SHOULD YOU GO DIRECT TO THE BANK OR WORK WITH AN ADVISER?

Here’s the truth 👇

Going directly to your bank might feel easy in terms of a quick starting point but here’s the catch — they can only offer their products, you do all the admin, and you deal with a new person every time.

As advisers, we work for you, not the bank.

That means:
• Access to multiple lenders, not just one
• Advice tailored to your situation and goals
• Help structuring your loan the right way (this can save you thousands over time)
• Someone to negotiate on your behalf

Think of it like this:
Going direct is like shopping at one store.
Working with an adviser is like having someone compare the whole market for you.
And the best part? In on our case, there’s no cost to you.

If you want clarity, options, and a strategy — having the right guide makes all the difference.

📩 DM us or get in touch to chat – we look forward to discussing your options.

2026 Housing Forecast: Boom, Bust, or Bounce Back?

2026 is shaping up as a steady year for New Zealand housing rather than a runaway boom or a painful new downturn.

Most forecasters are pointing to modest national house price growth in 2026, generally in the 2–5% range, with many clustering around 4–5%. Recent commentary from major banks suggests low‑single‑digit growth as the most likely outcome, with BNZ now projecting around 2.1% for 2026 after revising down an earlier 4.4% forecast. The Reserve Bank’s recent updates also point to a peak in annualised house price growth around the mid‑single digits by mid‑2026, consistent with a “slow and steady” recovery rather than a sharp upswing.

OCR Decision Analysis

On Wednesday, we had the first OCR decision under the leadership of Governor Breman, and as expected, the Reserve Bank left the OCR unchanged. But for markets and ourselves, the decision itself mattered less than the forecasts and the tone of the statement, because this was our first real chance to get some insight into how Governor Breman’s “laser focus” on inflation would actually work in practice.

📣 OCR UPDATE: HOLDING STEADY – What it means for you…

The Official Cash Rate (OCR) has been held at 2.25% in today’s announcement. After a series of cuts throughout 2025, the RBNZ is hitting the “pause” button to see how the economy responds as we move into 2026.

What does this mean for your back pocket?
🏠 Mortgage Holders: If you’re coming off a higher fixed rate soon, there is light at the end of the tunnel. While the “big drops” might be slowing down, we are in a much more stimulatory environment than this time last year.

🏡 First Home Buyers: Serviceability test rates have eased, meaning your borrowing power might be higher than you think.

Whether you should fix short, go long, or wait it out depends entirely on your unique situation. Don’t leave your strategy to guesswork; our team of expert financial advisers would love to assist. Get in touch for your free home loan review today.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has just announced a massive 50 basis point reduction in the Official Cash Rate (OCR).

The new OCR is now 2.5%.

What does this mean for you?

Mortgage Holders: Prepare for your debt armour to feel lighter! This cut is aimed at reducing your debt-servicing costs. If your fixed term is ending, or you’re on a floating rate, prepare to negotiate for some glorious new rates!

Investors & Businesses: The RBNZ is actively trying to boost consumption and investment by signalling lower rates for longer. It’s time to review those growth strategies and potential acquisitions!

The Outlook: The Committee remains “open to further reductions,” meaning the journey to lower rates may not be over.

Advice Knight’s Mandate: Don’t just enjoy the lower repayments—deploy your freed-up funds strategically. Increase your principal payment or fortify your emergency savings chest. Every basis point saved is a step toward financial freedom.
