Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think.Is the property market recovering, or is there a sting in the tail?In this week's Week in Review, Debbie Roberts tackles the contradictory headlines facing Kiwi property buyers. We are seeing a classic tug-of-war: mortgage rates are dropping and first-home buyers are active, but unemployment has hit a 10-year high of 5.4% and the RBNZ is demanding tighter risk rules from banks.Key Topics Covered:Property Values: Why the market dipped in January and the outlook for 2026.Inflation & Rates: How falling interest rates are finally easing the cost of living.Investor Retreat: Why "lazy" investors are selling up, and why that creates opportunity.Jobs Data: Understanding the decade-high unemployment rate and the surprise job growth numbers.Lending Rules: The RBNZ's new warning to banks—will it get harder to borrow money?
A property that ticks every box. A sunlit living room that opens onto a leafy backyard. A quiet street that's somehow still walking distance to the best cafés and the train station. For many Australians, that's the dream first home—the one that feels like it was made just for you.But here's the truth: relying on luck to find "the one" could be the reason you end up with a property that hamstrings your future.In this episode, Veronica and Meighan pull back the curtain on their own first property purchases. They get vulnerable about the cringeworthy "rookie mistakes" they made—from buying with emotional blinkers on to getting lucky in a rising market without having a real strategy. They explain why your first home is the foundation of your entire journey and why one misstep today can cost you a decade of progress tomorrow.You'll learn how to tell a "smart" buy from a "lucky" one (hint: luck isn't a strategy you can repeat), why generic advice from ChatGPT or well-meaning family can lead you down the garden path, and how to identify the opportunity cost of a bad first purchase.From the dangers of buying in the wrong market cycle to the power of the PACE mindset, this episode will give you the 20/20 hindsight we had to earn the hard way—and give you the clarity to move from a "hope and pray" buyer to a confident, strategic homeowner.Episode Highlights00:00 — Introduction: The Excitement and Pitfalls of Buying Your First Home01:56 — The Importance of Process and the PACE System04:30 — Exposing the Worst Advice First Buyers Get11:08 – Understanding Property Value and Pricing13:15 — Renovation Realities and Regrets15:55 — The Role of Real Estate Agents17:33 — Financing and Hidden Costs22:13 — Long-Term vs. Short-Term Planning25:40 — The Impact of Your First Property on Future Purchases27:56 — Conclusion: Luck is Not a StrategyCourse Details:THE First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process – It's the next best thing to having your own buyer's agent.

This week, Labor expanded Australia's first home guarantee to allow more buyers access to a mortgage with a reduced deposit of 5%. But the plan has many critics. Guardian Australia political editor, Tom McIlroy, speaks to the federal minister for housing and homelessness, Clare O'Neil, about why she thinks the government is pulling on the correct levers to address the housing crisis

The government's First Home Buyer Guarantee scheme will allow thousands more renters, who are struggling to save for the usual 20 per cent home deposit, the chance to enter the property market. But experts say the scheme, brought forward by three months to October, may not be as helpful as it initially sounds. They say it leaves those using the scheme financially vulnerable, and shuts out low-income earners. And for the next generation of first home buyers, it could make their journey to property ownership even harder. - Программа First Home Buyer Guarantee теперь позволит всем покупателям первого жилья приобрести дом, имея всего 5 процентов первоначального взноса, а для родителей-одиночек — всего 2 процента.

Everyone was banking on another interest rate cut this year – but what if it never comes? In this month' Big Picture Podcast, Ken Raiss and I will unpack why the economy is running hotter than expected, and what that means for rates, housing, and your mortgage. We also explain how the Bank of Mum and Dad is helping nearly 1 in 5 first-home buyers who get financial help from their parents and what this means for housing affordability. And we forecast how Australia's rental crisis is about to get worse as investors are leaving the market in record numbers at a time when the government has no way of achieving its big housing targets. Takeaways · The economy is running hotter than expected. · First home buyers are increasingly relying on parental support. · Government incentives are making it easier for first home buyers. · Investor sentiment is declining due to regulatory uncertainty. · The property market is expected to remain strong despite challenges. · Interest rates are a key factor in the housing market dynamics. · Strategic property investment is crucial for long-term success. · Times of uncertainty can create opportunities for informed investors.

A softer housing market is good news for first-home buyers, but not for everyone. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Starting 1 October, the federal government will expand the Home Loan Guarantee for first-time buyers in a bid to address Australia's rising housing market. The scheme will help more buyers enter the market, but could also drive up housing prices. In this podcast, we feature a financial expert, Niti Bhargava, who says that first homes don't have to be dream homes; they can be a stepping stone.
Parents and grandparents are increasingly offering financial assistance to family members with 20 per cent saying they provided help in the last quarter, so SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with UBS Economist Stephen Wu to find out to what extent they're helping. Plus Kyle Rodda from capital.com looks through the day's sharemarket action and previews the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.
A helping hand from the Bank of Mum and Dad can leave first-home buyers more than $1 million better off in retirement. RNZ and Simplicity economist Shamubeel Eaqub ran the numbers comparing the outlook for a young person whose parents could give them $100,000 to help buy a house, to that of someone who had to save their full deposit themselves. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

For a long time to buy a home in Australia you needed a 20 per cent deposit or you'd have to pay a big lender's mortgage insurance fee.It's asking a lot, given house prices in our major cities are around the million-dollar mark or more. This week, the government expanded a five per cent deposit scheme for first home buyers, with no income caps and more expensive homes now eligible. Today, finance expert Alan Kohler on how it works, what it means for house prices and why he's a huge fan of the scheme. Featured: Alan Kohler, ABC finance expert
