Ed McKnight: What does property investment look like in 2025? 6z5v71

After recent rockiness in both equity and housing markets, we revisit the classic shares vs. property discussion with Ed McKnight, Resident Economist at Opes Partners. While he believes there’s a “buyer’s market”, Ed cautions that housing might be riskier than you think, and that leverage can amplify your losses as well as your returns. Is Ed worried about the impacts of climate and insurability for property investors? What makes a property rentable in 2025? How does our lower birth rate affect demand for different types of housing? And with New Zealand close to a 10-year high in property listings, Ed shares how Opes Partners identifies undervalued growth areas (like Christchurch in the pre-covid era).
