When trust matters most, our performance stood up.
In 2025's subdued market, we delivered stronger than ever results supported by growth across premium and regional markets. It’s a result made possible by the trust you place in our agents’ expertise, integrity and capability, and the strength of the brand behind them.
If 2025 had a national mood, it was ‘cautious’. With economic uncertainty lingering, buyers were more measured, and the market recovery took longer than expected to show up.
In that kind of market, trust becomes the difference. Trust in the expertise, integrity and capability of the agent you partner with to represent your most valuable asset. No promises, just outcomes.
That’s what 2025 delivered. Because you trusted us with the responsibility of representing your property, we outperformed the market again - converting careful buyer demand into decisive results, even against the backdrop of a subdued national year.
2025 results, delivered.
In a year where buyers were selective, our growth came from doing the fundamentals exceptionally well and helping vendors achieve decisive outcomes.
Even in a cautious market, buyer confidence at the top end translated into more deals.
In the high-end segment, value growth reflected stronger price points and quality demand.

As Co-Founder and Managing Director Mark Harris notes “these achievements are more than just numbers. They’re a testament to the trust our clients place in us, and the commitment of our agents across New Zealand.”
Regional heavy lifters
While the national picture stayed mixed, our strongest momentum came through lifestyle and regional markets where quality still drives decisive action and where trusted advice matters most.
Queenstown continued to attract high demand for trophy lifestyle homes, while Nelson stood out for enduring lifestyle appeal and scarcity of supply at the premium end. Hawke’s Bay remained a consistent performer for buyers seeking space, community and quality lifestyle properties. Christchurch and the wider Canterbury market strengthened throughout the year, supported by downsizers and premium buyers. Northland continued to draw blue-chip coastal buyers, while Waikato’s high-end lifestyle market went from strength to strength.
These are the markets where quality homes don’t need hype. They need the right agent to expose them to serious buyers, and negotiate with confidence.
Lustre returns to luxury
High-end momentum was the other defining storyline of our year. $5m+ activity lifted meaningfully across 2025, with growth in both volume and value, as quality listings were effectively promoted through our high-net-worth client channels and global network.
“Activity in our flagship luxury lifestyle markets of Auckland, particularly Takapuna, Ponsonby and the Eastern Bays, has never faltered,” says Managing Director Mark Harris. “The high end, for us, has been the cornerstone of our business in 2025.”
Just as importantly, confidential sales and off-market introductions remained a major advantage for vendors who value privacy, control and qualified buyer access. Discretion is part of our trusted representation, and is highly valued by our clients.
Notable high-end sales include 25 Park Avenue, Takapuna (sold for over $12 million), 92 Paritai Drive, Orākei (sold for $18 million) and Brunswick Street, Queenstown (sold for more than $30 million).

Trust is proven through outcomes. If you’re considering a move in 2026, let’s talk about the right strategy to position your home and reach the buyers who matter.
