Investment Analysis
Tauranga's real estate market is experiencing a surge in popularity, evidenced by its January 2024 median sale price of $900,000, which exceeds the national median of $800,000. However, this heightened demand is met with limited supply, as indicated by only 12 newly built townhouse listings on TradeMe as of February 2024.
Tauranga's scarcity of townhouse rentals accentuates the urgent need for quality rental properties. Historical data underscores the market's potential, with Tauranga's peak occurring between May and September 2022, boasting a median sale price of $1,020,000, surpassing the national average.
Investing in Tauranga's townhouse market presents opportunities for capital appreciation and rental income. By addressing the demand for warm rentals, investors can capitalise on a lucrative market and contribute to fulfilling the community's housing needs, thereby fostering positive growth in the local economy.
