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.”

GETTING READY TO SELL
TOP TIPS
When selling your home
So, you are thinking about selling and want to know what you should do before putting your home on the market?
We share a few ideas from the information available on our website barfoot.co.nz
Read our top tips and be sure to look at our information videos available on our web pages at this link: barfoot.co.nz/sell/selling-tips
De-clutter
The golden rule for getting ready for market is definitely to de-clutter! The goal is to get buyers to make an emotional connection to your property when they visit during an open home or a private viewing. They need to see the spaces and have an idea as to where they can put their belongings.
Before you start the selling process, it’s a good idea to think about the space you have and how you can make the most of it. You may have all the space you need, but clutter could obscure rooms and make them look smaller. Think of de-cluttering as a head start on packing up for your move later on.
Define Spaces
Defining each room is a good idea when you are preparing for presentation to the market. For example, you might have a four bedroom home but are using one of the bedrooms as a home office. While working from home suits many, showcase all the possibilities by installing a single bed alongside a more compact work area. This way you maximise the benefit of the extra bedroom and tick all the boxes for a broader range of buyers.
If you don’t have enough furniture, use a Home Stager. Home Stagers can bring an assortment of furniture and accessories to ‘dress’ your home. They often do this using your own furniture while adding the appeal of popular styles or trendy decoration to achieve a showhome presentation.
For an unfurnished home or an investment property, it’s a great idea to use staging to help your agent achieve the best selling price for your property.
Our top tips:
- Consider hiring a storage unit for all objects that don’t have a place in your home
- Clean everything - from skirting boards to walls, taps and behind fridges
- Consider getting carpets professionally cleaned
- Buyers will open your cupboards and closets, so make sure you take time to check these and give them a tidy-up
- Your personal mementos make your house a home. So it stands to reason that buyers will find it hard to imagine living there if it’s filled with family photos and heirlooms.
Repairs and renovations Go green!
For many people selling their home provides the perfect opportunity to make minor repairs and touch ups they may have been putting off for a long time.
Doors that don’t shut property, holes in walls, peeling wallpaper or leaking taps are just some of the things that can turn off buyers and are relatively easy to fix.
First impressions
Before a buyer enters your home, they’ve already formed an opinion based on what they’ve seen from the road. Take a walk out to the kerb and think about anything that could potentially turn buyers off.
Freshly cut lawns, a well cared for garden or hedge, and clean paintwork on the house make a huge difference, and so do a chemwashed exterior plus water blasted fences and concrete walls. A positive impression from the street will make the buyer want to step inside.
A well-tended front garden creates instant appeal and is a great way to show buyers that your home is worth a look.
If you’re not sure what to plant, go with low maintenance shrubs - New Zealand natives are ideal. Think about how you can create a sense of privacy and calm.
Bark or crushed shells can be used to cover any patches of bare earth, and rocks, railway sleepers or bricks make inexpensive garden borders.
Don’t have a garden? Add some colourful pots or planter boxes. Herbs, perennials or succulents are a good option - they add colour and fragrance.
