The spring energy has finally hit the housing market! The latest Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) data for October 2025 shows growing market confidence across the country, which is great news for buyers and sellers in Glen Eden.
After a period of stabilisation, the market is showing signs of life and proving that buyers are ready to secure their West Auckland lifestyle.
For the first time since March 2025, the Auckland median price has jumped back above the $1 million mark! This lift signals a return of stability and optimism to our wider region.
Steady National Price: The national median price held fairly steady at $786,000.
Sales are Up: The total number of properties sold across New Zealand increased by 6.4% year-on-year, showing a healthy rise in activity and a typically strong spring surge.
Auction Excitement:Auction sales in Auckland have increased both month-on-month and year-on-year, representing almost 30% (29.2%) of all sales in the region. This growing popularity shows buyers are feeling more motivated and are prepared to compete for the right homes.
This positive activity suggests that the market has established a sound price base from which it can confidently head into the summer trading season.
If you’re house-hunting for your next Glen Eden family home or seeking a great listing, there’s more choice out there and things are moving with a bit more energy.
Listings are Rising: Nationally, new listings saw a healthy rise of 5.5% year-on-year. For buyers, this means more properties to explore and a greater chance to find the perfect fit.
Days to Sell Decreased: The national median Days to Sell decreased by one day to 41 days. This quicker pace tells us that when a property is marketed well and priced right, buyers are keen to make it their own quickly.
Salespeople across the country are reporting higher-than-anticipated activity, with factors like the warmer weather, more stable prices, and lower interest rates bringing more people back into the market.
