Dame Jacinda Ardern and Clarke Gayford have sold their home in the Auckland suburb of Sandringham [1, 2].
The sale marks a final physical detachment from New Zealand for the former leader, who has relocated her family to Australia [3].
Ardern, who led the nation and the Labour Party between 2017 and 2023, originally purchased the central Auckland property in 2018 [1, 4]. The final sale price of the residence remains undisclosed. The property was listed on the market after Ardern moved her family across the Tasman [3].
Records show that the property was previously valued at $1.74 million [1]. The home is located in Sandringham, a residential area in central Auckland [1, 2].
While the specific date of the transaction was not provided, the sale follows the former Prime Minister's transition into a private life outside of New Zealand. Ardern and Gayford had maintained the residence since the 2018 purchase [1].

The divestment of her primary New Zealand residence signals a permanent shift in Ardern's personal and professional center of gravity. By selling the Sandringham property, the former Prime Minister completes the logistical transition to Australia, removing a significant domestic tie to her home country following her 2023 departure from political leadership.
