How understanding property cycles can help your property decisions

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Buying low and selling high is the dream, but it's not always easy to predict property cycles and therefore difficult to “time the market". 🏡

The real key is the time you spend in the market. By understanding the phases—whether it's a slump, stagnation, or upswing—you can make more informed decisions. That said, there are certain advantages to buying during the slump and stagnation phases.

One major benefit of purchasing property during a downturn is that it often allows for more time and strategic decision-making.

On the other hand, buying during the later stages of an upswing can sometimes lead to irrational choices driven by the fear of missing out.

Always do your due diligence and stay within your budget!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
