Stand-Alone Houses Lead Annual Rise In Home Consents
There were 33,979 new homes consented in Aotearoa New Zealand in the year ended June 2025, up 1.0 percent compared with the year ended June 2024, according to figures released by Stats NZ today.
“This is the first time in two years that we have recorded annual growth in the number of new homes consented,” economic indicators spokesperson Michelle Feyen said.
The lift was largely due to a 6.3 percent rise in stand-alone house consents, reaching 15,858.
In contrast, consents for multi-unit homes fell 3.2 percent to 18,121 in the year ended June 2025.
Multi-unit homes include townhouses, apartments, retirement village units, and flats.
