It’s just the third time a state of emergency has been declared across the nation

New Zealand’s government has declared a national state of emergency for just the third time in its history.

It follows Cyclone Gabrielle causing widespread flooding, landslides and huge ocean swells, forcing evacuations and even stranding people on their roof tops.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins thanked rescue workers who have been working around the clock.

“It has been a big night for New Zealanders across the country, but particularly in the upper North Island … a lot of families displaced, a lot of homes without power, extensive damage done across the country,” Prime Minister Chris Hipkins told reporters after the declaration.

Gabrielle is 100 km east of Auckland, near the east coast of the country’s North Island and is expected to move east-southeast, roughly parallel to the coast. #trending #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
