Ben Cutting and Erin Holland are making a significant shift from celebrity status to serious players in the real estate investing market. Their entry into property investment marks a notable change in their careers.
Previously, many celebrities dabbled in real estate without deep expertise. However, Cutting has over a decade of experience in property investment, development, and buying. He completed his real estate license during the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating a commitment to this new path.
In 2024, Cutting purchased a property in Hawthorne for $2.86 million. The property features six bedrooms and three bathrooms. This purchase reflects his serious approach to real estate.
Holland is also making waves in the industry. She plans to release a video podcast aimed at helping Australians navigate the property market. She emphasizes that education is key for potential investors.
Key statistics about the current real estate market:
- The average asking price drop is $33,212.
- Approximately 95% of listings had no price drop at all.
- In Manawatū / Whanganui, 12% of listings experienced a price drop, the highest in the country.
Experts note that while some areas are seeing price drops, many listings remain stable. This contrast highlights differing trends within the real estate market. As Ben Cutting stated, “It’s always been there in the background,” referring to his long-standing interest in property.
Erin Holland hopes her podcast will encourage people to explore property investment further. She believes that understanding the market is crucial for success. With their combined efforts, Cutting and Holland aim to reshape perceptions around celebrity involvement in real estate.
