How Foreign Buyers Shape the Property Market.

This week, we unpack how foreign buyers actually shape the property market, beyond the headlines, the outrage, and the “blame the billionaire” energy. We dig into why wealthy people snap up homes across the world, what that does to local affordability, and why foreign buyers are such an easy political target. Along the way, we compare the dream portfolios we’d build (yes, there are city penthouses and secluded hideaways), break down how leverage helps everyday buyers grow wealth, and take a fun peek at the property empires of Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna… We’re proud to be partnering with BNZ, whose Home Loan Partners understand that no two journeys to home ownership are the same.
