Market Update – January 2025
As we step into 2025, Auckland’s residential property market has shown promising signs of renewed energy, offering opportunities for both Vendors and Purchasers alike. January traditionally signals a fresh start in real estate, and this year has been no exception.
Following the recent easing of interest rates, the Auckland housing market has experienced a notable uptick in buyer activity. Purchasers are now entering the market with renewed confidence, keen to secure properties before anticipated market acceleration later in the year. This creates a timely advantage for Vendors considering listing their homes.
Properties situated in sought-after suburbs such as Ponsonby, Remuera, Epsom, Grey Lynn, and the North Shore continue to attract significant interest, particularly renovated family homes, executive residences, and investment opportunities close to Auckland’s excellent transport links, schools, and local amenities.
At Goodwins, our experienced team has observed an increased demand for properties that are ready to move into, as buyers are increasingly drawn to the convenience of homes requiring minimal immediate work. Our property management team’s strategic recommendations for pre-market enhancements have proven instrumental in achieving swift sales and premium prices for our Vendors.
Investment buyers have re-entered the market vigorously, stimulated by attractive rental yields and stability in tenant demand. Goodwins’ extensive investor database has enabled our sales team to efficiently connect Vendors with motivated buyers, ensuring transactions that satisfy both parties.
Our advice to Vendors considering entering the market is clear: now is the optimal time to leverage the current competitive buyer environment. Similarly, for Purchasers, aligning yourself with an experienced, market-savvy team such as Goodwins will position you advantageously in this dynamic marketplace.
Looking ahead, we anticipate the Auckland real estate market will continue its positive trajectory through 2025, buoyed by supportive economic conditions and sustained demand for quality residential properties.
