- Bargain homes are to be had in New Zealand but here’s the catch: floods
New Zealand's flood-prone homes are outperforming the broader housing market, with properties facing high flood risk rising 26.1% in value since January 2020 compared to 19.8% for low-risk homes. Buyers are drawn by discounts of up to NZ$100,000 despite climate-related risks.
