Kiwis Can Invest in Homes for Just $100 with Housies Platform

A new investment platform, Housies, launched today in New Zealand, allows individuals to buy a share in a house for as little as $100. This innovative approach aims to remove barriers to home ownership and provide more Kiwis with access to the property market.

Accessible Home Investment

With Housies, investors can purchase shares in residential properties and receive returns from rental income or potential long-term capital growth. This model seeks to democratize real estate investment, enabling people to participate in home ownership without the need for substantial upfront capital.

Co-founder James Jordan emphasizes the platform’s role in fostering ownership among everyday people. “They have skin in the game, they’ve got their own money in the property,” he explained. Jordan noted that all properties listed on Housies will be new homes, ensuring quality and sustainability. The platform includes support for investors, helping them manage their investments effectively.

Transforming Property Ownership

Housies is designed to attract a diverse range of investors, from first-time buyers to seasoned property enthusiasts. The initiative targets those who may find traditional home buying financially daunting, providing a pathway to property investment without the prohibitive costs often associated with it.

As the demand for affordable housing continues to rise, Housies aims to be a part of the solution, offering a unique opportunity for Kiwis to build equity in real estate. The platform aligns with broader trends in the property market, where innovative financing options are increasingly necessary to address the challenges of home ownership.

In a landscape where many New Zealanders struggle to enter the housing market, Housies presents a compelling alternative. By lowering the financial threshold, the platform could significantly impact how individuals approach home investment and ownership in the coming years.
