Auckland property market heads into winter with strong sales numbers
The Auckland property market had a strong close to the summer/autumn selling season with sales numbers at their strongest for the month of June in four years, and the average price increasing to its highest in three months.
“June is normally a month when sales activity starts to tail off with the approach of winter, but this June was a strong sales month,” said Stephen Barfoot, a Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“The median sales price for the month at $981,500, was the highest it has been this year and 5.7 percent higher than last month’s median sales price.
“While this is well below the peak median price established a few years ago, compared to where prices have been over the past few months, it represents a pleasing reversal in direction.
“The strong increase in the number of sales being achieved this year compared with the past two years continued into June.
“We sold 876 properties in June, which was our highest number in the month of June for four years and was more than a quarter higher than in the same month last year.
“While June’s sales numbers were down on May’s, our sales for 2025 year-to-date continue to run 20 percent higher than those for last year.
“The market may be drifting in terms of prices, but when it comes to sales turnover it is stronger now than it has been since sales and prices peaked in 2021.
“New listings in the month at 1,405 were solid, but the lowest they have been for 5 months, with month end housing stock sitting at 5,831. While this number is on a par with stock levels at this time last year it is the first time in four months properties on our books have fallen below 6,000.
“The rural and lifestyle markets to the north, west and south of Auckland also had a strong
month going into winter, with the sales value of properties for June being more than $59 million, the highest sales total in these markets in the month of June for three years.
“Sales by value in the rural and lifestyle markets in the first half of 2025 are running 41 percent ahead of where they were at the same time last year.”

Now it gets exciting!
The marketing has hit its targets and now buyers want to proceed with an offer...
Auction
As we all know: where there are offers, often negotiation is involved!
How an offer is made, along with the particular terms and conditions on which a sale depends, will be determined to some extent by the method of sale you have chosen. In every case, your Barfoot & Thompson salesperson will be there at every step to guide and assist you - and liaise between you and the buyer.
When selling by auction you will have set terms and conditions of the sale together with our auction department and your solicitor.
This is recorded in an agreement that will be sent to interested parties during the marketing campaign so they are fully informed before auction day.
During the weeks leading up to the auction, a buyer might ask for a variation on your terms and conditions. For example, a party may ask you to agree to a different possession date, should they be the highest bidder on the day. This is formally documented and signed off
by both parties well before the auction; and the decision to agree, or not, is always yours.
Sometimes, an acceptable offer is made before auction day, which may lead to the auction being brought forward, this is referred to as a pre-auction offer. In this scenario, the acceptable offer serves as the opening bid, while other interested parties are given the opportunity to bid upward from there.
Once the property has sold under the hammer, you and the purchaser are asked to sign the contract documenting the sale, which will then be distributed to your and their solicitors for processing. Arrangements
for a deposit are made (usually by cheque or by bank transfer the same day), and the remainder of the purchase price is due on settlement day. Should the property not sell at auction, then there is room for conditional buyers to enter the arena and an agreement can be negotiated.
What can I expect on auction day?
For detailed information about all of the steps and what to expect on Auction day head to our website – we have dedicated pages for both buyers and sellers including videos from our salespeople and top auctioneers.

Negotiation
If you have decided to sell by negotiation offers can be presented at any point. As with auctions and tenders, offers are presented in writing on a sale and purchase agreement. You will consider the terms and conditions in the agreement, as well as the price in order to determine whether you would like to accept or negotiate further via a counter offer.
Once you have accepted an offer, signatures are required on a final document and this agreement will be distributed to both parties’ solicitors. If the agreement is contingent on conditions, then the purchaser has a number of working days specified to satisfy these and the agreement becomes unconditional once this is completed - meaning your property has sold!
Sometimes an unconditional offer is made where the only aspect left to negotiate is price. This is called a ‘cash unconditional’ offer and once both parties agree on the price, the property is sold.
Tender
If you have decided to sell by tender, your salesperson will present you with offers at the set day and time the tender closes. The terms and conditions in the agreement as well as the offered price will help determine which offer you would like to accept, or whether you would like to negotiate further.
Offers are private and confidential - they are for your consideration, for which you are allowed to allocate a time frame of five working days. The terms and conditions in the agreement, as well as the offered price will be determining factors in your decision which offer you would like to accept or negotiate further.
Once an offer is accepted, you will sign it and the agreement will be distributed to the solicitors for processing. If the agreement is contingent on conditions, then the purchaser has a number of working days specified to satisfy these. When these conditions complete, the agreement becomes unconditional and the property is sold.
During this period your sales person as well as your solicitor will be working together with the buying party to facilitate the sale at every step.

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.
