Market confidence returns, post-election Renewed post-election confidence has buoyed the New Zealand property market, according to the latest data from realestate.co.nz. New listings were up 22% in October, compared to September, and national average asking prices reached January 2023 levels. The average spring lift seen in October is 16.0%. As a sales method, auctions regained popularity with sellers, according to the real estate website’s monthly New Zealand Property Report. Spokesperson for realestate.co.nz, North Shore’s Vanessa Williams, says these indicators suggest the market is starting to move. “It could be the change of government, the OCR holding for the third consecutive month or the cyclical nature of the property market. It is difficult to say for sure what is causing the shift. “However, this will be welcome news for anyone wanting to sell.” Vanessa adds that real estate agents are reporting increased numbers viewing properties through open homes, another sign of increased market stimulation. Vanessa says the shift back in favour of auction sales is another indicator that the New Zealand market is becoming more competitive. “Auctions are generally more popular in a hot market. Seeing the number of auctions increase tells us that buyers and sellers are both more confident to transact under the hammer.” After a period of nine months during which house prices softened, the national average asking price has now increased to $884,377, as of early November, to reach its early 2023 levels. After a slow start to spring, new listings in October quickly made up ground. “This is the first time the national average asking price has been above $880,000 since January. In 2023, we’ve had a shallow dip followed by what looks like a recovery. We will have to wait a couple more months to see whether this uptick becomes a trend. It’s not unusual to see the market pause during an election,” says Vanessa. “The influx of new listings is a good indicator of market confidence. Vendors are ready to list – potentially after holding off during a slow market period,” says Vanessa.
It is predicted by market commentators, such as independent economist Tony Alexander, that January is likely to see a flood of house sales. “It’s going to be very busy,” he told OneRoof, in his midNovember piece, titled, ‘Why Kiwis shouldn't bet against a rapid rise in house prices’. Tony reports an increase in investors looking to purchase property, in ‘the strongest reading since just before the tax changes announced in March 2021’. Addressing the reasons for this, he believes. “They can see prices are rising, so fears of losing capital from falling prices have almost entirely disappeared. They can see the logical implications discussed here last week of rising demand for housing from accelerating population growth set against falling construction of new dwellings.” He claims, however, demand from first home buyers is markedly higher as these potential purchasers ‘are now probably looking to intensify their house search because they are reading stories about investors coming back’. He says this is in anticipation of higher demand, reduced choice, and higher prices over the coming months, adding, “Buying to beat price rises is a powerful motivator."
