In this episode, we discuss the end game in property investment and house price growth. This includes playing clips from Jacinda Ardern's 7th December press conference, and several clips from the leader's debates.
We also talk about the rise in household income growth, which has been solidly above 4% for the last 12 years in New Zealand. This includes a massive 7%+ increase in incomes during 2018. This suggests that even if house price growth falls to the rate of income growth, house price inflation could be solid into the future.

In this episode, we discuss the four main sales processes in New Zealand and when each one of them should be used. These include 'price by negotiation', tenders, auctions, and 'deadline sales'.
We conclude that the right process for you is going to be based on both the type of property you have and where your local property market is within its cycle. That's because some processes are geared towards markets that have more competition and others are better when there are less people looking for properties at the time you sell your house.
This is part of a two-part series. In the next episode (episode #495) we'll discuss how to be successful in each of these as a buyer of property, rather than as a seller.
