An economist is calling for more social housing stock and better rentals to help ease housing pressure.

Real estate data shows the national average asking price was down on the previous month, but still up by 11.5 percent on last year.

Economist Shamubeel Eaqub told our Housing reporter Eva Corlett that the government's policies have had little effect on runaway house prices during its term.
