Hamilton’s housing market may never be this “affordable” again, a real estate expert says, but for many residents the dream of owning a home remains out of reach.

After years of freefall from the pandemic-era peak, prices in the city appear to have stabilised. August’s median house price sat at $742,000, almost unchanged from a year ago and well below the December 2021 peak of $870,000, according to REINZ data.

Six seats. That’s all it takes for one of New Zealand’s most celebrated chefs to make his grand return home.

Their new venture, Ni, will seat just six diners at a time in a tiny railway cottage in the heart of Kākahi, near Taumarunui.
