What it isBuilding consents count the number of new dwellings authorised each month in New Zealand. Published by Stats NZ, they are a leading indicator of future residential construction activity and housing supply.
How it's calculatedStats NZ collects the consents granted by territorial authorities and publishes the number of new dwellings, in both raw and seasonally adjusted form, at national and regional level.
Market implicationsA rise in consents points to stronger residential investment and construction jobs ahead; a sustained fall signals a cooling housing sector and softer domestic demand, which the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) monitors.
LimitationsA consent does not guarantee the work will start or finish. The monthly series is very volatile because large apartment projects are consented in bulk, which can distort a single month.
