PHILLIP KENNY REAL ESTATE LTD MREINZ

Harcourts CEO Hayden Duncan says that stable interest rates, more competitive mortgage products being offered by lenders, and the sound economic outlook, will continue to fuel buyer activity well into the Autumn months.

Property-on-hand is down compared to last year, and the slight increase in new listings is doing little to quell the supply shortage with available stock down 4.5%.

Average house prices in January were up 3.0% compared to last year.

The supply/demand imbalance will “New Zealand is in a situation where we have growing population numbers, a continue to put upward pressure on stable economy, and growing consumer house prices in 2015, particularly in Auckland where population growth is and business confidence. The only accelerating. thing preventing those looking to buy property is the lack of affordable Written sales in the Central Region housing in the areas it’s needed.

month in terms of price, and this result isn’t indicative of a wider trend.

Supply in the region is tightening so we expect to see prices to follow an upward trend.

Vendors in Wellington will be buoyed by the latest residential results. The average sale price in January was up 8.0% compared to last year, further evidence that Wellington’s property market is on the way to recovery following the after effects of the global financial crisis.

Written sales were down significantly on last year; an indication that buyers are shopping around before committing to a purchase.

New listings are up 3.3% but with the positive upwards trend in house prices over recent months, we expect listing activity to increase even further compared to last year.

The increasing supply of propertyon-hand is an indication that stock is not moving as quickly as it has been in Christchurch. This is further evidenced in the volume of written sales, which was down slightly on last year. Average house prices dropped 13% to $402,752. This is the lowest price Harcourts has reported for Christchurch since January 2013 when the average house price was $384,648.
