🎉 Four years in a row!

We’re pretty proud to share that our very own Jason Longo has once again been named one of New Zealand’s Top Mortgage Advisers for 2026 by NZ Adviser — making it four years running. 🏡👏

While Jase’s name might be on the list, he’ll be the first to tell you this recognition belongs to a much bigger team.

It’s a reflection of the incredible people behind Buddy who work hard every day to get great outcomes for our clients, solve the tricky stuff and make the whole process that little bit easier.

And most importantly, thank you to our clients. 💚

So much of Buddy has been built through repeat clients, referrals and people trusting us to help their friends and family. We never take that trust for granted, and we simply wouldn’t be here without you.

Four years on the list is something we’re incredibly proud of — but helping more everyday Kiwis put their best financial foot forward is still what matters most.

Well done Jase, and well done Team Buddy! 🙌

How much could you actually borrow right now? 🏠

It might be more — or less — than you think.

Banks look at much more than your salary when assessing a mortgage application. Things like credit card limits, existing debt, everyday expenses and your deposit can all make a difference.

And importantly, not every bank assesses you the same way.

If buying a home is on your radar in the next 6–12 months, it's worth knowing where you stand before you find the perfect property.

We've explained what banks are looking at in our latest blog 👇

Is now a good time to move to a bigger home? 🏠

For many homeowners, upgrading has felt out of reach over the past few years. But interestingly, the numbers are beginning to swing back in favour of people looking to "trade up".

While property prices haven't been moving dramatically, larger family homes in some areas haven't increased in value as quickly as they once did. That means the gap between selling your current home and buying your next one has narrowed in many parts of New Zealand.

If you've been putting off moving because you thought it would cost too much, now could be worth another look.

With plenty of listings available, buyers generally have more choice and more room to negotiate than we've seen in several years. That creates opportunities for homeowners who can buy and sell in the same market.

Before you click “accept” on your bank’s refix offer… read this first 👀

Most banks won’t automatically offer existing customers their sharpest rate, or any retention cash. 💸

If your mortgage is expiring in 2026, now’s the time to understand your options — whether that’s fixing, floating, splitting your loan, or even switching banks.

Our latest blog breaks it down in plain English.

Coming off a fixed rate soon?

Don’t just accept whatever your bank offers.

This is one of the best times to:
• Renegotiate your rate or refinance with another lender for cashback
• Change your loan structure
• Set yourself up better for the next 1–3 years

A quick review now could save you thousands.

If your fixed rate is ending in the next 3–6 months, reach out now to make the most of your options ➡️ www.buddymortgages.co.nz/contact

Small changes can take a lot of pressure off.

If things are feeling tight, it’s worth having a chat. There are usually more options than you think. Talk to an expert ➡️ www.buddymortgages.co.nz/contact
