Rental Market Updates

Where Auckland rents, supply and demand actually sit, written from the data behind 1,200+ managed properties. Published quarterly, free to read, free to quote.

How we measure it

Most rental commentary is built on new listings, which is a different thing to what is actually available to rent. We publish both, and we say which is which.

What each update covers

  • Median rent for Auckland and every major region, with the year-on-year direction
  • Total properties available to rent, not just new listings, and why the two disagree
  • Demand indicators including net migration and tenant search volumes
  • The OCR and interest rate picture as it affects landlords
  • What it means in practice for a rent review due this quarter

Sources are named in each edition. Where a figure comes from our own portfolio rather than a public dataset, we say so.
