most first home buyers underestimate how close they are

it’s not about being perfect
it’s about knowing your options

low deposit solutions
smart structuring

it all adds up

there is hope ✨

Did you know you could use your KiwiSaver funds to buy a home, even if you’ve owned one before?

To use your KiwiSaver to purchase another property, you need to be in the same financial position as a first homebuyer and have Kāinga Ora determine if you qualify.

The criteria includes:
• Being a KiwiSaver member for at least three years
•Not having previously withdrawn from KiwiSaver to buy property
• No longer owning any interest or share in the previously owned property
• Not having realisable assets worth more than 20% of the house price cap

Did you hear?!

First‑home buyers are currently holding their strongest position in New Zealand’s housing market in around 20 years, accounting for roughly 27% of all purchases nationwide.

According to Cotality NZ, this shift is being driven by softer house prices, access to KiwiSaver and fewer owner‑occupiers upgrading or moving; creating a real window of opportunity for first‑home buyers right now.

So, it’s not all doom and gloom after all!😊
