Looking toward this year in property.
AI summary
The NZ property market ended 2025 softly, with national values dipping to a median of $808,430. Cotality notes a split performance, with values falling in Auckland and Hamilton but rising in Christchurch, Dunedin, and Tauranga.
Despite a slight annual dip, the year was considered "broadly flat" due to conflicting forces. Looking ahead, Cotality forecasts a return to growth, predicting a 5% rise in national property values for 2026, influenced by a strengthening economy and other key variables.
