Are flat-pack houses the solution to the housing crisis? 
News that Bunnings Trade has sold more than 50 flat-pack homes in New Zealand in the last year, (two-bedroom 60sq m models selling from $69,000) went viral last week. 
The business is marketing its flat-pack homes under a brand it owns, Clever Living Co., advertised as "homes that move to you."
A Bunnings spokesperson at the chain's Melbourne headquarters said: "Locations where Clever Living Co. homes have been built are in Northland, Auckland, the Waikato, Taranaki, exported to Rarotonga, Palmerston North, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga, Wellington, Central Otago, central South Island, Otago."
So will this become a new trend? If so, just how viable are these properties? Property commentator Alistair Holm joined The Weekend Collective to discuss this and all the other property stories from the week.
