                                     The slowing in sales is not indicative of reduced demand. Population
                                    growth continues apace. Changes to immigration policy might reduce
                                    the number of students and lower-skilled workers, but will have little
                                  impact on the number of highly skilled immigrants. The reason for the
                                     slow down is less about base demand than pricing. A median house
                                 price to median income multiple of around 10, even with very low rates,
                                   only allows existing house owners to swap houses with other existing
                                house owners, and does little or nothing for the first home buyer. We do
                                 think the median house price will reduce eventually, but by building less
                                 expensive homes at scale, not by price reduction of existing properties.

                                How to increase that supply significantly when funding is tight, materials
                               and other costs of construction are high, and all the larger builders are at
                                capacity already, is the problem. New construction firms and techniques
                                  as well as new institutional private renters will be required, along with
                                            some imaginative thinking around policy, tenure and finance.
