t Auckland’s housing problem remains ac* ute (says the Herald). The demand for houses is as keen as ever, but there is reported to be a falling-off in the number of sales, one reason being that the incre--e in prices has made it impossible for many people who formerly would have been buyers to consider purchase now. Another reason is that much higher sums are now generally required as deposits, and another possible cause is that rents having increased considerably some owners have not the same inclination to sell. It is not suggested of course, that many sales are not taking place. The normal rate is being far exceeded, and a fairly lively "general poet” is therefore proceeding.
