The Forces Behind NZ House Prices The Economists Miss
•
Today we sit down with Nathan Najib, Managing Director of Najib Real Estate in Christchurch, to explore a refreshing perspective on the New Zealand property market.
We discuss:
• Why Nathan refuses to “spruik” the property market.
• The key variables behind house prices in NZ that the economists miss
• Whether we really own our homes?
• What the future of NZ may look like?
While many real estate agents are keen to hype the market, Nathan takes a different approach focusing on transparency, people-first values, and long-term trust. How? Being realistic about house prices.
From starting in real estate at just 19, to founding Najib Real Estate in 2016, Nathan has built a reputation for being honest, community-minded, and unafraid to challenge the industry status quo.

55:20|Today Amy from Levridge breaks down some real client examples of New Zealander's building wealth. The pattern is clear: small tweaks in the right direction and knowing why you're doing it create massive differences over time. Everyone's at a different starting line, running a different race. But the ones getting ahead all have one thing in common: they got good advice and took action.We cover relationship property agreements, why your home isn't actually an investment, the importance of accountability, and how restructuring debt can save thousands in tax. Plus, why sometimes the best financial advice is to do nothing at all.Find Amy:https://levridge.co.nz/https://instagram.com/amy.levridgeAmy from http://Levridge.co.nz has come on as a sponsor of Keep The Change to help people with their financial planning.
