Buying a house in New Zealand, although not overly complicated, is certainly very different to that of the UK or the USA. If you are moving to New Zealand (or already living in New Zealand) you will, at some time, think about buying a house.
In this week’s show, I welcome back one of our most popular guests, Ryan. Ryan lives on the outskirts of Auckland with his wife Jo (who is a teacher in New Zealand). In the five years that he and Jo have been living in New Zealand, they have bought two houses (at different times!).
Here’s everything single thing you need to know about that process.

Buying a House in New Zealand. Podcast Show Notes
In this week’s show, Ryan talks to Liz about:
- The process of buying a house in New Zealand
- How bank finance works
- Auctions
- Open homes
- New Zealand buying compared to the USA
- Costs
- Much, much more!
Thank you, Ryan! Ryan left the USA with his family to start a new life in New Zealand five years ago.
If you are moving to New Zealand then you will love this show. It will also serve as a reminder of how important it is to surround yourself with like-minded people whenever you are about to tackle something as huge as moving to the other side of the world. You don’t have to do it alone.
Ryan is a valuable and treasured member of our private community (that we affectionately call the NZ Slackers!). The input that he offers to those going through this same journey is priceless!

PS. We LOVE Housesitting. Want to Try it too?
If you have been following this podcast for a while, then you will know that we have just returned from six months in Europe and Asia. While we were there, we did a lot of housesitting. We are constantly asked how we did this and if we can share the website that we used. So here it is:
The initial ‘looking part’ is free. You can oggle all of the beautiful houses around New Zealand that are waiting for YOU to look after them. Take a sneak peek here! (As I say, looking is completely free, so gander to your heart’s content).
Then, if you are serious about using Housesitting as a tool to travel the world for free (as we do), you can use my exclusive discount code to save yourself 20% by Clicking here.
Still not sure about paying for a Housesitting membership? Remember that the cost of a yearly membership (approx $80 using the discount code above) will be paid back (and more) on the first housesitting night. It really is that simple!
