HOW IT WORKS


Step 1:
Choose a house. Buy shares

Carefully vetted houses in up-and-coming Auckland suburbs are published here. For as little as $500, you can buy shares in the Company that owns the house (we call these HouseShares).

Step 2:
Buy more shares. Grow your ownership

Every time you have some spare cash, you can buy more HouseShares and keep building up your stake in the market.

Step 3:
Stay in step with the market

HouseShares are valued monthly based on QV indexes and independent valuation.

Step 4:
Keep track of your ownership

Keep tabs on your HouseShares online. View the house or houses you're saving in, and see how each one is tracking in the market.

Step 5:
Want to sell?

No problem, each month you can request that those shares be purchased back at the latest valuation price.
