Waiheke's median sale price recorded a positive lift in July as we move closer to spring.

According to the latest REINZ data, Waiheke recorded a median sale price of $1,210,000 for July, approximately 27% higher than June and 13% higher than July last year.

While these figures are encouraging, monthly median prices on Waiheke can fluctuate due to the relatively small number and mix of properties sold in any given month. The July result should therefore be viewed as a snapshot of sales activity rather than an indication that individual property values have increased by the same percentage.

As we approach spring, listing ahead of the traditional peak may help your property stand out before more stock comes to market. Timing matters, so if you're considering a move, let's talk about the right strategy for your Waiheke property.

Real estate isn't just about matching buyers with properties.

It's about understanding what makes each property unique and communicating that value to the right buyer.

On Waiheke, every property has its own characteristics. Sun orientation, topography, access, zoning, native bush, views, infrastructure, water supply, wastewater systems, building history, future potential and local planning considerations can all influence a property's appeal and value.

For our sellers, that means marketing a property with confidence and accuracy.

For our buyers, it means helping them make informed decisions with a clear understanding of what they're purchasing.

Local knowledge helps us ask the right questions, highlight the details that matter, and provide informed advice throughout the selling and buying process.

Waiheke isn't just about beautiful homes or breathtaking views…

It's the morning swim before work, coffee in the village, evenings that end with sunsets instead of traffic. Weekends that feel like a holiday, without ever leaving home.

It's a lifestyle that encourages you to slow down, connect with nature, and spend more time doing what matters most.

Because when you choose to call Waiheke home, you're choosing so much more than an address.

You're choosing a way of life.

If you're thinking about making Waiheke your home, we'd love to help you discover what makes this island so special.

The Waiheke property market continues to present opportunities for both buyers and sellers as we move through winter, with conditions favouring those who are well prepared and ready to act.

According to the latest REINZ data, the median sale price for June was $950,000, down 3.1% from May, while remaining 1.3% higher than June last year. Compared with three years ago, the median price is 21.0% lower, reflecting a market that has settled into more balanced conditions.

Quality Over Quantity
A total of 10 properties sold during June, with buyers continuing to take a considered approach to securing the right property. Well-presented homes, priced in line with current market conditions, continue to attract genuine interest, demonstrating that quality listings are still achieving results.

What This Means for Waiheke
Winter can offer an often-overlooked advantage for sellers. With fewer properties coming to market, there is less competition for buyer attention, allowing well-marketed homes to stand out. Combined with the settled weather we’ve been enjoying and motivated buyers looking to make their next move, it may be an opportune time to launch your property ahead of the traditional spring market.

If you’re considering buying or selling and would like to discuss what the current market means for your property, we’re here to help.

The best conversations usually start with great coffee. ☕
Just downstairs from our office in Ostend is one of our favourite local spots, Take A Bite Café.

Sun-soaked, welcoming and effortlessly stylish, it’s run by the lovely Mathias and Kim, who serve what we think is some of the best coffee on Waiheke, alongside artisan food that makes the cabinet very hard to resist.

Whether we’re catching up with clients over coffee or bringing a fresh brew upstairs for a more private meeting, it’s all part of creating a relaxed, local experience that is authentically Waiheke.

Thinking about buying, selling or simply curious about the market? We’d love to shout you a coffee. Meet us downstairs at Take A Bite or upstairs in the office.

Local, easy and very Waiheke.

Market Update – May REINZ Data

As we move into winter, the Waiheke property market has naturally slowed, reflecting the seasonal trends we typically see at this time of year.

According to the latest REINZ figures, the median sale price for May was $980,000, with 8 properties sold and a median of 97 days to sell.

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁

It’s not unusual for buyer activity to ease during the cooler months. While there are fewer transactions, serious buyers remain active and are often motivated to secure the right property.

With fewer homes coming to market, sellers also benefit from less competition, giving well-presented properties the opportunity to stand out and capture buyers’ attention.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝗵𝗲𝗸𝗲

Winter can be an excellent time to sell. Buyers searching now are generally committed, and with less choice available, quality properties continue to attract genuine enquiry.

Success in today’s market comes down to thoughtful pricing, professional presentation and a tailored marketing strategy that puts your property in front of the right audience.

A quieter market doesn’t mean fewer opportunities - it simply rewards preparation, strategy and standing out from the crowd.
