Top end buyers return to Auckland residential housing market
The Auckland housing market is the latest sector to show an improvement in economic activity, with November’s prices being the highest recorded this year.
“There was a marked increase in prices during November with buyers returning in strength to the top end of the market,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“The median price for the month at $995,000 increased over that for last month by 4.7 percent and the average price at $1,181,829, increased by 9.5 percent.
“They are the largest monthly increases we have seen this year and have broken a 4-month hiatus where prices showed little movement.
“While sales activity and prices invariably increase modestly in November as we head into the Christmas and New Year break, this year’s increase was based on a change in sentiment as to future market direction.
“The improved prices led to a subtle shift from it being a total buyers’ market, with buyers sensing that now might be the time to act.
“Sales at 969 for the month increased by 4.2 percent on those in October and were 2 percent higher than the average number for the previous 3 months.
“A feature of November’s trading was the return to the market of buyers in the $2
to $3 million price category. In November we sold 71 homes in this price category, more than double the number sold in the previous month. We also sold 21 homes for more than $3 million.
“While sales of property in the under $750,000 price category remained popular, they accounted for 22 percent of all sales. The average for the previous three-months was 26 percent of sales.
“Participation in the housing market by buyers in the top end of the market has been quiet for many months but they are now starting to return.
“New listings remained positive at 1,867, and our month end stock of 6102 was an increase of 1.3 percent on that at the end of the previous month.
“Rural and lifestyle property sales also experienced a lift in sales activity with sales for the month at $49 million, an increase of 28 percent on October’s sales.”

GETTING YOUR HOUSE READY TO SELL IN SUMMER
Summer is a hot time of the year to sell and recent promising median price gains are compelling people to reconsider waiting to put their home on the market.
Additionally, properties available for sale have increased and sales activity is recovering. So in short, there are currently many opportunities for vendors willing to make a move now. Here are five things that you can do to ensure your property is presented at its best.
1. Get an appraisal
Our salespeople are expertly skilled at assessing value and they integrate their knowledge of the neighbourhood and the current market. Appraisals are pressurefree and come with zero obligation.
2. Think about first impressions
Before a buyer enters your home, they’ve already formed an opinion based on what they’ve seen from the road. Freshly cut lawns, a well cared for garden or hedge, clean paintwork on the house exterior and water blasted concrete and fences make a huge difference and will make the buyer want to step inside.
3. Declutter and clean
Remove clutter from all your spaces so that potential buyers can visualise themselves in the house. This includes removing very personalised art and family photos.
With Barfoot & Thompson, not only do you have the strength of Auckland’s largest and most trusted real estate company behind you, you also have 1,700+ salespeople working for you.Feel free to drop in at a branch, call, or contact us online.
4. Repairs and renovations
Get to those repairs that you have been putting off. Embrace your inner DIY-er and tackle things like plaster cracks, leaks, rusty squeaky hinges, cracked glass and other things that people will notice.
5. Stage the house for buyers
While it is not a must-do to put your home on the market, it is at least worth a little research and a couple of calls to see what home staging would run you.
Our salespeople have all the experience you need and are happy to provide you with more advice and information. Feel free to drop in at a branch, call, or contact us online.
