The Real Estate of New Zealand (REINZ) comments that despite a dip in April sales activity, most regions remained relatively steady with broader market conditions largely unchanged. Overall, the number of sales remains close to the long-term April average, highlighting that this year’s softer headline result still sits comfortably within the market’s historical range. However, April 2026 marks the first clear sign that the combined weight of cost-of-living pressures – higher fuel costs, food prices, insurance, and local body rates – began influencing buyer decisions in a meaningful way.

From 1 May 2026, a new Information Privacy Principle 3A under the Privacy Act 2020 came into force. Under IPP 3A, agencies that collect personal information indirectly from a third party must take reasonable steps to notify the individual concerned, unless an exception applies. This Q&A resource provides general guidance on how IPP 3A may apply in common real estate scenarios, including referrals, information sharing between agents or branches, online portal enquiries, and the sharing of sales information. This resource is for general informational purposes only. There is no “one size fits all” approach to complying with IPP 3A, and each situation should be assessed on its own facts. Agencies should seek independent legal advice or speak with their legal, compliance, branch manager, or supervisor contacts if they are unsure about their obligations.

The Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (UEM Act) prohibits the sending of spam with a New Zealand link (messages sent to, from, or within New Zealand). A failure to comply with the UEM Act can mean a fine of up to $500,000 as per section 45(4). The UEM Act covers email, instant messaging, texts, faxes and image-based messages with a commercial purpose. It does not cover internet pop-ups or telemarketing such as phone calls. It defines ‘unsolicited commercial electronic message’ as a commercial electronic message that the recipient has not consented to receiving. An electronic message is considered spam only if it is commercial in nature for example, marketing or promoting goods, services, land, an interest in land, an investment opportunity or including a link to these categories. Agencies must ensure they do not send spam. This is particularly applicable when it comes to prospecting for listings.
