2025 is nearly done and dusted.

It’s been a consistent year in real estate, considering being a flat market with regards to house values, number of sales and median days to sell.

Properties coming to the market where vendors have invested in a marketing campaign with a set strategy I.E. Auction / Tender / Deadline Sale, combined with a well presented home and staging (if needed), are the ones that are selling quickly and for a premium.

A quick breakdown of sales for November:

Residential: 66
Lifestyle: 11
Rural: 02

Total: 79

What’s in store for 2026?

Early 2026 will see a re-write around the rules for Granny Flats.

Basically, Granny Flats will no longer need to go through a Consenting procedure at Council. HOWEVER, there is still a procedure to be followed. You won’t be able to just plonk a Granny Flat on your land without first applying for a PIM (Project Information Memorandum) and having a final sign-off, much like before. Granny Flats will need to be no larger than 70m2 along with a bunch of other rules. If you’re looking at getting one to rent out, the Healthy Homes Standards still apply.

Also in 2026 will see the reversal of the foreign buyer ban. Overseas holders of the Active Investor Plus residency visa will be able to buy a NZ home worth 5m, or more.

November Stats attached.
