The Cambridge property market continues to show steady activity as we move through the current selling season, with both buyers and sellers adjusting to a more balanced and considered market than we’ve seen in recent years.
After the rapid price growth experienced during the post-COVID boom, the market has shifted into a phase where realistic pricing, strong presentation, and smart marketing strategies are key to achieving a successful sale.
What we’re seeing in Cambridge right now
Buyers have more choice
Property listings have increased compared to previous years, giving buyers more options. This means homes need to stand out through presentation, pricing, and marketing.
Serious buyers are still active
Despite more cautious decision-making, motivated buyers remain in the market — particularly young families relocating to Cambridge for lifestyle, schooling, and community benefits.
Quality homes continue to perform
Well-presented properties in good locations are still achieving strong results, especially when priced correctly and marketed effectively.
Time on market varies
Homes that launch with realistic expectations and good campaign momentum often sell within typical timeframes. Overpriced properties tend to sit longer and require later price adjustments.
Why Cambridge remains attractive to buyers
Cambridge continues to attract buyers from Auckland, Hamilton, and surrounding regions thanks to:
• A strong community feel
• Quality schooling options
• Lifestyle balance and open spaces
• Easy commuting access
• Growing local amenities and development
For families in particular, Cambridge remains one of Waikato’s most desirable towns.
What this means if you’re thinking of selling
In the current market, strategy matters more than ever. Sellers who succeed are those who:
- Price realistically from day one
- Present their property well
- Use targeted marketing to reach the right buyers
- Remain flexible during negotiations
Choosing the right sales strategy — whether Auction, Deadline Sale, or Price by Negotiation — can also significantly impact results.
