• 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.
