Are we in for another property boom?
AI summary
Leading New Zealand economists predict a rise in house prices for 2025, though the market faces competing pressures.
Most major banks forecast growth, with Kiwibank and ANZ predicting a 6% increase, while ASB anticipates a more optimistic 10.9% lift. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand expects around 7% growth, and CoreLogic foresees slow, steady increases.
Key drivers include falling interest rates and population growth. However, headwinds like a sluggish economy, stretched affordability, and rising unemployment may temper the recovery.
