đŸ”„ The Price Pressure Playbook: Why NZ Property Is Heating Up While the Economy Cools đŸ”„
⚠ NZ’s Economy Is Cooling. But House Prices Are Heating Up. What the Hell Is Going On?

While economists are waving red flags and forecasting doom, something strange is happening beneath the surface: New Zealand’s property market is firing up again—even as the broader economy flatlines.

This isn’t a recovery. It’s a pressure cooker.

In this episode, we hand you the exact playbook behind the paradox—why prices are rising while everything else is going backwards, and what it means for buyers, sellers, and investors RIGHT NOW.

🚹 What You’ll Learn Inside This Episode:
The Real Reason Prices Are Rising—hint: it’s not what the headlines say

Why Kiwis are still bidding aggressively while their wallets are getting tighter

How an inventory chokehold is quietly fuelling a pricing war

The psychology of a “soft crash” that’s turning into a surprise rebound

Why mainstream economists are 3 months behind what’s actually happening

💣 This Is the Market’s Dirty Little Secret:
We’re not in a healthy boom.
We’re in a compressed supply trap.

Rates are still high. Buyers are stressed. But listings are down. Construction’s frozen. And the fear of missing out is slowly creeping back. That’s why prices are climbing—under pressure.

This isn’t a boom you can celebrate.
It’s a heatwave in the middle of a recession.
It’s the kind of setup that catches smart people off guard.

🧭 Stay Till the End:

You’ll walk away knowing which suburbs are set to surge and what to avoid.
No fluff. No guessing. Just data, psychology, and a hard truth:

"This market rewards the prepared. Not the panicked."
