“Buying a house in Auckland was a daunting prospect and not supposed to be an enjoyable experience so it seems weird to say that it was actually fun working with Kathryn to purchase our property. Professional, knowledgeable and calm, delivering excellent service to ensure all parties were accurately represented, and a successful outcome could be achieved. We loved working with Kathryn and the experience from start to finish has been great. Kathryn is a person of high integrity, goes the extra mile and puts relationship at the heart of what she is doing!

Spring good for housing market!

Spring is almost within reach, and with it, will likely come an upturn in the property market here on the Shore. If you’re feeling like a fresh start this season, you may be in the market for a move and with listings picking up after a slower winter, it may be time to press on with a new purchase.

The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand’s (REINZ) latest figures, released on 13 July, show ‘a renewed level of activity emerging’.

Chief Executive Jen Baird says REINZ is seeing a rise in sales counts alongside a hesitancy from sellers to list.

Compared to this time last year, there has been a notable increase in sales, according to REINZ. The total number of properties sold across New Zealand in June 2023 was 5,629, up from 4,912 in June 2022 (+14.6%), year-on-year.

is driving ongoing lower levels of new property coming to market and an increase in the number of sales being made,” says Jen.

Historically, data shows a decrease in sales is typically expected when moving from May to June across New Zealand. When that seasonal trend is considered, by applying seasonal adjustment to the sales count figures, REINZ says sales this June exceeded expectations, when compared to the sales count in May 2023.

Jen says, “Salespeople across the country are reporting increased first home buyer activity at open homes, with the easing of LVR restrictions that came into effect on 1 June bringing more people out looking. Although activity has increased, caution remains as interest rates, a pending election and further strain caused by the cost-of-living tempers putting pen on paper.”

Nationally, the June 2023 median price decreased 8.2% yearon-year to $780,000 from $850,000. Days to sell have risen to 49 days for June 2023 — up four days compared to June 2022 and no change from May 2023.

At the end of June, the total number of properties for sale across New Zealand was 24,676, down 6.1% (1,595 properties) from 26,271 year-on-year, and down 7.5% month-on-month.

“With sales counts up year-on-year but down slightly monthon-month, the change in direction of the national inventory level
