Tony Alexander Survey Report September 2021

Key points of interest from this month’s survey

• Investors are showing slightly less inclination to buy again and marginally more inclination to sell.
• There is a slight easing trend in the average rent increase desired by investors.
• Investors perceive a slight toughening instance from their banks.
• Fewer investors are citing tax changes as a factor behind any decision to sell; overall, the effect of the tax changes appears to be fading.
• There is no discernable change in sentiment arising from Auckland’s latest lockdown (despite over 50% of the responses being from that region), which is in itself notable.
