“It’s not just about the deposit—it’s about the plan.” 📊
I’m talking with Ken from Mortgage Express about the reality of the 2026 market. The most valuable conversation you can have as a first-home buyer isn’t just about searching for listings; it’s about sitting down with a mortgage adviser to compare the true cost of renting versus owning.
Ready to see how the numbers actually stack up for your situation? Let’s talk. 🗝️

Part 3 of 4 of our chat with Ken from Mortgage Express. “Is now a good time to buy?” 🤔 It’s the million-dollar question! Carissa and Ken from Mortgage Express break down the reality of the current market and why your personal situation matters more than the trends.

Pt 2 of 4 of our questions to Ken from Mortgage Express

This time we talked about renters and whether it’s worth exploring paying your own mortgage instead of someone else’s.

A lot of people assume buying is out of reach, but with the right advice and understanding what options are actually available, the gap between renting and owning might not be as big as you think.

Definitely a conversation worth having with Ken from Mortgage Express if you’ve been wondering what your next step could look like 🏡

Just caught up with Ken from Mortgage Express to talk interest rates, lending, and the big question a lot of buyers are asking right now… is now actually a good time to buy?

There’s a lot of noise out there, but the reality is every buyer’s situation is different. We talked through where rates are sitting, what banks are looking for, and the opportunities still out there in today’s market.

Stay tuned for Question 2 of 4 over the next few days 👌🏽🏡

What a great result with the power of team work, Shelly and I are happy to say this property is now sold!

Just Sold ✅ | Teamwork makes it happen!

Shelley from our Harcourts Balclutha office and Carissa from here in Dunedin worked together to secure this fantastic result. The property went under offer straight after the first open home, with enquiries continuing until the sold sign went up.

A thrilled first-home buyer has their new home, and the vendors are excited to upsize to their next chapter.
