New Zealand publishes genuinely good rental data. It is also buried in a quarterly spreadsheet keyed to statistical area codes, so almost nobody outside the industry ever sees it. A tenant deciding whether their rent is fair, or an investor sizing up a suburb, is left with listing-site averages and hearsay.
SuburbIQ closes that gap: take the official record, map it to the suburb names people actually use, and publish it as one clear page per suburb — free, without a sign-up wall, and with the working shown.
SuburbIQ is built by Amit Sharma, an award-winning Auckland real-estate agent working with property owners across the region. The rent data here is the same data he uses in appraisals. If you are weighing up selling, buying an investment, or renting out a property, you can request a free appraisal — and if you just want the numbers, take them and go, with no obligation at all.
If a suburb is grouped wrongly, a figure looks off, or a suburb you care about is missing, we want to know. How each number is produced is set out on the methodology page; corrections can be sent through the contact form.
SuburbIQ carries advertising through Google AdSense, which keeps the data free to access. Ads never influence the figures — every number is generated automatically from the MBIE dataset before a page is written.
