Aspire Property Management's Mike Atkinson discusses tough times for landlords, calling it the worst market in 50 years. For years the story was rental shortage, rising rents, desperate tenants, but now we’ve got softer rents in some main centres, more townhouses and apartments, and tenants needing affordability. So, the question arises, is it a renter's market, and if so, how long will it last? And what is the golden number for what percent of your income you should spend on housing?

Rates are going up again, more than 7% in Auckland, buyers are cautious, the OCR will not be dropping anytime soon, and the market remains soft. In such a volatile market, those selling a home need to be careful that their property has value, and any changes actually add value if they have any hopes of real estate success. Interior designer Kelly Gammie joined Tim Beveridge to reveal which renovations add value, and which details age a home. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Staging homes has been a popular way to market your property for years. It's not your home as you have lived in it God Forbid but it gives potential buyers an idea of what their future home could look like if it were intentionally designed and hardly lived in. We know our home likely won't look a whole lot like that once we move ourselves in - but there's a rising trend of digitally altered property photos that are harder to see through. What was once just higher contrast and saturation, or greener grass, could be a slippery slope to changes that would cost an arm and a leg to make a reality. Overseas, a few agents have even gone as far as knocking out a wall or installing a deck digitally to show the potential of a property that may not have a lot to offer otherwise.

We've all heard the age-old advice you should buy the worst house on the best street - but is that still the case? The divide between what's considered a 'good' or 'bad' street seems to be less obvious than what it once was, and the cost of building or renovating has skyrocketed in recent years. It's just not as easy these days to throw a little bit of cash and a few weekends of hard work at a run down house to bring it up to the level of neighbours.

Buyer's agents. They're projected to grow in popularity in the coming years, so what are they and who really needs one? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So you want a loan to buy a property. The bank sifts through all the money that's gone in and out of your accounts going back an uncomfortable amount of time, and give you a number they're willing to lend you. You think to yourself, the process is so long and gruelling, and they require so much of your usually private documents, that surely you can afford to meet those repayments - right? Wrong.

The tide has well and truly turned. We've had analysts forecasting a plateau for much of this year, with rates starting to turn upwards near the end of the year. One thing is for sure - we're not too likely to see the OCR go any lower than where it already stands. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Have you ever walked into a home and thought - there was so much potential and it's all been lost. A room with limited natural light, painted in dark shades and made to look smaller than it is. A poorly shaped couch that throws off the whole room. Or one that we see all too often - old, outdated lighting that can make a gorgeous home immediately look neglected.

For a long time, the kiwi dream has been to do whatever it takes to get onto the property ladder and work your way up from there, but some investors are moving away from that advice - instead suggesting that it might be a better idea to rent and put your money elsewhere. It's not just the cost of the property and the mortgage repayments. You're paying to maintain the property in a way you wouldn't be if it were a rental, you're covering rates, insurance, and all the other little costs that add up pretty quickly. That's money that some investors argue could be spent on investments, or on a rental of your own that would at least bring some return.
