"However, on a national level we still estimate that supply of ~225,000 is running ahead of demand (~185,000)."

This excess of supply is needed to bring prices back to realistic levels where borrowing can be achieved. An increase of interest rates or economy downturn may make property speculation unattractive. I read somewhere 40% of recent property investors would sell if the value of their investment went south. A flood of for sale properties clashing with oversupply in the next several years could offer opportunities.

Could result in a cascading effect. It's happened before. Panic herd mentality from investors and some home occupiers.
