Investment Analysis
In recent years, Christchurch has undergone a remarkable transformation, driven by extensive reconstruction efforts following the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. This revitalisation has sparked a surge in construction and infrastructure projects, creating numerous investment opportunities within the residential property market.
Compared to major urban centres like Auckland and Wellington, Christchurch offers a relatively affordable property market. This is particularly advantageous in a high-interest rate environment where entry-level investment in other main cities can be financially challenging for many investors. For example, as of May 2024, the median house price in Christchurch was $678,000, significantly lower than Auckland's $1,212,000 and the national median of $770,000.
Investing in property in suburbs like Waltham presents a compelling opportunity, mainly due to its convenient access to a wide range of local amenities. Situated on the edge of the central city, Waltham provides residents easy access to supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, and recreational areas, all within walking distance or a short commute. This accessibility enhances residents' quality of life and increases the area's desirability for potential tenants and buyers.
Investors considering properties within this development can expect attractive rental yields of up to 5.7%, which is competitive compared to the Christchurch average of around 4.0%.
