WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF OUR BLACK BOOK
Welcome to this issue of the The Black Book.
We were thrilled to have been the Number 1 office for Ray White nationally in June.
This reinforced our view and experience that the "central suburbs " and other pockets have seen an earlier market recovery than the pundits predicted.
Good property in New Zealand is resilient and enduring with multiple factors underpinning its value.
The much more settled borrowing landscape, huge inbound migration and a narrative of "rebound" and "reached the bottom of the downturn " are all in play.
With stock levels at a 16 year low, the opportunity for sellers to market in a much friendlier environment, before the traditional Spring surge of listings is now.
Thank you again for the ongoing confidence and trust you put in our team, we never take it for granted.
Please enjoy this fine selection of properties.
Happy Matariki!

WHY SELLNow
Introducing our weekly auction wrap called Competition Creators.
This document offers real-time data from our 195 New Zealand offices.
This week, we had 155 scheduled auctions, our members cleared 37.4 per cent of all stock nationally, and we had an average of 1.5 registered bidders per property. Some 50 per cent of all auction campaigns had active bidding on the day this year.
Our vendors who proceeded to take their property to sell under the hammer were rewarded with a sale price of 8.1 per cent higher than the best offer prior to auction.

RAY WHITE AUCTIONS REPORT HIGHER THAN AVERAGE CLEARANCE RATES
Sam Steele | Lead Auctioneer, Ray White New Zealand
Across the national network we have been pleased to report Ray White auction clearance rates are higher than the market average, bolstered by an increase in both success and activity.
In June, our auctions noted a 55.80 per cent success rate, which was 3.30 per cent up on the month prior, and a figure that continues to climb as market demand increases, and expectations for interest rates stabilise.
Growing optimism was further reflected in the average number of registered bidders, which was 2.80 per property - a 47 per cent increase on June last year - and further demonstrates that market dynamics are improving.
These metrics support anecdotal evidence across our sales network that buyers are becoming more active.
The percentage of total properties listed by auction also experienced a 7.90 per cent increase on June last year, rising to 35.50 per cent.
Auction activity generally increases as sellers become more confident about market conditions, so this is great news which continues to support the proven results delivered by a sale by auction.
Again, auctions continued to outperform private treaty as the preferred method of sale, with properties listed for sale by auction spending an average of 34 days on market, compared to 51 for private treaty.
Looking ahead, our auction schedule is already showing strong growth for July, and with the current positive outlook for the market going forward will continue to deliver successful results and outcomes for our clients in the marketplace.
