REINZ STATS

Within Wellington, the median price softened by 0.9% to $765,000, while inventory expanded significantly, now sitting at 19 weeks – one of the largest year-on-year increases in unsold stock nationally. This growth in supply is particularly relevant for Wairarapa vendors, as it highlights increasing competition and reinforces the importance of strategic positioning when entering the market.

Closer to home, performance in Wairarapa has been mixed. Masterton has shown resilience, with its median price rising 4.5% year-on-year to $585,000, while Carterton and South Wairarapa experienced notable corrections, down 32.4% to $500,000 and 18.3% to $515,000 respectively. Sales volumes remain steady to improved in Carterton (+7.1%) and South Wairarapa (+10.0%), suggesting underlying buyer engagement remains intact despite pricing adjustments.

Real estate is about more than property — it’s about connection, lifestyle, and finding a place that feels like home. The Wairarapa embodies that perfectly: open spaces, heritage charm, and a sense of belonging.

As part of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, I combine global reach with local insight to showcase the region’s most distinctive homes — from character villas to modern retreats. My focus is simple: genuine relationships, thoughtful presentation, and exceptional results delivered with integrity.

Wairarapa heart. Sotheby’s standard.
