Are house prices about to drop more, or is this the bottom of the market?


In this episode of Ask the Experts, we dig into what’s really going on with New Zealand’s housing market in 2025.


Whether you’re a first home buyer, property investor, or current homeowner, understanding the true drivers behind NZ house prices is essential to making smart money choices.


House prices are flat or falling across much of the country. So what’s holding the market back, and what could trigger the next move?


Join Kiwibank economist Sabrina Delgado and host Frances Cook for a deep dive into:


  • Why New Zealand house prices have stalled
  • The impact of interest rates and the Reserve Bank’s OCR decisions
  • What’s happening in the construction industry and how it affects housing supply
  • Common myths about the NZ housing market
  • What to expect for property prices over the next year
  • The key factor buyers and sellers need to watch right now


If you’re wondering whether to buy now, sell soon, or wait it out, this is the expert insight you need to make confident property decisions in 2025.
