Latest News
Auckland house prices hold firm through busy July
The start of winter has failed to chill Auckland’s property market, with July sales volumes up just over 9 percent on June’s figures and new listings up more than 14 percent month-on-month.
“This July we sold 957 properties across the Auckland region, which is the highest July sales total for four years. In fact, if you were to ignore the July sales figures for 2020 and 2021, which were unusually high due to falling between Covid lockdowns, this has been our strongest July for almost a decade,” says Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“The average sale price for the month of July was $1,100,355. This is around 2.5 percent lower than June’s average sale price, but broadly in line with the average for the first half of the year, which has remained consistent throughout.
“The median sales price for July was $950,000, 3.2 percent lower
than June’s median price and 2 percent lower than July 2024, but just ahead of the average for the previous three months.
“More than 46 percent of sales in July were transacted for over $1 million, making this our strongest July for seven-figure sales since 2021. Activity at the upper end of the market remained strong as we sold 51 properties over $2 million and 16 over $3 million – also our highest volume since 2021.
“Overall, the number of listings on the market has remained relatively consistent since February. With 1,605 new listings placed in July, the total number of homes on the market with Barfoot & Thompson salespeople as of the end of the month was 6,074. While this is below the listings high in March of 6,268, it is nevertheless the most homes we have had on the market in the month of July for more than 10 years.
“Outside of the city, there remains significant interest in the rural and lifestyle markets, with 33 sales accounting for a total sales value of just under $57 million. As was the case with June’s figures, this was the highest total sales value for a July for three years.
“From the city to the suburbs to the countryside, the market continues to offer lots of opportunity for vendors and purchasers with realistic price expectations.”
Peter Thompson Managing Director

DIFFERENT WAYS TO SELL
TOP TIPS
When selling your home
You have decided to sell your home and might be wondering about what would be the best method.
At Barfoot & Thompson you have a choice of different methods to best suit you and your property. This article discusses the main sale methods as well as different agency types.
Remember, we have more information and a range of videos on our website to help you make the very best choice.

Auction
A real estate auction is a method of selling a property through the process of public negotiation to determine the true market value of the property at that time.
Not only is Barfoot & Thompson Auckland’s largest real estate company, but it is also Auckland’s leading auction house - holding more auctions than any other real estate company.
Some benefits of selling by Auction include:
• You market your home without a price; the sky’s the limit.
• You have 3 opportunities to sell your home by auction; a) pre-auction, b) under the hammer or c) post-auction.
• There are no additional fees associated with a Barfoot & Thompson Auction so you have nothing to lose.
• An auction sale is unconditional, you know your settlement date and how much you have sold for when the hammer falls.
Sole or General Agency?
If you have a sole agency agreement, then only the real estate company named on the agreement can do real estate agency work (i.e. market and sell) on the property identified in the agreement. This type of agreement encourages the agency to work harder on your behalf.
If you sign a sole agency agreement, you should not sign up to another agent, as you may have to pay commission for both.
A general agency allows a number of real estate companies to do real estate work for the same property, at the same time.
If you sign a general agency agreement with more than one agency, you would only pay commission to the agency which succeeds in selling your property.
With this type of agreement, every agent has the listing but nobody has responsibility of selling the property.
Why list as a sole agency versus a general agency? There is an obligation placed on the salesperson to provide a sale, which encourages them to work harder for it.
We have a team of seven auctioneers that do auctions - and only auctions. They’re not parttime sales people or managers. That means when you sell your house through a Barfoot & Thompson auction, you’ve got the most dedicated and experienced team possible working for you.
Tender
When selling by Tender, your home is sold by way of confidential offers that buyers make by a set deadline.
After the Tender deadline has passed, all offers are opened at the same time in the presence of a Barfoot & Thompson Manager or Auctioneer. You have five working days from the Tender date to decide if you will accept one of them. You have the right to negotiate with just one of the buyers and, once accepted, the buyer is bound by the terms and conditions of the Tender document.
While any property can be sold by tender, it is particularly suitable for:
- Properties where a number of parties must be consulted, for example, properties owned by a family trust or deceased estate
- Properties where potential customers would expect to have to do due diligence before submitting an offer, for example, properties with strong development potential.
Promotion
Your home is offered to the market at a fixed price that you determine, or by negotiation.
Potential buyers can make offers for you to consider, these offers are usually conditional on various factors the buyer needs to investigate such as finance, builders report, council Lim report contents etc.
Your Barfoot & Thompson salesperson will assist with negotiations and they represent your interests throughout the process.
