Taxing issues and the state of play
Friday 9th October
Hi
The first morsels of statistics came out this week and although reflected what was widely perceived to be happening in the market, were interesting none-the-less.
We have a story on why auctions are the more effective way to sell presently, plus an update from the beginning of the week on what's happening on the capital gains tax front.
We also report on investors' thoughts and what they've been doing recently in the latest Landlords.co.nz/Mike Pero Mortgages survey.
And to round out the week, have a read of the latest 'Property made easy' piece sponsored by the ANZ, on the current state of play.
Have a great weekend.
Warm regards
The Landlord
