“Buy the worst house on the best street” – classic Kiwi advice … but is it actually good in 2025?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew delve into the data behind this old property mantra, revealing when it works brilliantly and when it can turn into a costly mistake.
You’ll learn:
- Whether the “worst house, best street” strategy still stacks up today
- What the numbers say about capital growth in top suburbs vs cheaper areas
