There were 2,418 new homes consented in April 2025, down 17 percent compared with April 2024, according to figures released by Stats NZ today.

“The drop in number of new homes consented in April 2025 may have been impacted by the timing of Easter weekend and Anzac Day, with people potentially taking time off in between,” economic indicators spokesperson Michelle Feyen said.

Of the 2,418 new homes consented, there were:

• 1,148 stand-alone houses consented (down 15 percent compared with April 2024)
• 1,270 multi-unit homes consented (down 19 percent).
