Waikato District, between Hamilton and Auckland, will need nearly 9,000 new houses by 2031, as up to 19,000 more people are projected to move there. TOM LEE/STUFF Waikato district Councillor Noel Smith asked whether the district was responding quick enough to growth (file photo.) Waikato University associate professor of economics Michael Cameron told Stuff there had been “rapid” growth in Waikato District in the last 10 years, which he expects to continue. But Waikato District Mayor Allan Sanson said the South of the district is in demand as well. Data from REINZ shows Waikato District's median price had risen to $648,000 in November 2020, compared to $585,000 in November 2019.
