The long-awaited spring lift has truly arrived! The latest Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) data for October 2025 shows a healthy bump in market confidence nationwide, which is fantastic news for our focused market here on the Peninsula.
After a period of finding its feet, the market is showing strong signs of momentum, proving that buyers are eager to secure their spot in the sought-after Te Atatū lifestyle.
The biggest takeaway for our local West Auckland community is that the Auckland median price has confidently risen back above $1 million! This is the first time it has hit this mark since March 2025 and signals welcomed stability and optimism across the Supercity.
National Momentum: The total number of properties sold across Aotearoa jumped with a 6.4% year-on-year increase. This surge in sales activity is a sure sign of a robust spring season.
Auction Action: In Auckland, auction sales are on the rise both month-on-month and year-on-year, accounting for nearly 30% (29.2%) of all regional sales. This increase shows sellers are feeling optimistic and buyers are bringing energy to the process when securing their next home.
This activity means the market has built a sound price base from which we can confidently head into the summer months.
If you’re hunting for a waterfront gem or a family home on the Peninsula, you’ve got more options, and if you’re selling, things are moving swiftly!
Listings Increase: New listings nationally saw a substantial lift of 5.5% year-on-year. For Te Atatū buyers, this expanded choice is great, meaning a higher chance of finding the perfect property.
Speeding Up the Process: The national median Days to Sell dropped by one day to 41 days. This faster pace confirms that if a property is marketed well and priced right, buyers are making quick, motivated decisions.
Salespeople are reporting higher activity than expected, with more favourable conditions like warmer weather and stable interest rates contributing to the enthusiasm.
