26 Buyer Classification Buyer Classification - New Zealand The second month of Q2 data is now in and suggests that the share of sales to investors has begun to bounce up again after a couple of quarters of weakness. The share of first home buyers has held firm, while movers have continued to weaken. Given that overall sales volumes are down, this suggests that all buyer groups have been hit rather than one group taking the brunt of the drop. The strength of the investor share is definitely being held up by those paying in cash, with investors requiring a mortgage dropping much more.
