Should the government increase incentives for first home buyers?

Yes, reduce first home deposits to 1-5% as well as ban non citizens or residents from purchasing investment properties. Create a limit on how many properties a person can own, do a government buy back of houses from those people that exceed the limit and then repurpose those houses in a rent-to-own scheme to stabilise the market.

Yes. we need to make apartments cheap here for starters. we need to bring down the deposit amount. we need to regulate the banks forthmost. We need to bring back the NZ govt housing corporation. First home buyers should be able to get a loan from the government and pay back whatever the natural inflation rate is, so the govt doesnt make money but it doesnt loose money. we need to look at singapore and how the rules around house building. the government could give tax incentives to build high quality and affordable apartment buildings. there is a lot that can be done but we dont have the political will here.

Yes reduce first home deposits to 5%, as long as there is ample time to pay off a mortgage over the period of their life e.g. 20-30's = 40 year mortgage, 40-50s = 25-35 year mortgage, 60s = 10-15 year mortgage

No, and this questions seems to be repeated. The govt should not get itself into further debt with a programme it will be unable to manage well.

No, build enough new decent houses so that there is less demand, and prices come down instead of throwing money all over the place

Yes but limit help to encourage first-home buyers to contribute to the economy by working and saving up

No, the fixation on home ownership is relatively modern. Instead more effort should go into stronger rights/protections for renters.
