SPRING 26


WE LOVE REAL ESTATE


WELCOME Welcome to this Spring Edition of my Property Portfolio - a timely look at market opportunities amid New Zealand’s evolving real estate landscape. We are navigating an increasingly active market, marked by strong buyer commitment and decisive sales when quality properties are presented. Current conditions reflect a distinct trend: while demand is robust, inventory remains constrained. Many prospective vendors have indicated they intend to defer listings until after November’s general election, preferring clarity around political and economic outlooks before entering the public market. That said, many remain open to selling should suitable buyers emerge immediately. Some owners are choosing off-market transactions, though this approach carries material risk - often failing to achieve full market value by limiting exposure. Notably, we have seen a sharp rise in interest from high-value international buyers, particularly in the $5m+ segment; discreet, unmarketed properties remain entirely invisible to this active, globally connected demographic. With limited quality new stock entering the market, properties supported by comprehensive, globally reaching marketing strategies are delivering exceptional results: strong competition, accelerated sales timelines, and multiple offers have become standard for well-presented homes. Deferring your campaign until post-election carries notable risks. First, an anticipated surge in listings will create a crowded market— favouring buyers and potentially diluting individual property visibility. Second, election outcomes may not align with expectations, potentially extending uncertainty and creating downward pressure on values. Selling now offers clarity and advantage: you operate within a known, highdemand environment where expertly executed campaigns deliver exceptional returns. Additionally, early sellers retain greater choice when seeking their next home during late 2026 or early 2027. Should you be considering a move, or wish to understand your property’s true worth and tailored marketing pathways, please reach out directly. I welcome the opportunity to provide an informed, personalised assessment and strategy discussion.

TESTIMONIAL Exceptional Service: Dual Transaction Success with Ross Hawkins & Paul Field We are writing this to express our deepest gratitude and highest recommendation for Ross Hawkins and Paul Field at New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty. We recently trusted Ross and Paul to handle both sides of our real estate journey, first securing our new home and subsequently managing the sale of our previous property. Navigating these major transitions back-to-back can be complex, but they managed the entire sequence with flawless execution. From our very first meeting, we were deeply impressed by their extensive, specialised knowledge of architectural design and structural details. When it came time to list our old house, they didn't just see a property; they truly understood the character and unique architectural integrity of our home. They knew exactly how to highlight those specific design elements to attract targeted buyers and maximise our market value. Where Ross and Paul truly demonstrated their expertise, however, was during the negotiation phase for the sale of our old property. We encountered a challenging negotiation that required careful handling. They remained a calm, steady anchor throughout the process, navigating the competing demands with absolute ease while protecting our interests firmly and keeping the deal moving forward. Their professionalism is unmatched, their communication is proactive, and their strategic mindset is exactly what you want in your corner. If you are looking to buy, sell, or manage both transitions sequentially, you will not find a more capable, knowledgeable, and reliable team than Ross Hawkins and Paul Field. With appreciation, Hilary & Eldon

48 buyers through the door: Striking house fetches over $5m, blasts past 'irrelevant RV' Cash-rich Aucklanders are on the hunt for freshly renovated homes.

A four-bedroom home on Grampian Road, in Auckland’s St Heliers, attracted multiple offers within days of hitting the market. Photo / Supplied

A renovated St Heliers home sold for $5.25m within days, attracting 48 interested parties. - Luxury homes are selling quickly as wealthy buyers seek renovations and quality listings remain scarce. - Forty of 116 Auckland sales above $5m sold within two months this year. A luxuriously renovated four-bedroom home in Auckland’s eastern bays sold late last month for more than $5 million – within days of it hitting the market. The stylish property on Grampian Road, St Heliers, pulled in 48 potential buyers in its first 10 days on the market and attracted two offers after its first open home. “Because there was so much energy in the open home, the people who were serious actually moved pretty quickly,” New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty listing agent Ross Hawkins told OneRoof. “We frantically rang around and told people who were showing good interest that there was an offer. Then it became a multi-offer.” Hawkins said the two offers on the table had come from cash-rich buyers who had already sold their homes. “They knew a good thing when they saw it, so they moved,” he said. “They were a little bit sick of looking.” Hawkins noted that the $5.25m sale price was considerably higher than the dated RV of $2.775m, which did not reflect the multimillion-dollar renovation. Watch Video


He said buyers in the $5m-plus market wanted freshly renovated homes to spare themselves the time and cost of new work, and his Grampian Road listing ticked all the boxes in that regard. OneRoof’s analysis of the market supports Hawkins’ assessment. Of the 116 settled sales worth $5m or more this year, 40 were snapped up within two months of hitting the market. Hawkins said top-end buyers at this level were struggling to find good homes, noting that there were still too few listings matching Grampian Road’s quality. “The smart ones are buying now. And what happens if the election does not go the way they want? What then? That is the big question,” he said. “So why wouldn’t you sell now, because who knows what’s going to happen next year? The buyers are there right now. People are sick of sitting on their hands for the last two years.” Hawkins pointed to several other properties that had been snapped up at speed, including a completely renovated four-bedroom home on Bassett Road, in Remuera. That property had multiple offers within two days of the first open home (“it was a train station,” he said of the crowds) and sold for $5.11m.

Agents expect a five-bedroom house at 18 Lammermoor Drive, St Heliers, will sell quickly too. Photo / Supplied

Hawkins and his colleague Karen Moore have just listed a concrete house on 18 Lammermoor Drive, in St Heliers, by well-known developer Peter Jones. The five-bedroom, 535sqm house has garaging for eight cars, a full butler’s pantry, a lift between the three levels, a media room, and views of Rangitoto. “We’re expecting interest to be in the $6ms,” Hawkins said. “We think you get a lot more in a house in the sixes than you do in an apartment in the sixes of the same sort of quality.” Hawkins said the property had already been viewed by 13 groups in its first two days on the market. “Our results are actually proving to the market to go now, while you don’t have all the competition, because there are plenty of buyers,” he said.

MEDIA Abridged Article - Catherine Masters 11 July 2026

$14.5m in just one week: Trio of deals in St Heliers as US buyers put pressure on locals “There’s a window for locals to get in on the high-end stuff now.”

NZ Sotheby’s agent Ross Hawkins reckons he has found the perfect house just metres from the sand and the sea at Auckland’s Bucklands Beach. But foreign investors will be disappointed. Video / OneRoof

Ross Hawkins of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty reports growing competition from foreign buyers for high-end Auckland homes. Hawkins closed three St Heliers deals, including one over $8m, with increased overseas interest. Most of the foreign buyers are from the US, with interest also from China, Hong Kong, Germany, and Austria. Kiwis are buying up expensive homes, but competition from foreign buyers is growing, says New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty agent Ross Hawkins. Last month, Hawkins closed three high-end deals in the space of a week in the wealthy Auckland suburb of St Heliers, including one for over $8 million. None of the purchases were under the Government’s golden visa scheme, which allows foreign investors the right to buy a New Zealand home worth $5m or more, but Hawkins said Auckland properties have attracted a lot of overseas interest in recent months. Hawkins told OneRoof that overseas demand had steadily grown since the Active Investor Plus legislation came into effect on March 6. According to the latest figures, 20 New Zealand properties have been purchased under the scheme, including 14 in Auckland. Watch Video


The majority of offshore buyers are from the US, and just this week, Hawkins said he was showing five Auckland properties to interested American buyers. “That’s the thing about the process that’s happening at the moment, the fact that the overseas buyers are coming in more and more is actually making the locals move on things so they don’t miss out. “Every month it’s getting better as far as numbers and enquiries, so there’s a window for locals to get in on the high-end stuff now before they have more of them to compete with, because they've got to get their ducks in a row, these overseas buyers.” While some needed to qualify and make their investments to become eligible, others were already qualified and ready to buy, he said. “Everyone’s got a different way of going about it depending on their situations. “The ones that we are dealing with today, we’re showing them five options today, and they are still working with their investment advisors to make their investments here. “They know they want to buy something here, they’re just working out what while they go through the process.” As well as Americans, people from China and Hong Kong were looking, as were a “surprising” number from Germany and Austria.

“The Germans are a little bit worried about Russia and what’s happening over there, but all these people are looking at New Zealand for different reasons. “The Americans, there is a large proportion of anti-Trump there, but there are also people wanting to come for lifestyle and put their kids into university here and that sort of thing.” There were plenty of $5m-plus properties available, and plenty of overseas buyers were in the market for $10m properties, he said. AIP visa holders were reasonably specific about what they wanted, and in Auckland, that was usually school zones and being close to the water, Hawkins said. While Aucklanders often took their harbour for granted, people from overseas were impressed with views of Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf in the City of Sails.

Hawkins also sold a farmstead home on Clarendon Road, in St Heliers, for $3.25m. Photo / Supplied

One of the three St Heliers properties Hawkins sold last month met the criteria for AIP buyers. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home on St Heliers Bay Road has a pool complex and landscaped gardens, and was marketed as a substantial resort-style residence offering sweeping harbour views and unparalleled privacy on over half an acre of land. Local buyers had acted fast to secure the property, paying $8.375m - more than $1.5m above the RV. He sold the house next door to UK buyers with New Zealand residency for $2.895m. Photo / Supplied


“”Our Remuera office, for the first quarter of this year, had an average sale price above $5m,” Hawkins said. The other two St Heliers properties that sold last month were next door to each other on Clarendon Road. They both sold for below the $5m AIP threshold. One fetched $3.25m and was snapped up by the perfect buyer, Hawkins said. The original farmhouse dates back to the early settlers and was sold to an architect who specialised in historic homes. “Our advertising on that was bring your architect because people were talking ‘oh, it's a development site, knock it down’, but it’s an iconic house.

“My view was we really want someone that’s got an architectural eye to buy it, to restore it, to add to it, enhance it, because it’s an amazing part of our history. I mean, all the bricks came as ballast on sailing ships into St Heliers Bay, were rowed ashore and carried up to the site to build the house with.” The new owner was excited and planned to enhance the property in keeping with its character, Hawkins said. “It will be magnificent when it’s done. They only bought a couple of weeks ago, and they’ve already moved in.” The other property was sold for the $2.895m asking price after just one viewing. The new owners, who were New Zealand residents from the United Kingdom, were aware that several people had missed out on the property next door and so moved quickly, Hawkins said. Hawkins has other AIP-eligible properties, including an apartment in St Stephens Avenue, in Parnell, which is on for $6.25m. The well-built concrete home is one of only four and has unobstructed views of Auckland Harbour. Another AIP-eligible property is in Tutukaka, in Northland. This waterfront property, on for circa $7m, has a paper road between the house and the water, meaning it can be purchased by an offshore buyer, Hawkins said. “It’s a paper road that will never be formed but what that does is it separates it from the sensitive land and the waterfront.” The property has only been listed a few days and already Hawkins has handled over two dozen inquiries, many of them from Australians seeking property in New Zealand following changes to tax rules in Australia.
