As New Zealanders engage in conversations around equity in property ownership, CoreLogic has commissioned new research into property ownership among men and women across the country.
- Cotality's proprietary data shows that 22.4% of property in New Zealand is owned by one or more females, 22.8% by one or more males, and 54.7% is in mixed gender ownership.
- Women are ahead when it comes to ownership of owner-occupied property, with female-only (23.1%) ownership being slightly larger than male-only ownership (20.9%).
- Ownership of investment property continues to skew towards men, with male-only ownership (26.1%) presenting a significant edge over female-only (21.9%) ownership.
This year we used an updated survey methodology to deliver new and unique insights into home ownership rates among women and men, as well as differences in motivations, attitudes and barriers to getting on the property ladder.
Don't miss the fifth annual edition of the report to understand the state of home ownership for men and women across the country - and how the equity gap in property comes into play.
