Latest News

Signs Auckland Housing Nearing Price Tipping Point The Auckland housing market experienced a typical end of winter sales month in August, but prices went against the normal trend by holding firm. “The Auckland market in August showed signs that it may be nearing a tipping point,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson. “Buyers are there and interested but are yet to be convinced that the upward price cycle is about to commence. They are still waiting for confirmation that the long-awaited return of rising prices is about to get underway. “It remains a solid buyers’ market, but there are signs that prices are hardening. “The median sales price for the month, at $955,000, was up marginally on that for July and the highest it has been for the past three months. “August’s median price was $15,000, or 1.6% higher than June’s median, and it is unusual

for the median price to be higher in the last month of winter than the first month of the cold season. It was also 0.5% higher than August’s median price last year. “It is a solid benchmark price from which to start the arrival of the spring selling season, and a small but welcome signal to vendors that a reversal may be in the wings.

“New listings for the month at 1,456 remained healthy, and month-end listings at 5,870 were in line with listings at this time last year. “Sales turnover in the rural and lifestyle markets in the upper North Island experienced a quiet month’s trading with turnover being slightly in excess of $36 million, in line with July’s trading.”

“The average price for the month at $1,098,487 continued to sit comfortably above $1,000,000. It was also 1.6% higher than August’s average price last year. “Sales were spread evenly across all price segments during the month, with 5% of sales being for more than $2 million. “We sold 787 properties in August. Although the second lowest number of sales in a month this year and down 6.9% on July’s sales it is unusual for prices to rise or hold firm when sales volume declines.

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

From open home advice to the benefits of listing your home, we’ve got all the tips to help you sell your home and make it more attractive to buyers. Read our top tips at barfoot.co.nz/sell/ selling-tips

De-clutter The golden rule when getting ready to present your home to the market will always be to de-clutter! Think of it as a head start on packing, so that when it’s time for open home, buyers will make an emotional connection and know where they can put all of 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. When it comes to a de-clutter, here are some of 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 look and give them a tidy-up where needed. • 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.

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. Whilst 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 – they will often arrange a partial stage for you. Home stagers can bring an assortment of accessories to ‘dress’ your home, so you retain your own furniture but add the appeal of latest styles or decoration to achieve a showhome presentation. For an empty or investment home, it’s a great idea to use staging to help your agent achieve the best selling price for your property.

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.

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.

Doors that don’t shut property, holes in walls, peeling wallpaper or leaky taps are just some of the things that can turn off buyers and are relatively easy to fix.

Make an entrance Your front door is one of the first things buyers see, so make sure it looks inviting. Dress it up with a new coat of paint and consider adding a bold street number that matches your home’s unique style. Buyers value privacy, so if you’ve got a clear glass door, think about replacing it with something opaque or solid. Is your garden path crooked? Make sure you fix any broken or uneven concrete, and rid your path of moss or mildew - it should be clean and not slippery.

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.
