Borrowing power is one of those numbers a lot of people think they know, but haven't actually checked recently.

It shifts with your income, living expenses, existing debts, and interest rates. With rates sitting higher than they were a couple of years ago, your borrowing capacity might look quite different today compared to what you expected.

Getting a clear picture of your actual baseline numbers is simply step one before you start looking at properties or making big financial plans.

Feel free to send a direct message if you ever want to check where your baseline sits in today's market.

Properties are sitting on the market longer right now — REINZ’s latest figures show it’s taking about 50 days to sell on average, up from a year ago.
That shift matters more than most buyers realise. It’s not just about price. A vendor who’s had a property listed for weeks is often more open to things buyers don’t usually ask for — a longer settlement, a lower deposit condition, or room to negotiate on chattels and price together rather than separately.
If you’re making an offer in this market, it’s worth going in knowing what’s actually negotiable, not just what the asking price is.
Making an offer soon? Let’s talk through your approach before you put pen to paper. 👇

Thinking you need two incomes to buy a home? Not necessarily. 🏡
Buying a home on your own can feel like a big financial step, but being a solo buyer doesn’t mean home ownership is out of reach.
The key is understanding your borrowing power, deposit position, expenses and what lenders are looking for before you start house hunting.
There are also strategies that may help make your first home more achievable — from choosing the right property and location to understanding how your income and financial position are assessed.
If buying on your own is part of your plan, getting the right strategy in place early can make all the difference.
👉 Read our latest blog: A Guide for Solo Buyers to explore the key things to consider before making your move.

When the property market slows down, most homeowners naturally focus on what their current home might sell for. However, if you are looking to step up to a larger property, the actual price gap between the two homes is what matters most.

Recent data from Cotality shows that the cost of moving from a three bedroom to a four bedroom house has narrowed in several key areas across New Zealand.

Because higher value homes often adjust more in dollar terms during quieter periods, the gap you need to bridge to get extra space can actually be smaller than it was a few years ago.

If upgrading your home is part of your long term plan, quieter market conditions can sometimes open up opportunities that do not exist in a fast moving market.

Serviceability is simply the bank testing your home loan against a higher test rate. They aren’t just looking at whether you can afford the repayments today, they are checking that you will still be comfortably paying it off if interest rates shift down the track.

It can feel like a tough hurdle when you are applying for a home loan, but it is really just designed to protect you and make sure your mortgage remains manageable long-term.
