New Zealand’s most popular suburbs of 2023
House hunters in 2023 have been looking for bargains – even in the country’s most expensive suburbs.
New research from OneRoof shows eight of the 10 most searched suburbs this year are in Auckland, including two of the most prized for school parents, double grammar zoned Remuera and Mount Eden.
The two non-Auckland suburbs to feature on the list are Papamoa, in Tauranga, and Waipa, in Cambridge, both high-value neighbourhoods.
In Auckland, the most-searched suburb on OneRoof in the first five months of the year was Auckland Central, where the average property value is $588,000.
Searches for properties in the suburb, which is dominated by affordable one-bedroom apartments, were up 77.4% on the first five months of 2022.
Upmarket Remuera was the next most popular suburb, with searches in the suburb up 65.4% year-on-year. The wealthy enclave is home to some of New Zealand’s most expensive homes, but for the average property hunter it is also highly desirable as much of the suburb, like neighbouring Mount Eden, is zoned for top schools Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls.
Remuera’s average property value is $2.662 million, but some homes in the suburb have fetched more than $20 million this year.
Flat Bush, in Auckland’s south east, was the country’s third most searched location.
Ray White Flat Bush branch manager Ken Ralph says the suburb is changing daily with the amount of building going on, which is probably what is drawing eyes there.
“It’s most probably the new housing has attracted people there. All through Flat Bush there it’s all very new developments, new houses,” he says.
“Every week there’s new neighbourhoods developed out there. A lot of them are quite substantial, four to six to eight-bedroom homes so quite spacious family homes.”
New services have gone in, including schooling and the Ormiston Town Centre, and there are new businesses.
Ralph says people are attracted to brand-new or very new and the interest probably reflects a trend of people not wanting to have to upgrade an existing home.
Other suburbs in the top 10 list include Papatoetoe, Henderson and Pukekohe, which boast some of Auckland’s most affordable houses.
In Wellington, the most searched suburbs were TeAro in the inner city, Mt Victoria in central Wellington and Tawa in the north towards Porirua.
TeAro saw over 135% more searches year-on-year while Tawa had an increase of 68.8% – but Mt Victoria stood out with 408.3% more searches.
Professionals RedCoats co-owner Paul Dickason says probably people are thinking it’s a good time to try to get a bargain in Mt Victoria, which is a well-established and tightly-held suburb.
The suburb of Queenstown attracted the most searches with Jack’s Point third, but the Dalefield/Wakatipu Basin area, where the average property value is $4.6m, saw searches increase by 259%.
The biggest settled sale to date this year was in Dalefield with $15.08m paid for a Haggitt Lane property marketed by New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty agents.
The average value for Queenstown was $1.57m with searches up 53.8%, and for Jack’s Point, average value $1.808m, searches were up 66%.
Premium agent Hamish Walker says he regularly meets with Aucklanders and Australians who are interested in property in Queenstown.
When people buy there they often reflect what’s happening in their own market, be that Christchurch, Auckland or Sydney.
“If you watch those markets like I do they often coincide. Last month I personally sold just over $15m, about maybe 10% to Australian buyers, another 10% to Aucklanders and the rest are sort of locals.

“저처럼그시장을지켜보면종종일치하는경우가있다. 지난달에저는개인적으로$15M가조금넘는부동산을팔았는데, 10% 정도는호주구매자에게, 나머지 10%는Auckland주민에게, 나머지는로컬들에게팔았다.
