Interest rates fall. House prices rise. At least, that’s what everyone says.
But if that’s true, why have New Zealand house prices barely moved after the OCR fell from 5.5% to 2.25%?

You’ll learn:
How much do house prices go up when interest rates go down
How interest rates impact how much the bank will let you borrow
Why have interest rates fell 3% recently, yet house prices have barely moved
And here's the catch: lower interest rates help, but they're only one piece of the puzzle.
