In this mini podcast episode — just 5 minutes — I chat through what’s really going on in the market right now and why I reckon this could be the perfect time for property developers to get moving.
We’ll look at what’s shifting, what it means, and how smart developers can make the most of it. I’ll share a few strategies, a couple of things to watch out for, and hopefully give you a bit of clarity if you’re thinking about your next move. Whether you’ve done a few projects or you’re just starting to look into development, there’s something in here for you.

Why Wars & Oil Prices Decide What Your House is Worth
Global politics aren’t just headlines—they’re shaping the cost of living, the price of oil, and even what your house is worth.
In this episode, I connect the dots between wars in Europe, US debt and politics, and why oil could hit $150 a barrel.
You’ll learn how these global forces flow through to New Zealand—driving building costs, inflation, rents, and ultimately the value of your property.
I’ll also share thoughts on gold, shares, and where opportunities might lie in an uncertain world.
This is not financial advice—everyone’s situation is different, so please speak to a professional financial adviser before making any investment decisions.
