So what is actually best for New Zealand and the economy?

Nichole Lewis: Making housing affordable without ruining the economy

Not even two years ago, we were comparing our rent increases to those of places like Singapore and New York City. But today, many parts of the country are seeing rents tumble. 

So what does it mean for 2026? Should tenants be making their move to secure a place? Or is it the landlords who should be locking in reliable tenants before things start to change again? 

And from this month, pets are officially allowed in rentals. 

A landlord can't turn down a tenant solely for bringing a pet with them - but that along with other notes on your application can make a landlord hesitant.

For as long as most of us will be able to remember, the Kiwi dream has meant a 3 or 4 bed home with a deck out the back and just enough grass to need a mower. 

It's represented putting down roots and starting a family with a sense of security in owning your own place. 

But after years now of rising house prices and interest rates going up and down quite rapidly, I've been wondering whether our property obsession has changed - and whether it's a temporary change or a permanent one.

It's one of the most important decisions a homeowner will make when putting their property on the market - choosing the your method of sale.

You've got auctions, asking price, price by negotiation, and my least favourite - tender - but which method is the most attractive to buyers? And which gives sellers the best chance of getting the highest possible price?
