REINZ Aug 2025 Statistics are out now!

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

The latest REINZ data shows a mixed picture, with national medians holding broadly steady but regional variations becoming more pronounced.
🔹 Auckland +1.3% (to $964,000)
🔹 NZ Excl Akl: +1.5% (to $690,000)

Regional standouts:
⬆ Gisborne +11.3% (to $690,000)
⬆ Southland +8.9% (to $465,000)
⬆ West Coast +7.8% (to $385,000)

🏡 House Price Index: up 0.4% year-on-year, continuing a steady five-year growth trend of 3.2% p.a.

⏱ Days to sell averaged 48, two days faster than August 2024, though regional differences remain stark (e.g., West Coast up 19 days, Nelson/Marlborough down 11 days).

Sales volumes, slowed:
🔹 Down 3.7% YoY nationwide (5,866 sales).
🔹 Waikato (+13.2%), Gisborne (+11.1%), and Southland (+8.1%) bucked the trend with solid growth.

Supply is lifting:
🔹 New listings up 9% YoY (8,769 nationally).
🔹 Inventory at 30,000 – a 1.4% increase.

➡️ Takeaway: While sales are easing in some regions, most are still showing year-on-year price growth. With listings rising and days-to-sell stabilising, spring will be a key period to watch.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
