Rolleston
Najib Real Estate | Market Report
Market Commentary
Across New Zealand, the property market is no longer in the rapid-growth phase seen during the low-interest-rate years. The OCR is currently 2.25%, and inflation is 3.1% year-on-year, meaning interest rates, household costs, and affordability continue to shape buyer behaviour. For homeowners, this creates a more measured market where confidence is improving, but buyers are still cautious. Buyers are not simply purchasing because rates are lower. They are comparing value, repayments, presentation, and long-term suitability before making a decision. Rolleston remains one of Selwyn’s most active property markets. Over the past six months, the town recorded 213 residential sales, although this was down 25.8%. The Rolleston median selling price was $775,000, showing no change, while the highest residential sale reached $1,845,000. This suggests that although the number of sales has reduced, prices have remained relatively stable across the broader market. Median days on market for Rolleston sat at 37.5 days, down 3.85%, showing that homes are still selling within a reasonable timeframe when priced and presented correctly. Najib Real Estate’s results stood out against the wider market, with a median selling price of $812,750 and median days on market of 19.5 days. Compared with the wider Rolleston median of 37.5 days, this indicates that strong campaign execution, clear pricing, presentation, and buyer management can still create stronger outcomes, even in a more selective market. The monthly median house sale price graph shows that Rolleston has moved through a softer period after the peak, but prices appear to have stabilised in a narrower range recently. The number of houses sold monthly remains comparatively high, which reflects Rolleston’s scale, population growth, and continued appeal to families, first-home buyers, Christchurch commuters, and people looking for newer homes with more space.
The annual sales data shows Rolleston’s median house sale price has grown from $510,000 in 2013 to $777,700 in 2025. The strongest growth came through 2021 and 2022, when the median rose sharply, before softening in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, the median increased slightly by 0.35%, showing a relatively stable market rather than a rapidly rising one. Median days to sell increased to 42 days in 2025, which reinforces that buyers have more choice and are taking longer to commit. Rolleston’s higher-end market remains active, with the top residential sales ranging from $1,100,000 to $1,845,000 over the past six months. The top lifestyle sale reached $3,050,000, showing there is still buyer depth at the upper end when the right property is presented to the market. However, higher-value buyers are generally more selective, especially around land size, home design, garaging, location, privacy, and overall finish. One of the important things to watch in Rolleston is the ongoing growth of new subdivisions and housing supply. Rolleston has always been attractive because it offers newer homes, family-friendly amenities, schools, parks, and relative affordability compared with many parts of Christchurch. However, as more homes and sections are developed, buyers have more options to compare. It will be interesting to see how continued growth affects pricing, buyer expectations, and competition between established homes and new builds over time. Overall, Rolleston remains a strong long-term growth market, but the current environment rewards strategy. Sellers need to stand out through pricing, presentation, and marketing. Buyers have more choice than they did during the peak, but well-located, well-presented homes are still attracting attention. Whether you’re thinking about selling, buying, or simply trying to understand where your property sits in the current market, the key is having the right information before making your next move. If you’re planning a move in Rolleston, feel free to get in touch. I am your Selwyn specialist - Nathan Najib.
A little about Nathan Najib
Sixteen years ago I had a vision: to create the world’s most customer-centric real estate company. The excitement of shaping an organisation that excels at every level drives and motivates me every single day. To those of you who know Nathan, you will know that he is passionate about people, real estate, and being the best person you can be. And this passion comes through in everything he does, in both his personal and business life. He has a desire to change to world of real estate from something it should never have been, to an industry that supports the community, and where transparency is the key. Nathan started out in the real estate business at 19, and by 23 he was recognised as being one of the best in the industry, an up and coming force to be watched and emulated. However, Nathan felt there was something fundamentally wrong with the industry and wanted to make a difference. Not many people are brave enough to say, "enough is enough" and then do something about it, but Nathan did just that. He decided to create and build his own vision: to create the most people-focussed real estate company on earth. Often real estate is associated with low standards, but Najib Real Estate holds close the philosophy that the interest of the client always comes first. Najib Real Estate is a values-based organisation, and its core values serve as a foundation for which this change is continuing to be built: Health, Humility, Excellence, Growth & Recognition. We believe that by keeping our vision and our values at the fore, we can create an agency that proudly stands out from the crowd: A unique company that provides an exceptional personalised service to our clients and customers, while building a passionate, people-oriented organisation, where we continually strive for excellence.
