Hamilton house prices up but ‘rampant boom’ in 2025 unlikely

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The median house price in Hamilton climbed 0.5% to hit $742,670 in February, according to the latest CoreLogic Home Value Index.

The median Hamilton price rise was above the national average of 0.3% across February, a rise CoreLogic said was “the clearest sign yet that 2024’s ‘mini downturn’ had come to an end and that 2025 will likely see modest growth”.
