A note about methodology: The analysis draws on the REINZ( Real Estate Institute of New Zealand) dataset, focusing specifically on residential house and unit transactions across New Zealand from 2015 to 2025. To ensure data quality, transactions under $ 10,000 were excluded to remove outliers and non-market sales.
