For as long as most of us will be able to remember, the Kiwi dream has meant a 3 or 4 bed home with a deck out the back and just enough grass to need a mower.  It's represented putting down roots and starting a family with a sense of security in owning your own place.  But after years now of rising house prices and interest rates going up and down quite rapidly, I've been wondering wheth...

It's one of the most important decisions a homeowner will make when putting their property on the market - choosing the your method of sale.

Most prospective buyers know how much they can borrow, but how much should you borrow?  Banks will often be happy to lend buyers an eye-watering amount of money, right at the top of what they can afford, but that doesn't mean buyers will be happy once those repayments kick in.  Not mention five years down the line, when interest rates aren't as low as they once were, and wages...

After yet another OCR cut, economists and mortgage holders alike are holding their breath for December - the last announcement of the year.  A new report from Infometrics suggests the Reserve Bank may be taking the cuts too far, and risking an overstimulated economy.  Most forecasts have predicted more cuts coming, but it's possible that Dr Anna Breman may have a different way of handlin...

A few weeks ago, a developer pre-sold most of its eight planned heritage-style weatherboard townhouses in two Auckland projects.

House prices have been flat or are falling, it's hard to miss.  Many owners are trying to quickly sell up - whether it be to fund their retirement, or simply because the rental market just isn't as profitable as it used to be.  Analysts reckon this will mean a lot of younger people finally getting the opportunity to get on the property ladder. But there's one thing keeping a lot of poten...
