Prices eased 7.4% over the year — strong +104% over the longer run. (thin market — too few sales to be reliable)
Soft rental market — higher vacancy, so weigh the income side carefully.
Approvals are outpacing demand — incoming supply can cap price and rent growth.
Population growth is the clearest leading indicator of housing demand. Rye grew +16% between 2015 and 2025, and is projected +9% more by 2036.
