The NZ property market may see a recovery in 2025, with economists from Kiwibank and ANZ forecasting interest rate cuts that could improve affordability and boost buyer demand.

Several factors are expected to support price increases, including:

- Population growth

- Investor-friendly policies

- Slowing construction rates
