6月份房市及利息走势分析报告

With the Official Cash Rate (OCR) continuing its gradual decline, New Zealand’s housing market is showing signs of a mild recovery. Yet price gains remain muted and overall activity is still range-bound. Below is our summary of June’s housing market and mortgage rate.

 

June Market summary

 

1. House-price growth remains weak


Nationwide prices rose just 0.1 % in May, bringing the seven-month cumulative increase to 1.3 %. Seasonal factors matter: winter is traditionally a soft period, with smaller gains than the summer peaks.

 

2. Inventory stays elevated


A surge of new listings keeps total stock high, giving buyers ample choice and capping price momentum. Barfoot & Thompson reported 5,831 residential properties on their books at the end of June—evidence of a still-plentiful supply pipeline.

 

3. Sales volumes up, but efficiency flat


Sales volumes continued to rise across the market, indicating growing buyer activity. For example, Barfoot & Thompson recorded 876 property sales in June—representing a 29% increase compared to the same period last year. However, REINZ shows that average days-to-sell ticked back up to 46 (long-run average = 39), and the auction clearance rate hovered at 35–40 %. Transaction speed and conversion rates therefore remain lacklustre.

 

4. Price forecasts revised lower

With supply–demand tension largely balanced, major forecasters have trimmed their full-year 2025 growth call from 4.5 % to 2.5 %, and 2026 from 5.5 % to 5 %.

 

Why the Recovery Is So Tepid?

 

  1. Domestic headwinds – Soft labour-market conditions and squeezed household budgets keep confidence subdued despite solid export figures.
  2. Sticky long-term rates – Short-dated mortgage rates track the OCR closely, but five-year wholesale funding costs are anchored to global yields and have fallen more slowly.
  3. Affordability constraints – Elevated prices plus living-cost pressures mean many buyers’ servicing capacity is near its limit.

 

Mortgage Rate Trends

 

In June, mortgage rates showed the following movements:

 

  • Short-term fixed rates (such as 1-year terms) remained at low levels;
  • Floating rates and long-term fixed rates experienced a slight decline.

 

While the Official Cash Rate (OCR) still has room to fall, the actual impact on mortgage rates may be limited. This is because mortgage pricing is now more closely tied to long-term wholesale rate than to the OCR itself.

 

Summary

 

New Zealand’s property market is currently in a subdued phase. While the market has shown early signs of recovery from the bottom, the pace remains constrained by multiple factors.

Looking ahead, as the OCR continues to fall and the broader economy stabilises, market confidence is expected to gradually improve, paving the way for a clearer upward trend in house prices in 2026.

 



随着官方现金利率(OCR)持续下调,新西兰房地产市场也正在经历一轮温和复苏。然而,房价上涨乏力,市场交易整体仍处于横盘整理阶段。本月我们将为您分析最新的房市动态与贷款利率趋势。


下面我们来看看6月份的市场总结


房地产市场回顾

  • 房价走势依旧疲软

根据最新数据显示,2025年5月全国房价仅上涨0.1%,过去七个月累计涨幅仅1.3%。这一趋势反映出当前房价缺乏强劲上涨动力。季节性因素也不可忽视,冬季历来是房市交易的低谷期,通常房价涨幅低于夏季。


  • 库存高位运行

大量新上市房源使得整体库存水平依然处于高位,为买家提供了充足的选择空间,但也在一定程度上抑制了房价的上涨动力。根据 Barfoot & Thompson 公布的数据,截至 6 月底,其待售住宅数量达到 5,831 套,显示出市场库存依旧充裕。


  • 销售数量上升但销售效率未见改善

尽管成交数量有所增加,但销售效率尚未明显改善。销售天数、成交转化率以及拍卖成交率仍处于横盘状态。

Barfoot & Thompson 6月共售出 876 套住宅,虽较5月的1,072 套下滑 18%,但与去年同期相比增长了 29%。

然而,房屋平均销售天数在 6 月又从44天反弹至 46 天,仍高于历史平均水平(39 天)。

根据 Interest.co.nz 数据,在 6 月 21 日至 27 日期间,共监测到 262 场住宅拍卖,其中有 103 套落槌成交,整体成交率为 39%,略高于前一周的 35%。但是,拍卖成交率基本稳定在 35%-40% 之间,表明市场热度尚未显著回升。


  • 房价预期下调

由于供需紧张度处于相对平衡状态,市场机构已将2025年房价全年增长预期从4.5%下调至2.5%;2026年预期也从5.5%下调至5%。


市场背后的原因分析

虽然OCR自去年起已累计下调225个基点,带动了部分买家回归市场,但为何房价复苏仍不强劲?主要原因包括:

  1. 国内经济疲软与消费信心不足:尽管出口数据良好,但本地就业与家庭财务状况承压,使买家信心受限。
  2. 长期利率下降幅度有限:虽然短期利率(如1年期)随OCR下行而快速下降,但长期利率受全球经济预期和国际利率走势影响,调整速度缓慢。
  3. 购房可负担性依旧紧张:高房价与高生活成本导致大多数家庭还款能力接近上限,制约了房市进一步反弹。


贷款利率分析

  • 6月房贷利率方面出现如下变化:
  • 短期固定利率(如1年期)维持低位;
  • 浮动利率和长期固定利率略有下降;

OCR仍有下降空间,市场普遍预期未来会进一步地降息。

但需要注意的是,OCR的进一步下调,对房贷利率的实际影响可能有限,因为当前银行房贷利率与长期批发利率高度挂钩。

对于倾向等待更低长期利率的客户来说,可以考虑采用短期锁定或多期限组合的方式来应对当前市场的不确定性。如果预期未来几个月利率仍有下降空间,可选择6个月或1年等较短期限的固定利率,以抓住潜在的更低利率机会;也可以将贷款分为1年、2年、3年等不同期限进行锁定,通过多期限组合,既能享受短期低利率带来的优势,又能有效分散未来利率波动带来的风险,实现更平稳的还款安排。


总结

目前新西兰房地产市场处于“低增长+高库存”的疲软期。虽然市场已经从底部回升,但整体复苏节奏仍受多方面因素制约。预计下半年在OCR进一步下调和经济回稳的推动下,市场信心将逐步恢复,房价也有望在明年出现更明确的上涨趋势。
