Roofbuddys founder, James Logan, sat down with The Post for a wide-ranging Q&A on the state of the housing market and why innovation in the trades matters more than ever.
The piece digs into a moment many Kiwis are feeling: a property market thats no longer cruising upward. Logan talks candidly about what a “multi-part correction” looks like, how high costs and softening incomes are reshaping decisions, and why its risky to assume house prices will always climb.
For homeowners and tradies, the article highlights something that often gets lost in the noise — despite decades of rising prices, the quality of our housing stock hasnt kept pace. That gap is exactly where Roofbuddy sits, helping people get better roofing outcomes by making it easier to connect with trusted roofers and bring clarity to an industry thats long operated the analogue way.
Logans story also shows how Roofbuddys mission ties back to his own path through construction, property, and tech: reinvesting in long-term improvements rather than treating trades as just another transaction. Its a reminder that smarter, more transparent roofing work isnt just good for homeowners — it strengthens the industry as a whole.
