Talk to us: NZ Mortgages
With the stress of the election behind us, for Kiwi families it is back to the hard task of managing the cost of living, and high interest rates.
As the new government takes the reins, we anticipate changes in the property investment landscape.
Property investors are likely to re-enter the market, and it is highly likely that they’ll be competing with first home buyers, particularly for properties valued below the 650k mark.
It is also important to highlight the recent closure of the Kainga Ora First Home Partnership due to overwhelming interest. This development underscores the increasing number of first home buyers, and the current stock in the market indicates that there’s plenty more demand to come.
However, it’s worth noting that Kainga Ora continues to support first-home ownership through the First Home Loan and First Home Grant programmes, providing viable methods for aspiring homeowners.
The cost of living is an ever-present concern for us all, and it’s important to note that while interest rates are relatively high now, we remain optimistic about the market’s stability as we transition from the vibrant spring season into the summer months.
