Does your property really double in value every 10yrs?

Matt from

“In 2012, the national average asking price for a home was less than half a million dollars at $447,040. We have seen this average increase steadily over the last ten years to reach just under $1 million in 2021.”

Average asking prices have more than doubled nationally and in 10 of 19 NZ regions in the last decade, according to the latest data from realestate.co.nz.

For homeowners who have not (theoretically) doubled their money, most have seen average asking prices in their regions get close, with more than 90% increases.

Vanessa Williams, spokesperson for realestate.co.nz says that property has long been considered a good investment, and the latest data has supported that theory.

In the last ten years, regional New Zealand small towns have seen the largest average asking price increases. With an increase of $361,441 or 282.1% in 10 years, mill-town Kawerau saw the most exponential average asking price growth.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
