Poll: What do you reckon, should first home buyers get in now?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

First home buyers have until Christmas to get the best deals in the market, real estate agents warn.

As official cash rates both in NZ and the US start to fall, agents in Waikato are urging first home buyers to take advantage of a window of opportunity before lower lending rates draw investors back in numbers.

What do you reckon, should first home buyers get in now? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
