Investment Analysis

In recent years, Christchurch has become an increasingly attractive destination for property investment, driven by strong economic growth and significant reconstruction efforts following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. The city has experienced substantial progress in construction and infrastructure development, opening up a wide range of investment opportunities across residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Unlike the larger urban centers of Auckland and Wellington, where property prices have skyrocketed, making it difficult for many investors and first-home buyers to enter the market, Christchurch remains more affordable.

Investing in property in suburbs like Opawa 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 4.7%, which is competitive compared to the Christchurch average of around 4.0%.
