Trends we are noticing are:

  • First home buyers are returning to the market
  • Motivated sellers are meeting the market

“Easing of loan-to-value restrictions, commentary around peak inflation and a renewed confidence is seeing more first home buyers seek out opportunities”

“As we head into the winter months, we are seeing glimpses of positivity, especially in the regions following the Reserve Bank’s announcement of easing loan-to-value restrictions and the stabilising of interest rates.” – Jen Baird (REINZ CEO)
