Latest News
Auckland’s House Prices Stable In October
The Auckland residential housing market’s price stability continued in October, with the median selling price increasing to $950,000.
“While October’s median selling prices increased by 2.2 percent during the month this is not an indication prices were on the move, rather it is a signal that prices are stabilising around the $950,000 mark,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“Buyers are not yet prepared to put aside their caution.
“It does point to the market having reached a sound price base, and one from which it can face the summer trading season with growing confidence.
“The Auckland market is still waiting for a recovering economy to give it that final push.
“The average sales price for October at $1,079,030, was
within 1 percent of September’s average price, and it too has been stable for 3 months.
“Sales numbers at 930 for the month were down 9.9 percent on those for September, and 4 percent lower than in October last year but it still represents a solid month’s trading.
“Sales in the under $750,000 price category continue to have a strong pull on the median price, with a quarter of all sales in the month falling into this price category. Two years ago, they represented only 16 percent of sales in October.
“It underlines the influence lower cost town houses and apartments are having on the nature of Auckland’s housing stock, and median and average sales prices.
“The arrival of spring has seen the traditional strong rise in new listings with 2167 new properties being listed, an increase over
those for September of 21.7 percent.
“At month’s end we had 6024 properties on our books, the highest level in 3 months.
“The rural and lifestyle markets experienced modest trading during October, with sales turnover of $38 million being the lowest month’s trading this year.”
Peter Thompson Managing Director

FROM SALE TO SETTLEMENT
TOP TIPS
Why working with Barfoot & Thompson can help sell your home.
In our recent editions we have discussed the steps involved in selling your home, from getting ready to sell right through to the ins and outs of offers and negotiations. This article examines what happens after the sale, and on settlement day.
Remember we have more information and a range of videos on our website to help you make the very best choices. barfoot.co.nz/sell/selling-guide
Congratulations: your property has sold!
After the bubbly has been popped and the celebrations are over, our clients often ask us: “Now what?” Not to worry, the route from sale to settlement is a relatively straight forward one, and your Barfoot & Thompson sales person will guide you every step of the way. Now what?
What do I need to do?
Unconditional vs. Settlement
Once the agreement you have signed “goes unconditional” it is legally binding, meaning both you and the purchaser now have to fulfil obligations specified in the contract in order for the property to change owership.
Deposit
Upon the sale of the property, the purchaser is required to pay a deposit. We will hold this deposit in the Barfoot & Thompson trust account for 10 working days.
We’ll work with both solicitors directly during this process and will let you know once the deposit has been transferred to your solicitor’s bank account.
Keys on Settlement
On settlement day, the remainder of the purchase price of the property is paid to you, and the Property Title is transfered to the purchaser, who will then be the new owner.
We’ll hold your house keys at our Barfoot & Thompson office until your solicitor advises us in writing that the above has taken place, at which point they’ll be made available for the new owner to collect. We won’t release your keys until we are legally entitled to do so.
There is a number of things you’re required to do as part of your duties as a vendor:
• You must ensure all chattels included in the sale are in reasonable working order on settlement date. Excepting fair wear and tear, they should be in the same condition they were in on the date of sale. If there is any significant damage, the purchaser is entitled to compensation from you.
• You must ensure all bills for electricity, gas, water and rates on the property are up to date. There should be no outstanding charges on the accounts on settlement day.
Before Settlement:
• Make an appointment with your bank to discuss your financial arrangements for settlement day, and to sign the necessary financial documents.
• Make an appointment with your solicitor. You’ll need to arrange to sign the necessary legal documents to transfer the property from your name into that of the new owners.
• Organise the move! Arrange for someone to look after your children or elderly family members during the packing/ moving process if required. Book a moving company if you’re using one, and start collecting boxes and newspaper to pack your things in.
• Arrange the transfer of water, telephone, electricity and gas services. You’ll need to contact your service providers to notify them that you’re moving, and have all services at the property transferred from your name. You’ll also need to arrange final readings on the day of your move.
• Transfer any other services and organise your change of address.
• If your property is tenanted, you may have arranged with the purchaser that the tenants stay on under the new ownership. If so, this should have been included in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. If not, the property must be vacant on settlement date.
On Settlement Day:
• If the property is sold with vacant possession, then you must let the purchaser (or anyone authorised by them in writing) complete a property check prior to settlement. They’ll check the condition of the property, including the chattels and fixtures that are included in the sale. They must give you reasonable notice for this visit.
• On the day of possession, you must make all keys available to the purchaser.
• The set of keys should include all exterior door keys, electronic door openers and keys or codes to any alarms on the property. If the property is tenanted, however, these items will remain with the tenant(s).
It’s good to remember that in between the date of sale and the date of settlement, the property and chattels remain in your name. This means you are responsible for any damage that may occur between the sale and the settlement date.
