502/2 Turakina Street, Grey Lynn - an apartment listed with Barfoot and Thompson Ponsonby
APARTMENT LIVING
AN APARTMENT TO CALL HOME While some property experts suggested that Auckland’s apartment market was softening, Barfoot and Thompson’s number one agent for sales for this financial year (YTD) has found the market rebounding well. Aaron Cook of Barfoot and Thompson’s city office is the country’s number one agent for sales over the first four months of the 2020 financial year. Ryan Harding of the Ponsonby Barfoot office is having a similar experience, noting that while days to sell may be longer, prices are holding strong. Rather than dropping post lock down, interest in apartments has remained steady and is a testament to the quality and style of apartment developments around Ponsonby and the city. While some people might be fleeing the central areas for lifestyle blocks and suburbs outside the main centres since Covid-19, the style and quality of apartments listed around the Ponsonby area maintain consistent demand.

Sarah Peterken, the marketing manager for Barfoot and Thompson had not long moved into her Grey Lynn apartment prior to lockdown and enthuses that there is much to love about modern apartment living. “I love being so close to everything. I can be at work in the heart of the city in 15 minutes or can stroll down the road to my favourite cafe or shops in moments.”
