According to CoreLogic economist Kelvin Davidson, NZ's 2025 property market will be stable, shaped by "conflicting forces." Falling mortgage rates may push prices up, but job market weakness and affordability issues will restrain growth.
An average national price rise of around 5% is forecast. The market currently favours buyers due to high listings, but it's considered a decent market for everyone. Buyers and sellers are advised not to rush. Watch for falling mortgage rates and debt-to-income ratios.
