demand continues to outstrip supply in these two markets but prices are already stretched relative to income metrics and rents."

He said whether investors would alter their strategies in response to LVR restrictions would also be interesting.

Last year's survey showed investors were upbeat about market prospects but were taking a long-term view.

The survey is available here.
