New Zealand’s standing in the global index comes as the New Zealand government confirmed August 14 that it will introduce a previously proposed purchasing New Zealand resale real estate. Overseas purchasers will still be able to buy new presale homes, and Australian and Singaporean buyers are exempt from the ban.
