Have you heard of the proposed Real Estate Institute of New Zealand agreements for selling and buying property? This agreement is expected to be put in place soon and it may affect the business activities of property investors.Current RegulationsIn the past two decades, a standard agreement has been used for recording the purchase and selling of real estate in New Zealand. This agreement was a joint production of REINZ and the Auckland District Law Society and has undergone eight changes over the years to improve and fine tune its terms.The current 8th edition includes provisions proven to be time-tested and transparent as well as easily understood by all parties involved in a real estate transaction. It has long been touted as containing no surprises, alleviating adjudication due to misunderstandings.The New AgreementIf you are familiar with the current buying and selling provisions, the new agreement from REINZ will require a learning curve to understand its concepts and rules. How these rules will be interpreted by legal entities is yet to be determined and could change much of the way real estate transactions are performed in the future.One of the differences between the 8th...more

What are economists saying about the future of New Zealand's economy and how does this affect the decision to invest in property?The question many potential investors have is whether or not the housing market has reached bottom yet. Recently it was stated that the industry has declined 12% over 2007 figures. Some pundits have said that it could go even further with another 5% decline expected before the bottom is hit.Putting Economic Forecasts into PerspectiveIf the economist quoted above is truly correct, then someone purchasing real estate right now would presumably pay 12% less for a devalued property. At the time that it decreases an additional 5%, the buyer will also experience a total loss of 17%, right?Not necessarily.The buyer only experiences a comparable loss if they sell at the bottom of the market. The old adage of "buy low, sell high" proves true for any type of financial transaction. The key is to hold on to your investment until its value rises. If you buy real estate at a low price, up to 20 - 30% less than its prior value, with comfortable financing terms, it just makes sense to keep the property until the economy recovers and the value increases substantially. In...more
