A listener letter asks if you can really find an undervalued suburb, or is it all luck?

Host Frances Cook is joined by Vanessa Williams from http://realestate.co.nz to unpack whether you can actually spot an up-and-coming suburb before it booms.

Sure, one clever buy could mean your net worth booms, but how do you play that game to win?

This episode digs into:

• How to use real estate data to compare suburbs and spot growth trends
• What infrastructure, transport links, and buyer demand reveal about the next boom suburb
• Why some “bargains” stay cheap, and how to tell the difference with ones that are about to soar in price
• Smart, practical tips for first-home buyers chasing value in New Zealand’s housing market

If you’ve ever wondered how to find the best suburb to buy your first home, or whether “undervalued areas” really exist anymore, this episode has your answers.
