A Balanced Property Market?

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

Despite lingering challenges such as the cost of living, many believe that the downward trend of interest rates will lead to a gradual recovery as we move into 2025."

Falling interest rates are tempered by uncertain employment conditions and housing inventory at levels 2014 levels (graph below), suggesting the market may be returning to a more balanced position.

At adviceHQ , we’re seeing more activity through mortgage applications, which are often a leading indicator of market trends. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding your position now can open up future opportunities.

Whether driven by cultural values, financial considerations, or the desire for closer family connections, this way of living is becoming increasingly popular.

Recently, adviceHQ was featured in a Trade Me article by Gill South highlighting the financial and practical benefits of multigenerational living. As more families face the rising cost of living, pooling resources can provide access to larger, more desirable homes while ensuring security for each generation.

adviceHQ specialise in helping families navigate the complexities of financing such arrangements, ensuring that both long-term goals and immediate needs are met.

If your family is considering multigenerational living, reach out to see how we can help you structure your finances and plan for the future.

The NZ economy remains finely balanced, with the delayed effects of the recession still unfolding. Meanwhile, regulators are beginning to respond to these conditions. Today, the US Federal Reserve provided firm direction by cutting rates by 0.5%. Will the RBNZ follow suit and provide similar relief?

If you're concerned about how this may impact your financial position, adviceHQ provides independent financial advice on mortgages, insurance, KiwiSaver, and business/commercial lending. Feel free to reach out to Ben Presling, Michael Williams, or myself to review your current strategy and explore future options.

Markets have spoken! The 2yr swap rate (bank wholesale funding rate) has dropped to Sep 2022 levels (4.19%), down 1.6% from the peak on 4 Oct 2023 (5.79%).

The latest inflation and unemployment statistics have left the door wide open for OCR cut/s. The only unknown variable is the RBNZ itself, the organization tasked with "protecting and promoting the stability of New Zealand’s financial system."

Credit Conditions Ease: What It Means for You

Earlier this month, we shared updates on legal and regulatory changes in the property and finance industry, including DTI, LVR, CCCFA, interest deductibility, and Brightline rules. These changes are now being reflected in bank credit criteria and lending policies.
Additionally, we've seen a significant shift in interest rates.

Wholesale interest rates, which influence retail mortgage rates, have dropped by 1%, bringing the 2yr swap rate back to levels last seen in September 2022. Banks have reduced their mortgage rates, and there may be more cuts on the horizon. One bank has lowered its income testing rate by 0.25%, potentially leading others to follow suit.

So, what does this mean for borrowers? Loan affordability has improved, and the barriers to borrowing have decreased. βœ…

And for the property market? Traditionally, falling interest rates and easing credit conditions stimulate more market activity. However, only time will tell how this trend will unfold. βœ…
