About this episode
Welcome to Ask the Experts, where each week we talk to industry insiders to get the inside word on what’s happening in the market, and what that means for the tactics that you should use to make the most of your money.
Here’s a wild stat to kick things off: almost one in three New Zealanders have accidentally bought a house.
Not just wealthy investors, we're talking first-home buyers too.
So how on earth does that happen? And what does it tell us about the current New Zealand housing market, property prices, and buying strategies?
For this episode I’m joined by Vanessa Williams from http://realestate.co.nz , who’s got the data to explain it all, and how you can be ready if an unexpected homeownership opportunity lands in your lap.
