Description

The Foreign Buyer Ban has been one of New Zealand’s most controversial housing policies. The National-led government has changed the rules.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew are joined by Mark Harris (Managing Director of NZ Sotheby’s International Realty) to unpack what this really means.

You’ll learn:

  • Who can now legally buy property in NZ under the new rules
  • The types of homes that overseas buyers are targeting
  • Why this is unlikely to affect first-home buyers


This episode delves into the policy's fine print, separating hype from reality and asking whether everyday investors should even care.
