Most first-home buyers start by scrolling listings on Trade Me and guessing what they can afford. But that’s often misleading – because sellers (and agents) control which price bracket their property appears in.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew walk you through a step-by-step process to find the right property and avoid overpaying — and the whole thing can be done in under 22 minutes.

You’ll learn:

Why “listings are vanity, sales are sanity” when working out what you can afford
The websites you should actually use to find real sale prices (and how to get the photos agents try to hide)
How to build your own mini-database of comparable sales to know if you’re getting a good deal

If you want a practical, no-fluff guide to buying smarter, this episode is for you.
