New quarterly Housing Market Update released

Published 14 May 26

We’ve begun publishing our quarterly Housing Market Update, providing a quarterly snapshot of housing system trends in New Zealand.

The Housing Market Update brings together data and analysis on housing and rental markets, residential construction and broader economic conditions impacting the housing system.

Each quarterly update features analysis of changes over the short and medium term. The update focuses on trends over time rather than short‑term volatility and uses a combination of leading and lagging indicators to assess direction and underlying system dynamics across the system.

The update draws on publicly available data alongside some internally produced analysis. It focuses on trends over time rather than short‑term volatility and uses a mix of leading and lagging indicators to assess direction and momentum.

The Housing Market Update will be published every quarter.
