Low Auckland house prices attract strong sales activity

The Auckland housing market is experiencing strong sales activity without it affecting price stability.

“In February, sales numbers at 785 were excellent, and we sold the highest number of homes in a February for five years,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.

“February’s high activity follows on from that in January, and in the first two months of the year we have sold 1,609 homes, 16 percent more than at the same time last year.

“The only year we have sold more homes in the first two months of a calendar year in the last decade was 2021.

“The attraction that is drawing buyers is current price levels, with the median sales price in February at $904,000, down 9.6 percent on that for January, and the average price at $1,013,976, down 13.3 percent.

“These are among the lowest monthly median and average

sales prices seen in Auckland since prices peaked in 2022.

“The combination of high sales and low prices is part of the ‘structural change’ the Reserve Bank commented on when announcing the OCR would remain at 2.25 percent in late February.

“Effectively, housing supply is starting to meet housing demand, and the prices are drawing in buyers who once felt priced out of the market.

“We listed 2,252 new properties in February, a combination of new builds and existing homes, and at month end had 6,159 properties on our books, the highest number of listings we have had at this time of the year for 15 years.

“While the combination of good choice, stable prices and high sales numbers is drawing strong buyer interest, for the first time in many years this is not putting pressure on prices.

“Of our sales in February 31 percent were in the under

$750,000 price segment, the category most attractive to first time buyers.

“Sales in the $2 million plus market represented 4 percent of total sales. This sector is normally quiet at this time of the year because of the holiday season.

“Sales of property in the rural and leisure sectors of Northland and greater Auckland for February were close to $37 million, bringing sales for the first two months of the year to $100 million, 15.5 percent higher than for the same two months last year.”

Buyers Guide To The Process Of Negotiation

Find Out

How to make an offer on a property that is being sold with a price, price band or by negotiation.

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

What is buying by negotiation?

This is when properties are advertised with a price, a price band or by negotiation. People are invited to make an offer on the property. This allows the buyer to negotiate with the seller on price.

Types of offers you can make

Unconditional

A straightforward offer to buy according to the terms set out in the contract.

Conditional

When your offer to buy has conditions attached, for example, arranging finance or being satisfied with a building report you arrange.

If you make an offer which the seller doesn't accept, they can countersign the offer and the salesperson can continue negotiations this way until the buyer and seller agree.

What is an unconditional offer?

Making an offer

All offers must be made in writing using the correct documentation - your Barfoot & Thompson salesperson will provide these. These documents comply with New Zealand Real Estate contract law.

Your salesperson will guide you through the process of submitting your offer in writing, paying the deposit, settlement/possession dates and the inclusion of any additional conditions.

What happens once an agreement has been made?

• Any conditions need to be satisfied by the due date and it is the buyers responsibility to satisfy those conditions.

• Once an agreement is unconditional, neither the buyer or the seller can change their mind, and the buyer must pay the rest of the purchase price on the settlement day.

• Deposit payments are made by the buyer to the real estate agency, which is required by law to hold the money in an audited trust account, only releasing it when legally authorised to do so.

• The balance of the purchase price is paid on settlement, this is usually the day you take possession of the property.

We want to make your real estate experience so good, hassle free and achieve a great result that you will be happy to use us, and make recommendations to your friends. Anything short of that, I will be disappointed.
