As we wrap up the final month of 2025, the local property market has finished the year with a fantastic burst of energy.
The latest data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) shows a market that is human, approachable, and full of momentum. Here is your quick guide to what happened in December and what it means for your Peninsula lifestyle.
While December is often about beach days and barbeques, the property market stayed busy right up until the holidays. We are seeing a move away from “salesy” clichés toward an honest and real market where buyers are inspired by the unique coastal lifestyle our Peninsula offers.
The big news for our community is that Auckland has maintained its solid price base after a busy spring.
Regional Resilience: Auckland prices have held steady, showing that the market has found a healthy, “sound” level as we enter 2026.
National Confidence: Across Aotearoa, we’ve seen a “positive flourish” in activity, with many regions showing annual growth.
Peninsula Appeal: Demand for homes with design and heart remains high, as buyers look for more than just a house—they’re looking for a community.
For Te Atatū locals, this stability is great news, showing that our market is built on expertise and genuine value.
We like to keep things short and simple:
Auctions are Humming: Auctions remain a popular way to buy and sell on the Peninsula, showing that buyers are ready to compete for the right spot.
More Choice: New listings have given buyers more opportunities to find their dream home by the water.
Faster Decisions: Well-presented homes are finding their new owners quickly, as buyers make smart, confident moves.
The warmer weather and settled outlook have definitely added some energy to our local open homes.
