Auckland Rental Market Update

Stay up to date with Auckland’s rental market.

Proudly presenting the latest residential rental data as supplied by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ).

Please note: According to MBIE, by removing the most recent month of data, this provides a more complete and accurate picture of all bonds lodged by tenancy start date. Therefore, this report is two months in arrears as per the data provided by MBIE.

In some Auckland areas, we’re seeing the median weekly rent return to the levels we experienced at the same time last year. Or, in some cases, even noting Auckland rents decreasing. 

In August 2024, the average weekly rent for three-bedroom rental properties in Kingsland was $830. Compare this to $760 in August last year and you’ll see a 9.2% increase in rent prices.

In Mangere, the median rent for a three-bedroom home was $700 per week, a 2.9% increase from $680 the year previous. 

If you’re unsure about what rent you should be charging, please get in touch with our team today for a complimentary rental appraisal.

A Note from us,

A recent survey of 350 property investors reveals a record-low interest in expanding property portfolios, with only 17% considering a purchase within the next year—down from 20% last month and 22% a year ago. This figure peaked at 29% in September 2022, just before the credit restrictions took effect.

Economist Tony Alexander highlights that 80% of investors plan to increase rents in the coming year, slightly higher than the 77% historical average.

Many landlords report it is progressively harder to find good tenants, reflected in their desire to keep their current tenants rather than seek new ones.

Please Note: These market rent statistics have been provided by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. The data has been derived from information gathered from bonds lodged at the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) – Tenancy Bond Services. 

However, these results may not be a true representation of the entire housing market. They are only a reflection of rental properties where bonds have been lodged at the MBIE – Tenancy Bond Services. 

This report is two months in arrears as per the data provided by MBIE. Removing the most recent month of data provides a more complete and accurate picture of all bonds lodged. This is because the most recent month’s data is incomplete. This is due to the time taken between a bond being lodged (23 working days) and the database being updated.
