Whangamata market report: September 2026 edition

The linked September 2026 localised report presents data through August 2026. Its rolling figures describe the preceding 12 months; they are not the number of sales or the median for August alone.

Read the September 2026 Whangamata market report.

The report identifies REINZ as its price and sales source and RECONZ for listings data. Sales are recorded when unconditional, and figures can be revised as further data arrives. Its commentary is automated; use the underlying period and definitions when comparing figures.

What this means when assessing a property

A rolling median smooths a small market’s month-to-month variation, but it is not a valuation of your home. The properties that sold, their condition, location and ownership arrangements affect the result. Asking prices, achieved prices, a rating value and an appraisal also measure different things.

For a selling decision, compare relevant completed sales with the property itself and current competition. A days-to-sell figure is historical context, not a predicted timeframe for your campaign. A rental assessment needs its own evidence and cost assumptions.

Historical quarterly review: April to June 2026

The office’s Q2 2026 Market Review records 34 Whangamata sales with a total value of $35,004,500 and a quarterly median of $958,000. These are market-wide figures across agencies, not Ray White Whangamata’s own sales total. The report’s methodology identifies unconditional sales recorded with REINZ data and information collected from local real estate businesses as available at publication.

Read the complete Q2 2026 review and sales schedule. Its quarterly figures use a different window from the rolling figures above, so they should not be read as a direct month-to-month movement.

Did the quarter include sales below $1 million?

Yes. The Q2 schedule includes 5/106 Barbara Avenue at $332,500, 205A Otahu Road at $588,000, 112B Sharyn Place at $665,000 and 504 Williamson Road at $930,000. These are historical sales of different properties, not examples of homes currently available at those prices. Compare the property type and circumstances before using an address as evidence for another home.

What did the review show at the higher end?

The Q2 schedule records 209 Kiwi Road at $2,475,000 and 203A Graham Street at $2,085,000, alongside 202 Beverley Terrace at $1,701,000, 224 Rangi Avenue at $1,520,000 and 205 Tamaki Road at $1,510,000. These examples show the range of transactions in that quarter; they do not establish that every coastal home commands the same price or that demand is unchanged today.
