AI summary

In 2024, Auckland's average rent is $690 per week, making it New Zealand's most expensive city. This represents a 4.5% increase from 2023.

Average weekly rent varies by property type:

- Townhouses: $720

- Apartments: $580

- Units: $560

The rental market is showing signs of cooling down due to increased supply and falling demand. This shift suggests that rent prices may stabilize, providing potential relief for tenants after several years of consistent increases.
