The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has just announced a 25 basis point cut to the Official Cash Rate (OCR), bringing it down to 3.50%. This is big news for Kiwis looking to build their dream home!
Lower interest rates mean cheaper borrowing costs, better mortgage rates, and increased affordability for new home builds, making now the perfect time to start your journey with Landmark Homes.

Lower Mortgage Rates: With banks expected to pass on the rate cut, securing a loan for your build has never been more affordable.
More Home for Your Money: Lower interest rates can increase your borrowing power, meaning more opportunity to upgrade your design, add more features, or choose a premium location.
Beat the Boom: As more buyers jump on lower rates, demand for new builds will rise, potentially leading to longer wait times and increased costs. Getting started now ensures you lock in today’s pricing before the market heats up!
Your Dream Home, Your Way: Landmark Homes offers a seamless, stress-free building process. Our expert team will guide you every step of the way to create a home that reflects your style, needs, and lifestyle.
"This OCR drop is a game-changer for those thinking about building. With rates at their lowest in years, now is the time to take action and build the home you’ve always wanted."
Gary Woodhouse, Landmark Homes - CEO
