"Is Politics About To Ruin My First Home Buying Plans?" - Mailbag Episode
Description
Is politics about to derail your house buying plans?
With an election looming, talk of capital gains taxes, housing policy changes, and the possibility of government interference is everywhere. And if you’re trying to buy your first home, it’s enough to make you wonder… should you rush in, or wait it out?
In this episode of Ask the Experts, Frances Cook is joined by Vanessa Williams from http://realestate.co.nz to cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters.
We’re talking:
- what election years have historically meant for the property market
- why uncertainty can stall buyers (and when that can backfire),
- what’s really happening in the property market right now, from supply levels to buyer behaviour
- and what political announcements you should keep an eye on, because they could truly move the market.
Plus, the key policy changes worth paying attention to (and the ones that are mostly just headlines), including KiwiSaver rules, lending restrictions, and what a capital gains tax could realistically mean.
