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

TOP TIPS

Why working with Barfoot & Thompson can help sell your home.

Congratulations, you’re on the market! In our recent editions we’ve discussed getting ready to sell, different sale methods and the tools for your marketing campaign.

Open home schedule

During the first week of your campaign, we will introduce your property to our colleagues from Barfoot & Thompson. Internally, we call this a ‘caravan’ – our salespeople will view your home on the Tuesday morning before the first open home. Your listing agent will confirm times with you and the caravan will include agents from surrounding branches.

Our salespeople will visit to familiarise themselves with your property, so they know more about your home and can then contact their own personal databases of potential purchasers. This is an important first step to maximise exposure in the market and ensures

Preparing for an open home

that the Barfoot & Thompson team is working hard for you.

Your salesperson will have most likely set an open home calendar with you when they listed your property. Open homes are generally held on the weekend, on some occasions they may be supplemented by mid-week times or special viewings. We usually run an open home for a period of 30 minutes, but your agent will arrive a little earlier to set up and will stay until the last visitor has left. We try not to turn anyone away, so would recommend planning to be out of the house for at least an hour during the viewing times.

To prepare for the inspections we recommend you open some windows to air the house out and perform a thorough clean, tidying away everyday objects and children’s toys where applicable. If you have pets, try to keep them outdoors for a period of time before inspections start and if possible take them with you when you leave the house – some people are afraid of dogs or have allergies to pets so it is best if you can minimise any of these potential problems.

Put the heating on in winter and cool air in summer if you have it, so your home is a comfortable temperature when people walk in. The lights should also be on, even in summer - it helps when all the rooms have the same brightness.

Meet & greet

While you are away, your agent will greet all visitors at the main entrance and take note of their name, phone number and email where possible. We do not let anyone enter your home without at least getting a phone number from them. Visitors are left to walk freely through your home but our agents will always greet them again before they leave and answer any questions they might have.

We stay alert throughout the open home, but it is recommended that any ornaments or belongings of sentimental or monetary value are put away for safe keeping prior to the open home.

At the end of the open home your agent will lock all doors and windows, turn off the lights and send you a quick text or call you to let you know they are leaving.

Open home follow up

When open homes have finished for the day your agent will call back all the visitors and document any important feedback or comments for you. In the following days your salesperson will prepare feedback from them to discuss with you either by phone, email or in person, at which time you can ask any questions you might have.

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. 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.
