Average Asking Property Price in Christchurch Remains Lower Than Other Major NZ Centers, Realestate.co.nz Says

-- The average asking price for a property in Christchurch in March held steady over the past three years and remained lower than other main centers in New Zealand, data from realestate.co.nz showed on Friday.

The average asking price for a property was NZ$715,039, up 1.6% from March 2025 and more than NZ$150,000 under the national average asking price of NZ$887,162.

The price gap could make Christchurch the most accessible major center for property seekers in the country, Vanessa Williams, spokesperson for realestate.co.nz, said.

The average asking price in Auckland was just over NZ$1.2 million in March, while Wellington's was NZ$904,333, the report said.
