Buying at the Peak: How to Survive When the Market Turns Against You⎥ Ep. 2243
Amber and her husband bought their Auckland home at the height of the 2021 property boom. Four years later, they’ve smashed $200,000 off their mortgage, but the house still hasn’t regained its value.
In this episode, Ed and Andrew sit down with Amber to unpack how she’s handled redundancy, financial pressure, and the emotional rollercoaster of waiting for recovery.
You’ll learn:
- How Amber and her husband stayed afloat after redundancy
- Why emergency funds can make your financial resilience
- What she’s learned about discipline, mindset, and not letting online valuations dictate confidence
Amber’s story offers a candid look at the unglamorous side of property ownership and why investors who hold steady through downturns are the ones who ultimately win.
