The latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) show that the New Zealand property market started 2025 with some positive signs, tempered by the usual slowness of the holiday period.

REINZ Chief Executive Jen Baird stated, “While the numbers predictably show January being a slower month due to the holidays, sales and listings were higher compared to January 2024, and open home volumes were strong across the country with a positive sentiment shown from buyers.”
