flag New Zealand’s house prices to rise just 0.5% in 2025 amid flat demand and rising inventory.

flag New Zealand’s housing market is expected to remain nearly flat in 2025, with national house prices projected to rise just 0.5% by year-end, according to Property Pulse and BNZ. flag Despite a 5% increase in monthly sales, rising inventory—reaching a 10-year high—has offset demand, keeping prices stable. flag The Reserve Bank is expected to deliver its final OCR cut, likely ending the easing cycle at 2.25%. flag While stronger economic growth and stable mortgage rates could boost demand in 2026, uncertainty around a proposed capital gains tax for 2027 may dampen investor activity. flag Regional markets like Southland and Canterbury show stronger growth, while Auckland and Wellington face stagnation due to oversupply.
