In a Home Truths Report on the housing market Stephens said although the market was positive for now, it will soon slow.
"In our view the good times for the market are going to end very soon," he said.
"We are forecasting a small decline in house prices in the second half of 2018.
The report pointed to six factors that would likely cause a market slowdown:
- Foreign buyers will be banned from buying existing residential properties, probably by the middle of this year.
- Ring fencing tax losses on residential investment properties, which means investors won't be able to offset any tax losses from a property against other income.
- The Tax Working Group will probably recommend a Capital Gains Tax, although the family home will likely be exempted.
- Mortgage rates are more likely to rise than fall
- Net migration is expected to keep slowing while home construction will keep rising.
"This is a prodigious set of negative factors, but for a few reasons we are forecasting only a slight house price decline, rather than anything dramatic," the report said.

Not sure if anyone else is noticing this but I have seen 2 cars driving round and round our area, looking down driveways.
One is a black BMW and the other a red car. A neighbour of ours had something stolen from their garage, so have been a little more vigilant than usual. I work from home so this sort of activity is noticeably unusual and the cars are not cars usually seen in our area.
Is anyone else noticing anything like this?
Cheers neighbours
