Calling surfers, retirees and pirates! The time has come to up sticks! Grab your surfboard, walking stick, or bottle of rum and come and have a look at this one. Rarely do properties like this hit the market, in sleepy seaside settlements with a lighthouse around the corner and some seals for company. The property is nicely elevated and overlooks the village with spectacular views across to the Kaikouras - also making a great vantage point to keep an eye out for pirate invasions. Along with your weapon of choice you will also need a good selection of tools if you are that way inclined, otherwise bring your builder along for some advice. Either renovate or start with a clean slate, this property will be a memory maker either way. See you at the next open home, me hearties!

Not enough houses: Supply low nationwide Stock shortage continues despite building boom Housing stock was down year-on-year in all but one region in May, with five regions falling to all-time lows since records began 14 years ago. This comes despite an increase in new listings and a booming building industry. According to Stats NZ, building consent numbers are at an all-time high with over 40,000 new homes consented during the year ended March 2021. While many buyers will be encouraged by recent incentives to stimulate more new builds, it’s likely it will take some time for building to catch up with demand.

Stock has steadily decreased over the last decade to a point where new listings haven’t been able to make a dent in the market. Only 14,883 homes were available for purchase at the end of May – 28.9% less than the same time last year. Gisborne was the only region in the country that didn’t record a year-on-year decrease in inventory last month, bucking the trend with 14.8% more stock than May 2020. Coromandel and Central North Island had the lowest stock compared to 2020, decreasing by 62.3% and 54.7% respectively.

New listings were up in 10 of 19 regions last month, with Gisborne and Marlborough recording the biggest increases.

National asking price surpasses $840k; record prices in four regions.

There were 8,760 properties listed for sale nationwide – 5.2% more than in May 2020. But the year-on-year figures may not be as promising as they first appear.

In Auckland average asking prices reached a record high of $1,117,757.

Looking back on May 2020, the market was just starting to come back online after the Covid-19 lockdown. In previous years we’ve seen around 9,500 or more new listings during May. The number of properties coming onto the market is still not meeting demand - so although we are seeing a lift in new listings, total stock numbers are still going backwards.

Average asking prices were up 15.3% year-on-year in May, with four regions hitting record asking price highs.

Taranaki reached a record high for the second consecutive month, with a home in the region now asking $571,962 on average. 14-year record average asking prices were also recorded in Nelson & Bays and Otago, up 13.3% and 13.0% respectively compared to May 2020. The average asking price nationwide was $841,816 in May, up slightly from $838,290 in April.
