AI summary
CoreLogic's Kelvin Davidson forecasts a stable 2025 NZ property market with "conflicting forces" at play. Falling mortgage rates may push prices up, while job market challenges could restrain growth.
An average price increase of around 5% is expected. The market currently favours buyers due to high listings but is considered decent for everyone, with no need to rush.
