Poll: What do you reckon, should first home buyers get in now?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

First home buyers have until Christmas to get the best deals in the market, real estate agents warn.

As official cash rates both in NZ and the US start to fall, agents in Waikato are urging first home buyers to take advantage of a window of opportunity before lower lending rates draw investors back in numbers.

What do you reckon, should first home buyers get in now? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Three of the country’s gambling trusts have launched an online casino and sports betting website targeted at Kiwi punters - a move which has stunned anti-gambling advocates.

The New Zealand Community Trust, The Lion Foundation and Aotearoa Gaming Trust have formed an online casino joint venture they say will “protect and grow the essential community funding they provide nationwide in New Zealand”.
