Why NZ's Cheapest Towns Are Getting Less Affordable

From The Property Academy Podcast Opes Partners

House prices are down. Interest rates are down. So housing must be affordable again, right?

Not everywhere... and the picture is more surprising than you'd think.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew compare every district against its long-term average to see where affordability is improving and where it's slipping away.

You'll learn:

  • Whether housing is actually more affordable than usual right now
  • The places getting better fastest, and the ones slipping away
  • Why "more affordable" doesn't always mean "affordable"

Affordability isn't just a snapshot. It can be a signal of where prices could go next.
