Abstract

Between 2002 and 2005, house prices in Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough rose sharply; rents also rose, but to a lesser degree. This paper considers how these price and rent rises are a response to imbalances within the housing markets in these regions. We also analyse the role of other adjustment mechanisms in correcting these imbalances.
