-- 根據Cotality和Westpac週五發布的報告,紐西蘭首次購屋者在第一季的購屋量佔全國房產交易總量的27.5%,略低於2025年第四季創下的28.2%的歷史最高紀錄。 報告顯示,在整體市場更加活躍的情況下,首次購屋者的購屋量也在增加:過去12個月,他們購買了約24,800套房產,這是自2021年第三季以來的最高年度總量。 報告指出:「首次購屋者的強勁勢頭遍及全國,市場份額高於自2005年以來的長期平均水平。」報告還指出,在惠靈頓地區,首次購房者佔第一季房產交易總量的37%,比該地區的平均水平高出約8個百分點。 低首付貸款的普及也推動了首次購屋者的購屋活動。紐西蘭央行近期的數據顯示,超過一半的首次購屋貸款首付比例低於20%。報告指出:“展望未來,儘管購房仍然充滿挑戰,但對於首次購房者而言,情況應該會保持相對有利。”
