Wellington
Wellington is a government, technology and university market with constrained land but weather, seismic and public-sector risk. 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 Government employment, Technology, Universities, 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.

Market Review — Wellington
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.
