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

TIME TO SELL!

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 Open Homes. This month, we explore what to expect when the time has come to look at offers...

Remember we have more information and a range of videos to help you make the very best choices on our website, barfoot. co.nz

barfoot.co.nz/sell/selling-guide

Now it gets exciting!

Your home has been noticed and buyers want to proceed with an offer.

As we all know: where there are offers, often negotiation is involved!

How an offer is made, along with the particular terms and conditions on which a sale depends, will be determined to some extent by the method of sale you have chosen. In every case, your Barfoot & Thompson Salesperson will be there at every step to guide and assist you - and liaise between you and the buyer.

Auction

When selling by auction you will have set terms and conditions of sale together with our auction department and your solicitor. This is recorded in an agreement that will be sent to interested parties during the marketing campaign so they are fully informed before auction day.

During the weeks leading up to the auction, a buyer might ask for a variation on your terms and conditions. For example, a party may ask you to agree to a different possession date, should they be the highest bidder on the day. This is formally documented and signed off by

both parties well before the auction; and the decision to agree or not is always yours.

Sometimes, an acceptable offer is made before auction day, which may lead to the auction being brought forward, this is referred to as a pre-auction offer. In this scenario, the acceptable offer serves as the opening bid, while other interested parties are given the opportunity to bid upward from there.

Sellers guide to auctions

barfoot.co.nz/sell/selling-methods/ guide-to-auctions

Buyers guide to auctions

pages for both buyers and sellers including videos from our salespeople and top auctioneers.

Once the property has sold under the hammer, you and the purchaser are asked to sign the contract documenting the sale, which will then be distributed to your and their solicitor for processing. Arrangements for a deposit are made (usually by cheque or by bank transfer the same day), and the remainder of the purchase price is due on settlement day. Should the property not sell at auction, then there is room for conditional buyers to enter the arena and an agreement can be negotiated.

Negotiation

If you have decided to sell by negotiation offers can be presented at any point. As with auctions and tenders, offers are presented in writing on a sale and purchase agreement. You will look at the terms and conditions in the agreement, as well as the price in order to determine whether you would like to accept or negotiate further via a counter offer.

Once the offer is accepted, you sign a final document and the agreement will be distributed to the solicitors. If the agreement is contingent on conditions, then the purchaser has a number of working days specified to satisfy these and the agreement becomes unconditional once this completes - meaning your property has sold!

Sometimes an unconditional offer is made where the only aspect left to negotiate is price. This is called a ‘cash unconditional’ offer and once both parties agree on the price, the property is sold.

Tender

If you have decided to sell by tender, your salesperson will present you with offers at the set day and time the tender closes. The terms and conditions in the agreement as well as the offered price will help determine which offer you would like to accept or whether you would like to negotiate further.

Offers are private and confidential - they are for your consideration, for which you are allowed to allocate a time frame of five working days. The terms and conditions in the agreement, as well as the offered price will be determining factors in your decision which offer you would like to accept or negotiate further.

Once an offer is accepted, you will sign it and the agreement will be distributed to the solicitors for processing. If the agreement is contingent on conditions, then the purchaser has a number of working days specified to satisfy these. When these conditions complete, the agreement becomes unconditional and the property is sold. During this period your sales person as well as your solicitor will be working together with the buying party to facilitate the sale at every step.
