As the sun sets on 2025, the West Auckland property market is finishing the year on a high note.
The latest data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) for December 2025 shows a market brimming with confidence and positivity. Here is your snapshot of whatâs happening in our backyard and across the country as we head into 2026.
December is often a time for family and holidays, but the property market didnât get the memo! While trading typically tapers off during the festive season, 2025 ended with a âpositive flourishâ as Auckland properties held onto the gains made during the late spring surge.
The big news for our local community is that Auckland has maintained its momentum. After breaking back through the million-dollar barrier earlier in the spring, the region is showing real resilience.
Aucklandâs Median Milestone: The median sale price in Auckland for the end of the year sat at $980,000, showing a marginal increase over the previous three months.
National Picture: Nationwide, the median price has remained resilient, with the majority of regions recording annual price growth.
Growing Activity: Across Auckland, salespeople are reporting busy trading and a positive sentiment as we enter the new year.
For Glen Eden homeowners, this stability is a great sign that the âhard workâ of the market cycle is behind us, and we are now on a path of steady recovery.
We are seeing a clear shift from caution to confidence. Improved financing conditions and a more settled economic outlook are bringing buyers back into the fold with real energy.
Auctions are Back: Auctions have returned in force, accounting for a significant portion of Aucklandâs transactions. This shows that buyers are ready to compete for the right home.
First-Home Buyers Leading the Way: First-home buyers and owner-occupiers remain the most active groups at open homes.
