In this month's TMM, I delve into how AI is reshaping the mortgage landscape. While AI-powered advice certainly has a role to play in the future, the intricate nature of million-dollar property transactions, each with unique client circumstances, underscores the enduring importance of independent financial advisors.
Much like the distinction between active and passive investment management, adviceHQ recognises the nuances that set personalised advisory services apart.

Coalition Government Delays Interest Deductability Phase-In

David from adviceHQ

The Government has announced that interest deductibility on residential investment properties will be phased back in starting from April 2024. This means that affected taxpayers will now be able to claim 80% of their interest expenses from April 2024, with the deduction set to return to 100% from … View moreThe Government has announced that interest deductibility on residential investment properties will be phased back in starting from April 2024. This means that affected taxpayers will now be able to claim 80% of their interest expenses from April 2024, with the deduction set to return to 100% from April 2025.
This decision backtracks on the coalition agreement, which initially proposed 60% deductibility from April 2023.
Associate Finance Minister David Seymour stated, “Landlords have been hit hard by rising mortgage interest rates and increasing interest deductibility limitations, especially during these times of economic strain. These costs often get transferred to tenants, contributing to the soaring rental prices in New Zealand.”

In light of this policy shift, should we be wondering if the Brightline changes will be "amended"?
It is worth noting that changes to banks' servicing tests are expected, which could have a significant impact on property investment financing.

Interest Rates: RBNZ OCR

2pm Wed 28 Feb, the RBNZ will unveil its eagerly awaited OCR decision, marking the first such announcement since 29 Nov 2023. What can we anticipate?
The RBNZ has adopted a hawkish stance, signaling potential rate hikes amidst concerns over domestic inflation - a sentiment echoed by ANZ's Chief Economist, NZ's largest bank.
Contrastingly, the majority of economists have taken a dovish position, cautioning against rate increases. They underscore the impacts of the successive rate hikes (+4.25%) over the past 2.5yrs and the softening underlying GDP, despite robust migration figures.
Adding to the complexity, our Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, has characterized the nation's current state as "fragile."
Market sentiment have been oscillating. Wholesale market funding rates experienced a -1.16% decline from 4 Oct to 29 Dec 2023, (refer to 2yr swap rate graphic). However, since then, they have rebounded, increasing +0.57%. Concurrently, retail mortgage rates have seen some reduction but not to the same extent.
Market dynamics are influenced by a plethora of factors, including local and international data releases like employment figures, inflation rates, and GDP growth. Moreover, commentary from influential figures - sometimes referred to as "jawboning" - can significantly sway market sentiment.
Ultimately, the RBNZ holds the reins, but it's far from a predetermined outcome.

Annual inflation has taken a notable dip to 4.7% in December 2023, marking a significant drop from the 7.3% peak in June 2022 (Stats NZ graph below).

While still above the RBNZ target range of 1-3%, the positive trajectory is undeniable.
This lower inflation trend aligns with market and economist predictions, strengthening the belief that the next move by the RBNZ could be an interest rate cut. The debate on the timing continues, but the overall direction is promising for businesses and consumers alike.
