CoreLogic NZ's May Housing Chart Pack revealed insights into property purchases by different buyer types.
In April, the share of Movers increased to 27% from 26% in Q1 2024.
First-home buyers remain a strong presence in the market, holding a 25% share of purchases. They are benefiting from lower house prices compared to the peak, facing less competition from other buyer groups, and receiving support such as KiwiSaver and access to low-deposit home loans.

The big home loan shake-up on July 1 - whoβll come out on top? The five things you need to know about the housing market this week.
Whatβs the BEST mortgage product?
The word BEST is subjective when it comes to financial products because not every product will meet the needs or be most suitable for everyone. When reviewing your mortgage or taking out a new mortgage, the BEST person to have on your side is a Mortgage Adviser.
Itβs important to have products that best suit your vision, future plans, whether youβll move, whether youβll want to borrow more against a property or maybe even want to pay a lump sum off of your mortgage. In addition to this thereβs factors such as LVR (deposit/equity) and affordability that need to be taken into consideration.
The loan structure of a mortgage is also extremely important, and individual considerations will be based on the above factors too. Whether you fix or have your mortgage on a floating structure is dependent on several factors:
β’ Your risk appetite
β’ Whether you want to sell your property in the short term
β’ Whether utilising an offset or revolving credit facility is best for you
β’ Interest only or principle and interest repayments (this can be dependent on affordability or, whether you have an owner-occupied or investment property)
Essentially, it is proven that using a Mortgage Adviser makes you better off because they consider your personal situation, future plans and can advise accordingly! Let's chat!!

What does Trauma Insurance cover?
Trauma Cover products pay out a sum of money if you are diagnosed with or suffer from one of the large numbers of listed serious health conditions.
These conditions include Cancer, Heart Attack, Stroke and many more.
Trauma Cover products are often used as a βrecovery fundβ providing you with the money to pursue treatment options or to cover any additional costs needed to get back on your feet after a serious illness or injury.
Speak to Ruan today about Trauma cover....

One of the key benefits of KiwiSaver is that youβre not the only one contributing to your retirement savings. If youβre employed, your employer must also contribute at least 3% to your KiwiSaver account.
Every year, you also can get up to an extra $521.43 in your balance. This is called the annual Government contribution. To get the maximum contribution of $521.43, youβll need to put in at least $1,042.86 over the KiwiSaver year via employee or voluntary contributions.
There are lots of KiwiSaver schemes, and you can only invest in one. We work with a KiwiSaver provider that has several attributes that attract discerning investors.
