With the recent OCR reductions, mortgage rates are more accessible than ever, opening a window of opportunity for prospective homeowners. But it's not just about the finances—now is the perfect time to build for reasons that go beyond low interest rates. This is a moment when market conditions, timing, and opportunity align to make building your new home a smart and exciting move.

With lower interest rates, building a new home is becoming more achievable. It’s not just about affordable mortgages, though—the benefits extend far beyond that.
One of the most compelling advantages is the increase in value that many new homeowners are seeing. Homes built in 2022 and 2023 have already appreciated, with owners telling us that their homes are now valued higher than when they started. This reflects the strengthening economy and makes a strong case for starting your build now to enjoy potential long-term gains.
Another advantage is the streamlined processes we’re seeing in council consents. With fewer applications in the pipeline, local councils are responding faster, helping us get projects underway without the usual wait times. It’s an ideal time to start your journey, knowing that every step can progress more smoothly than in high-demand periods.

At Landmark, we’re committed to turning your vision into a beautiful, well-designed home that’s as functional as it is stylish. Our Ready to Build plans offer a pre-costed, pre-designed option for those looking to move quickly, while our custom builds cater to those who want a personalised home crafted specifically for their needs. With smart, cost-effective design choices, we make it possible to achieve your dream home while maximising every dollar.
