The property market right now? It’s a bit of a mixed bag… 🏘️

Some suburbs are still seeing growth, while others have pretty much hit pause so it really depends on where you’re looking.

• Prices nationally have been fairly flat over the past few months
• Some regions (like parts of the South Island) are still growing
• Others, including Auckland, are seeing slight declines
• High stock levels mean buyers have more choice right now

It’s less about a “hot” or “cold” market and more about what’s happening in your specific area.

If you’re wondering what this means for your next move, whether it’s buying, selling, or reviewing your mortgage, I'm always happy to chat 💬

📊 A lot happening in the world right now… but what does it actually mean for house prices? 🏡

• Interest rates aren’t moving much (for now)
• Rising fuel costs could still put pressure on everyday budgets
• The biggest impact right now is confidence, not prices
• Overall, the market is more in a “wait and see” phase

If you’re wondering how this affects your mortgage or plans, I'm always happy to chat and help you make sense of it 💬

Experts say a crash isn’t on the cards, but market confidence is taking a hit.
