Listen "NZ Property Market Crash: What Does It Mean For Australia?"
Episode Synopsis
Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community Headlines say New Zealand’s housing market has “crashed.” Prices are down from their 2021 peak, and the story is making waves across the Tasman. But does it really signal danger for Australian property investors... or is there more to the story? This week, we’re unpacking the reality behind the headlines, and what it means for Australia’s property outlook. Here’s what we'll cover:* The truth about NZ’s “crash”—where values fell, and where they’ve actually hit new highs.* Why big centres like Auckland and Wellington slumped, while lifestyle and regional markets surged.* Why Australia’s market has continued to climb despite higher interest rates.* Whether Kiwi migration and “capital flight” are influencing Australian property prices.* The key lessons for Australian investors — and why the fundamentals always win. If you want clarity on what’s really happening across the Tasman, and what it means for your investing playbook in Australia, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
