flag In New Zealand, relying on housing equity for retirement is becoming less reliable due to falling house prices and declining home ownership rates, now at 60%, projected to drop to 48% by 2048. flag The average age of first-time home buyers has risen to 36, with 13% still paying off mortgages past retirement age. flag With KiwiSaver changes and global economic uncertainty, many New Zealanders are facing a less secure retirement and may need to work past 65. flag The situation is particularly challenging for those aged 35-49, who bought homes during a housing price boom.
