Buying your first home or reviewing an existing mortgage? I’ve brought together four useful New Zealand resources to help you check advertised rates, explore house-value trends and understand first-home support. Start with the topic you need, then talk to me about what it means for your own plans.
Each resource opens an independent website in a new tab.
MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES
Published NZ mortgage rates
Interest.co.nz
See advertised mortgage interest rates from NZ lenders in one place. Actual pricing, conditions and lender availability can differ; the lowest advertised rate may not be available to you.
PROPERTY MARKET INFORMATION
Residential house values
PropertyValue
Explore average residential property values and trends by region or suburb. Use these figures as market context, rather than a valuation of a particular home.
FIRST HOME LOAN
Understand First Home Loan
Kāinga Ora
Read official guidance on the First Home Loan programme, eligibility and its low-deposit option. Meeting the programme criteria does not guarantee lender approval.
KIWISAVER WITHDRAWAL
KiwiSaver for your first home
Inland Revenue
Check official guidance on withdrawing KiwiSaver savings for a first home. Talk to your scheme provider about your eligibility, documents and the time needed to apply.
A note about these links
These are independent third-party websites. I’ve included them because they may be useful, but their information and services are outside Best Mortgages’ control. Always check the latest details directly with the provider. General information is not personalised financial advice.
