Latest News
Spring brings burst of buying activity to Auckland house market
The start of spring has seen committed buyers re-enter the Auckland residential property market with sales for September being their highest in the month for four years.
“It was a great start to the spring buying season,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“Buyers were committed, and there was a general feeling that now was the time to act before prices started to increase.
“We sold 1,032 homes in the month, a 13.8 percent increase over the number we have sold on average over the previous three months.
“It is the first time we have sold more than 1,000 homes in the month of September for four years and is only 60 homes less than we sold during September 2020 when the market was heading towards its peak.
“Buyers were conscious that prices have remained stable since
the start of the year and that this settled pattern may not last for much longer.
“The median sales price for the month was $930,000, the lowest it has been for four months, down 2.1 percent on August’s price while the average price was $1,089,686, down 0.8 percent on that a month previously.
“A positive aspect about the month’s prices is that the average price was 0.8 percent higher than its equivalent in September last year and the median price was only 0.5 percent lower than its equivalent last year.
“The four-year trend, when the monthly median and average prices failed to reach the previous year’s equivalent, may be ending.
“Property in the under $750,000 price category continued to sell well in September, accounting for 26.5 percent (or 273) of all the homes we sold in the month. Homes in this price category are proving particularly appealing to first-time buyers and investors.
“A combination of new builds and existing homes saw new listings for the month reach 1,781, which was excellent for early spring and brought the end-of-month stock level to 5,775.
“September was a quiet month for sales in the above $3 million price category, with 12 sales.
“The spring effect was also felt in the rural and lifestyle market with September sales reaching $73 million, the highest September sales for five years and our second highest monthly sales figure this year.”
Peter Thompson Managing Director

Meet the Team
Pauline Anderson Sales Manager 021 770 799
Making the move to Sales Manager at Barfoot & Thompson was a natural progression for me. After 23 years in the real estate industry, I still get excited about the selling and marketing of property. Like most things in any business, it comes down to trust. People want to do business with someone they can rely on - buying or selling a home is a very big deal for most people so they need to be confident you’ll deliver how and when you say you will.
Much of my career to date has been in people management roles. In the banking industry, HR and owning my own business, a big part of those positions was ensuring that everyone had access to the learning and development opportunities they needed to do their best work. With this background, I’m perfectly placed to assist our growing team in their endeavours to consistently provide the great service and success that Barfoot & Thompson is known for.
With over 49% market share in the Franklin district and across Auckland, our office is well positioned to continue to serve this fantastic region, as its population grows and new business brings employment opportunities to the area.
My focus moving forward will be to collaborate closely with my team to elevate our service offering, and build on our reputation for driving sales success. With the company’s values of People, Family, Community and Diversity in alignment with my own, I look forward to being of assistance to you.
