I joined Frances Cook on Making Cents to talk about what a buyer's market actually means for investors, what to do about it, and why waiting for the election cycle to play out may be too late. The episode is out now.

Making Cents was named Best Business and Finance Podcast at the 2026 NZ Radio and Podcast Awards.
In the episode
Frances opened with the question everyone is asking. Worst downturn in 30 years, or the opportunity you have been waiting for? My answer: market freezes are exactly when seasoned investors make their move, but only if they know what they are doing.
Key things covered
- Why a buyer's market rewards the prepared, not the brave
- The "Sunday hangover" effect, and planning your way out of negative cash flow
- The hidden risk in identical new builds
- The three structural red flags I check before I buy anything
- DIY sweat equity versus a trusted trade team
- What elections really do to house prices
If you take one thing from it, let it be this: the market does not decide your outcome, your strategy does.
Thank you, Frances
