New Zealand to allow some wealthy foreign investors onto property market

The policy permits foreign investor visa holders to purchase or build luxury homes worth NZ$5 million or more, aiming to attract over NZ$1.8 billion in investment to support economic recovery.

  • New Zealand will allow wealthy foreign investors holding golden visas to purchase luxury residential properties worth at least NZ$5 million to attract investment and revive its sluggish economy.
  • The move partially reverses a 2018 ban on foreign home buyers that was introduced to cool a runaway housing market fueled by property speculation.
  • Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the change would boost economic growth by luring wealthy foreigners during a recession and applications could result in up to NZ$1.8 billion in investment.
