I believe something like a million kiwis live abroad. It strikes me that one mechanism is:

- Kiwis live and work abroad, sometimes earning much more than they would in NZ.

- Those kiwis buy houses.

And with the pandemic:

- More of those kiwis have decided to buy houses in NZ, because it has been very successful at keeping covid and restrictions minimal so far.

For context, New Zealand has 4.9 million people (almost exactly one half that of Los Angeles County). Imagine 60 million Americans living abroad, rather than the actual about 9 million.
