Demand Outlook 12 months

Outlook Comments

• Auckland housing market has seen softer pricing year to date with still some risk to prices for remainder of year

• Residential earnings for FY18 are expected to be similar to the prior year

• Strength in Auckland standalone housing margins will contrast weaker margins of section sales and Christchurch volumes

• Land Development earnings are expected to be lower than in FY17 due to fewer projects coming to market in H2 and risk around regulatory approvals for planned sales
