Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

Aye, neoliberalism: the only difference between the haves and have-nots is the inability of the have-nots to work as hard and make the right choices of the haves.

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

But investors will still be able to just shift capital (made on rising property prices) from one property to become a deposit for the next. Sure, this will slow down the investors who are new to...

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

Back on topic:

I was pretty appalled to hear on the radio just how tentative the reserve bank is being about putting the brakes on property speculation. It seems that making it harder to buy...

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

I think you win the prize for the most long-winded attempt at a covert "we bought a flash house" brag on the forum! Congratulations on the house and the brag :rofl: :thumbup:

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

I must say, I am surprised you didn't know this before arriving as variants of "Auckland home sells for X times CV", and "House prices in Auckland rise 500% in two days", and "Look what you could buy...

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

I agree that I think the amendments to the scheme are just pre-election crapola-spin. :thumbdown:

Re: 20% deposit needed to buy a house from oct

But most folk on here agree a 'living conversion' of about 2.5-3:1, not 2:1 as you suggest. What you get when you bring money over from the UK is pretty meaningless when it comes to actually...
