What Happens to House Prices When Interest Rates Rise?⎟Ep. 2465

Description
Interest rates fall. House prices rise. At least, that’s what everyone says.
But if that’s true, why have New Zealand house prices barely moved after the OCR fell from 5.5% to 2.25%?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew unpack the relationship between interest rates and property prices... and explain why the market hasn't behaved the way many expected.
You’ll learn:
- How much do house prices go up when interest rates go down
- How interest rates impact how much the bank will let you borrow
- Why have interest rates fell 3% recently, yet house prices have barely moved
And here's the catch: lower interest rates help, but they're only one piece of the puzzle.
