According to Cotality's latest report, 90.8% of NZ property resellers made a profit in Q1 2025, despite a soft market. The median gross profit was $280,000.
Longer hold periods are the key factor, with profitable properties typically owned for 9.1 years. In contrast, loss-making sales were held for just 3.3 years.
Apartments faced more pressure, with 32.8% reselling at a loss compared to 8.4% of houses. A slow and steady market uplift is expected for 2025.
