Episode 196 - Our 2026 Predictions

Making a property move in 2026? Stop guessing and get the real talk. Aaron and Diego cut through the hype and corporate spin to give straight-up market predictions for New Zealand property. No fluff, no wishful thinking — just insider insight so you can make smarter decisions. Everyone’s talking predictions, but we put numbers on the table: Aaron calls 3% growth, Diego goes 3.5%, and we explain why that’s realistic given record listings, interest rate moves, and global uncertainty. If you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, this episode shows why waiting for the “perfect moment” usually costs you, and why smart decisions beat predictions every time.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction: Property Decisions in 202600:17 – Market Predictions for the Year00:49 – Discussion on Market Trends01:32 – Personal Predictions and Analysis02:49 – Interest Rates and Market Dynamics03:27 – Final Thoughts and Predictions03:56 – Conclusion and Next Steps
