Greed and Realestate Agent hype of quick money, big profits have pulled in many people into the housing market, and they got burned big time. Sadly, the realestate agents walk away with a healthy check in hand and the purchaser suffers for poor research into the truth of an overly hyped market over the past few years. It is not the fault of the agent, it is the fault of the purchaser for not doing their homework... The upside is the flood of properties into the market by desperate sellers will hopefully make NZ a little more affordable in the future to more Kiwi's!
