What are first home buyers up to?

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!

This week it's (mostly) all about first home buyers. There's plenty of reason for that - firstly we released our 6-monthly first home buyer report, revealing what they're buying, where they're buying and how much they're paying for it as well as a little bit of insight into how they're doing it. 

First home buyers were also the topic of Nick's appearance on the Newstalk ZB Weekend Collective show, with host Franceska Rudkin. 

Plus, a new report from new financial series provider Aera added another layer of depth to the 'time-to-deposit' affordability measure for first home buyers, by including forecasted figures of income, house prices and interest rates. Though as Nick and Kelvin discuss all forecasts require caveats and this one is no different.

As mentioned at the end of the episode we have 20 tickets (each worth $50) to NZ Property Market podcast listeners to join Nick at the upcoming NZ Property Roundtable: Will we see a post-election property market rally? Tomorrow, Tuesday, 14th November, at the Parnell Jubilee Hall, Auckland, hosted by the Auckland Property Investors Association.
