Mortgage rates and house prices: What to know about the state of the property market

Mortgage rates and house prices are two of our favourite topics of conversation in New Zealand, and they are making for grim discussions at the moment.  Particularly for those Kiwis who are about to refix their mortgage rate for the first time since the economy really took a turn for the worse.   So what’s the best option for those looking to or having to change their rate in the middle of these high interest rates, and is our property fixation about to send jolts through the economy?  Today on The Front Page, Damien is joined by Jose George, the general manager of financial and consumer research organisation Canstar.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
