REINZ Aug 2025 Statistics are out now!

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

The latest REINZ data shows a mixed picture, with national medians holding broadly steady but regional variations becoming more pronounced.
🔹 Auckland +1.3% (to $964,000)
🔹 NZ Excl Akl: +1.5% (to $690,000)

Regional standouts:
⬆ Gisborne +11.3% (to $690,000)
⬆ Southland +8.9% (to $465,000)
⬆ West Coast +7.8% (to $385,000)

🏡 House Price Index: up 0.4% year-on-year, continuing a steady five-year growth trend of 3.2% p.a.

⏱ Days to sell averaged 48, two days faster than August 2024, though regional differences remain stark (e.g., West Coast up 19 days, Nelson/Marlborough down 11 days).

Sales volumes, slowed:
🔹 Down 3.7% YoY nationwide (5,866 sales).
🔹 Waikato (+13.2%), Gisborne (+11.1%), and Southland (+8.1%) bucked the trend with solid growth.

Supply is lifting:
🔹 New listings up 9% YoY (8,769 nationally).
🔹 Inventory at 30,000 – a 1.4% increase.

➡️ Takeaway: While sales are easing in some regions, most are still showing year-on-year price growth. With listings rising and days-to-sell stabilising, spring will be a key period to watch.
