Trends we are noticing are:

  • Hesitancy amongst buyers due to higher mortgage cost and concerns over inflation
  • The market has slowed down to moderate pace
  • More negotiation happening

“Canterbury was the region with the strongest annual percentage growth in June. The median price in the region increased 22.1% annually — from $565,000 to $690,000 in June 2022.”

“As the market stabilises, and the high-growth we saw through 2021 dissipates, downward pressure on prices may improve affordability. However, this is balanced with higher mortgage costs and wider economic headwinds that may continue to temper people’s appetite for entering the market — as a buyer or seller.” – Jen Baird (REINZ CEO)
