This website is a place to publish analysis I do for myself and make it available for others.
I collect rental listings and prices for the Wellington region to enable a reliable interpretation of the state of the market for decisions on the fair rents for my properties.
The trends also provide me with hints on the best locations to either invest or sell where I have invested earlier. Property markets are often changing and Wellington is no exception.

Example analysis
Trademe Listings are a useful way of understanding the Wellington urban rental market (includes Porirua and the Hutt's). The chart below shows that during 2009, listings increased from roughly 1100 to almost 1500. By the middle of 2010 the market appears to have reached a new standard, with a pronounced dip during the RWC, to return to a seasonal pattern in January 2012.
