Latest News

Auckland house prices hold firm through busy July

The start of winter has failed to chill Auckland’s property market, with July sales volumes up just over 9 percent on June’s figures and new listings up more than 14 percent month-on-month.

“This July we sold 957 properties across the Auckland region, which is the highest July sales total for four years. In fact, if you were to ignore the July sales figures for 2020 and 2021, which were unusually high due to falling between Covid lockdowns, this has been our strongest July for almost a decade,” says Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.

“The average sale price for the month of July was $1,100,355. This is around 2.5 percent lower than June’s average sale price, but broadly in line with the average for the first half of the year, which has remained consistent throughout.

“The median sales price for July was $950,000, 3.2 percent lower

than June’s median price and 2 percent lower than July 2024, but just ahead of the average for the previous three months.

“More than 46 percent of sales in July were transacted for over $1 million, making this our strongest July for seven-figure sales since 2021. Activity at the upper end of the market remained strong as we sold 51 properties over $2 million and 16 over $3 million – also our highest volume since 2021.

“Overall, the number of listings on the market has remained relatively consistent since February. With 1,605 new listings placed in July, the total number of homes on the market with Barfoot & Thompson salespeople as of the end of the month was 6,074. While this is below the listings high in March of 6,268, it is nevertheless the most homes we have had on the market in the month of July for more than 10 years.

“Outside of the city, there remains significant interest in the rural and lifestyle markets, with 33 sales accounting for a total sales value of just under $57 million. As was the case with June’s figures, this was the highest total sales value for a July for three years.

“From the city to the suburbs to the countryside, the market continues to offer lots of opportunity for vendors and purchasers with realistic price expectations.”

Peter Thompson Managing Director

Planning!

Take the stress out of Moving Day

Although the idea of settling in to a new home is very exciting, the actual moving process may sometimes seem a bit daunting - there’s a lot to think of and organise. Here are some tips to make the process as stress-free as possible:

Before moving day:

Notify important parties of your new address:

• Your banks and solicitor

• The IRD

• Your workplace, kids’ schools & childcare

• Local utility companies and your local authority /council

• Doctor, dentist, vet and other medical practitioners

• Stores that you have accounts with, hire purchase companies and clubs/ libraries where you have a membership

• Apply to have your mail redirected with NZ Post and leave your new address with the new owners so they can forward mail on

If you’re hiring a moving company, book them as soon as you know the moving date. If moving yourself, plan your transport.

Hire a rental truck or trailer and start organising boxes.

Enlist the help of family and friends to help you on the big day.

Call your insurance company and make sure your goods will be covered during the move.

Write a list of all your possessions and plan which ones you can box ahead of time.

When filling your boxes make sure they aren’t too heavy to carry.

Label boxes with their contents and the area of the house they are going in. Make sure you clearly label fragile goods.

Make sure you have valuables, paperwork and any other essential items with you on the day of the move.

Don’t Forget!

Discontinue or transfer services:

• Gas, power and water - don’t forget to organise a final reading

• Telephone and internet

• Sky TV, newspapers, magazine delivery or other publications you’re subscribed to

• Alarm monitoring

• Lawn mowing/garden services

Cleaning:

• If using a professional cleaner, book them as soon as you know the moving date.

• Try to use up food in the fridge and freezer. Clean and defrost them the day before you move.

• Sell, give or throw away any broken, damaged or unwanted possessions.

• Essentially: Leave the home in the same condition you want to find your new one.

On moving day:

• Remove all fixtures and fittings from the walls.

• Disconnect washing machine and drain water.

• Check tops of wardrobes and in the attic/ basement for any forgotten belongings.

• Don’t put breakables or liquids in drawers to be moved.

• Keep jewellery, money, passports, legal documents or insurance policies with you.

• Take your rubbish with you.

• Leave manuals and any important notes for the new owners.

• Make sure you turn off the lights, hot water system, gas meter and electricity switchboard and lock the door when you leave.

• Leave the keys with the appropriate person or agency.

Think of the Pets:

Think about arranging a pet-sitter on moving day to take care of them.

Update your pet’s details on their name tag, with your local council, and with the New Zealand Companion Animal Register. All dogs are required to be microchipped but if you haven’t already done this, now is the time. Although it’s not a requirement in New Zealand, it’s a good idea to get your cat microchipped too - it’s the only guaranteed way of identifying it if it runs away from your new home.

• Make sure you update your details with your vet. If you have an anxious pet, ask them for strategies to help keep them calm during the move. If you’re moving overseas, ask about vaccinations and special medications too!

Meet the Team

I first stepped into the property industry in 2008, and since then my career has gone from strength to strength. I’ve represented a number of New Zealand’s leading real estate brands, won multiple awards along the way, and gained a reputation as a top performer with a wealth of experience across property sales, business ownership and management.

I am known for my tireless work ethic, high energy, expert knowledge and ability to lead strategic business growth.

I also have a strong desire to succeed, which plays perfectly into my role as branch manager at Parnell - inspiring my team to aim high, achieve great things, grow and develop, and find reward and satisfaction in their work, every day. Of course, Barfoot & Thompson provides the perfect platform upon which we can all do this, thanks to the company’s vast network, market-leading position and outstanding access to resources and support.

We’re very fortunate to be working in the Parnell area, as this offers a unique backdrop for our operations. We consistently enjoy dominant market share in the suburb – likely due to the fact that we’re passionate about the area, have great local knowledge, and are experienced in selling the wide variety of properties on offer.

Looking ahead, my focus for the branch revolves around elevating our service offering and growing our sales and property management capability. I also intend to expand the team, building on our already impressive track record for great customer service, and stellar sales results.

Whether you’re considering buying or selling a property, or contemplating a career change, I would be delighted to assist. Feel free to call me at Barfoot & Thompson Parnell, and let’s explore the possibilities. Nick
