Auckland property sales remain strong in April
Monthly Auckland residential property sales continued to gain momentum during April and sales for the first four months of the year were their highest for four years.
“By the end of April this year we had sold 3440 properties, 18.5 percent higher than in the first four months of last year, 65.5 percent higher than in 2023 and 2.8 percent higher than in 2022,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“It underlines that in terms of the number of sales being made, the Auckland market is building some traction.
“In April we sold 842 properties. While down nearly a third on those for March, this was the highest number of sales we have made in April for four years, and we only exceeded this number in April once in the last nine years.
“Sales in the early part of April slowed when talk of tariff ‘trade wars’ reached their highest but rebounded quickly towards month’s end.
“March is the peak of the summer selling season, and a decline in sales numbers compared to March is normal.
“From a price perspective the market showed no signs of lifting, with prices in April drifting downwards with the median price at $934,000, being down 3.7 percent on that for March, and the average price at $1,110, 689, down 3 percent.
“Prices normally ease back post March as we head into autumn.
“A marked feature of sales in April was the high percentage of sales in the under $750,000 price segment, which accounted for 26.8 percent of all sales. In March this price segment accounted for 23.4 percent of sales.
“The high number of new build apartments and town houses in the under $750,000 price segment currently hitting the market are proving extremely popular with first time buyers and investors.
“Sales of properties for in excess of $2 million represented 7.5 percent of all sales, and this figure is consistent with the percentage of $2 million sales in April last year.
“New listings for April were a healthy 1578, and were in line with April last year, and properties for sale on our books
at month end were 6113.
“This number is only marginally down on last month’s record level of properties for sale at month end.
“April sales in the rural and lifestyle markets to the north, south and west of Auckland continued to enjoy strong sales activity in the month, with sales reaching a little over $61 million. This level of turnover was down only 5 percent on March’s outstanding sales month.
“With 28 rural and lifestyle properties being sold, this was the highest number of sales in the month of April in four years.”

BUYERS GUIDE TO THE PROCESS OF NEGOTIATION
FIND OUT
how to make an offer on a property that is being sold with a price, price band or by negotiation.
What is buying by negotiation?
This is when properties are advertised with a price, a price band or by negotiation. People are invited to make an offer on the property. This allows the buyer to negotiate with the seller on price.
Types of offers you can make
Unconditional
A straightforward offer to buy according to the terms set out in the contract.
Conditional
When your offer to buy has conditions attached, for example, arranging finance or being satisfied with a building report you arrange.
If you make an offer which the seller doesn't accept, they can countersign the offer and the salesperson can continue negotiations this way until the buyer and seller agree.
What is an unconditional offer?
Making an offer
All offers must be made in writing using the correct documentation - your Barfoot & Thompson salesperson will provide these. These documents comply with New Zealand Real Estate contract law. Your salesperson will guide you through the process of submitting your offer in writing, paying the deposit, settlement/possession dates and the inclusion of any additional conditions.
What happens once an agreement has been made?
Any conditions need to be satisfied by the due date and it is the buyers responsibility to satisfy those conditions.
Once an agreement is unconditional, neither the buyer or the seller can change their mind, and the buyer must pay the rest of the purchase price on the settlement day.
Deposit payments are made by the buyer to the real estate agency, which is required by law to hold the money in an audited trust account, only releasing it when legally authorised to do so.
The balance of the purchase price is paid on settlement, this is usually the day you take possession of the property.
