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.”

Energy-efficient homes

Easy Ways to Make Your Home More Sustainable.

Everyone wants to live in a warm, dry house - without the alarming monthly power bill. By making a few small adjustments, you can make your property warmer, drier and more energy efficient - all on a budget that can adapt as you go on.

How do you switch from gas to electric in your home

For decades, gas was promoted as a cheap, clean, “natural” source of power: stored sunshine.

Almost overnight, though, this fossil fuel is less popular: recognised as a major contributor to climate change, increasingly expensive and a potential health hazard in the home.

With gas now on the nose, the trend is New Zealand`s householders are switching to green electricity.

Where do you start?

The electric heat pump is a technology relatively new to New Zealand and Australia. Germany, in contrast, is considering banning gas boilers entirely in new buildings, with heat pumps likely to be the main replacement due to their higher efficiency.

Costing between $2500 and $5500, depending on brand and capacity, electric heat pumps work a lot like a fridge in reverse, gathering heat from the outside air and transferring it to water in a storage tank.

They are much more efficient than oldstyle electric and gas water heaters and can cost very little to run when drawing power during the day from a home’s solar panels.

If replacing your gas hot water right now is impractical, you could make a start with some passive improvements to reduce your energy usage, which are generally easy and relatively cheap.

What can you change in the kitchen?

Once you have reverse-cycle heating and cooling and heat-pump hot water, next comes the kitchen: replacing a gas cooktop with an induction hotplate.

For many, this can prove the biggest hurdle. For generations, cooking with gas was considered superior to electric: instant heat that could be carefully

controlled, far more responsive than the old-style electric-element cooktops.

What we have not known about gas, though, is its less-than-virtuous risk to health, especially our children’s.

Burning it in our kitchens, fills the air with pollutants that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Induction cookers produce zero emissions (in the home, at least) and are more efficient than gas – proving faster to boil a pot of water, for example.

The psychological barrier is understanding how they work. Induction cooktops – short for electromagnetic induction – generate a constantly changing magnetic field that transfers an electric current into metal cookware, heating it.

Digitally controlled cooking gives the ability to maintain exact temperatures and set timers, with no pan on the surface they stay cool and safe for children and pets, and they are easy to clean; although this is an important change that may cost money and effort, it will last for years and will make

Efficiency Tips

• Seal draughty windows and external doors with weather stripping and automatic door seals for a few dollars from your local hardware store.

• This is basic, but draw the curtains or blinds at night in winter to keep heat inside.

• Block up the chimney if you don’t use the fireplace.

• In old homes, cover the wall vents.

• If you have a reverse-cycle air conditioner already, then you’re at least part of the way towards turning off the gas heating.

your kitchen ecofriendly. If not sure, as a first step you could test the water with a portable single-burner unit from under $100, which plugs into a normal socket.

So, you’ve turned off the gas. What next?

You may find the journey to electrification also encourages you to improve your home’s efficiency in other ways.

First steps typically include a rooftop solar panel array and new or better insulation in the roof and under the floor for homes on stumps, which are reasonably affordable upgrades, from a few thousand dollars depending on the type of material used, such as natural wool, and the size of the home.

Then there are the major purchases: double glazing, house batteries, electric cars that can potentially reversepower your home, and renovations or new builds designed to be as energy efficient as possible. But you don’t need to have unlimited funds, alternatives like relying on fireplaces, electric stoves, getting materials from recycling centres, etc. It is about getting off gas and then slowly upgrade appliances or buy new improvements to your home.
