Dunedin
Dunedin is a university and healthcare city with stable student demand but a small, remote resale pool. In the New Zealand beta page it should be read as a practical diligence market, not a headline destination: tenant depth, local regulation, exit liquidity and building-level permissions decide the outcome. Demand is mainly supported by University of Otago, Healthcare, Heritage tourism, while the investor case is strongest as a selective buy-and-hold allocation. For Israeli buyers, the key is to verify title, bank/KYC, tax registration, local property management and STR legality before relying on gross yield. The row therefore uses conservative sourced fields and keeps unsupported STR yield cells null rather than inventing performance.

All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
Market Review — Dunedin
New Zealand is institutionally clean but foreign-buyer access is the central gating item. Auckland carries most liquidity; Wellington and Christchurch offer different employment and affordability profiles.
For Israeli buyers, the work begins with OIO/LINZ eligibility, tax status and bank lending. NZD exposure can be material, and long travel distance increases management friction.
CASABROVA treats New Zealand as a quality market with a hard access filter. Do not price a deal until counsel confirms the buyer and property class are eligible.
