Leverage Addicts

The tide is turning. Interest rates are dropping. Confidence is rising. Buyers are back.

But here’s the brutal truth: does any of that actually make housing more affordable for you?

In this episode, we bring on Kelly Eckhold, Chief Economist at Westpac NZ and one of the sharpest minds in the game, to unpack The NZ Housing Reset — a moment economists, property investors, and first-home buyers have been waiting for. But is it a lifeline… or a head-fake?

This isn’t just another update. It’s a full-system breakdown of the new era we’re walking into — and a hard look at whether buyers are being baited into a price trap masked by low rates and false optimism.

If you’re planning to buy, sell, refinance or invest in the next 12 months — this episode is not optional.
