After a few challenging years, the tide is turning in New Zealand’s property market. A new Reuters poll suggests that house prices across the country are expected to rise by around 3.8% in 2025. With interest rates stabilising and confidence returning, this could be great news for homeowners and sellers, especially in sought-after regions like Taupō.
What’s Driving the Shift?
Interest rates are easing: Mortgage rates have fallen nearly 20% compared to last year, giving buyers more flexibility and lifting overall confidence.
Stable demand: Despite a quieter few years, buyer interest is building — particularly for well-presented, fairly priced homes in lifestyle-rich areas.
Low building pipeline: New construction has slowed, meaning less competition for existing properties.
What Does This Mean For Sellers In Taupō
If you’ve been thinking about selling but were unsure if the market would bounce back— this may be the window you’ve been waiting for. With prices tipped to rise, now’s a smart time to prepare, stage, and list your home to take advantage of renewed demand.
