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.

Energy-efficient homes

Source: theage.com.au

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 old-style 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 your kitchen ecofriendly.

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.

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 reverse-power 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. New Zealand’s government is developing a plan for managing the gas industry’s transition to a low emissions future, while Auckland’s council has a complete guide and online resources to create a healthy, energy-efficient homes.

Latest News August’s Monthly Rental Market Update

Rental market marks time in August September 2026 The rental market marked time in August as activity slowed and the broader conditions remained steady, with no change in prices or stock levels.

Stock levels were virtually unchanged in August, with 779 homes available for rent at the end of the month, compared with 777 in July.

Data from Barfoot & Thompson’s portfolio of rental homes across Auckland, Northland and Bay of Plenty shows there were 22,165 enquiries about properties for let during August, down 15.3% from July.

“Stock levels are relatively high, but are down on much of last year, when the number of available rentals stayed well above 800 most months of the year,” says Anil.

Attendance at property viewings and applications also eased in line with the drop in enquiries. Overall, a total of 588 properties were let, 9.5% fewer than in July. “The market was ticking along in August, and not rushing in any particular direction thanks to steady prices and good stock levels,” says Anil Anna, General Manager Property Management at Barfoot & Thompson. “While activity is quieter, renters are still out and about, and wellpresented properties at the right price are continuing to attract interest.”

The average weekly rent in Auckland was flat too, hovering just under the $700 mark, where it’s been for much of the year, finishing August at $699.00, up just 0.9% on last year. “The current combination of stable rents, good availability and slightly less competition than we saw in July, mean people thinking about moving have a bit more time to consider their options.” In Auckland, weekly rents for one and two-bedroom properties were showing slightly stronger annual rent increases than other sized-homes, up 1.2% and 1.1% respectively, while large homes with five or more bedrooms saw

the least change at 0.6% year-onyear. By area in Auckland, rents rose the most for homes on the North Shore and in Rodney, up 1.9% and 1.7% respectively, but were down 0.3% in the central city apartment market. Things were similar around Northland, with no movement in rents month-on-month, and a 1.7% increase year-on-year, settling at an average of $584.18 per week. In Bay of Plenty, where the company operates branches in Cherrywood, Mount Maunganui, Ōmokoroa and Waihi, the average weekly rent was $660.26 in August, moving less than a dollar compared to July, but up 3.8% on last year.

Meet the Team #5 Branch Manager, to end March 2026 As a Branch Manager, I can confidently state that I’m an expert in real estate and that my experience in sales, regulations and training sets me apart from the crowd. Over the last 15 years, I have immersed myself in the outcomes, surprises, complications, successes, fluctuations and positive endings for both my clients and those that I have managed. I intimately understand industry best practice and back not just my team in Mt Eden, but also the 1,500+ salespeople that form the Barfoot & Thompson network.

Teresa Weiss Branch Manager 0272 868 439

My sales career began in 2002 in the Eastern bays area, where I built a reputation for action and results. Within my first year, I was recognised as a top achiever. Because of this, I was approached to coach and mentor others in the industry. Since then, I have guided some of New Zealand’s top salespeople as they have navigated various market cycles. I believe my professional strength lies in my grasp of the psychology behind selling and the strategies needed to achieve top results. This savvy also has a way of making the real estate process look effortless and has assisted hundreds of real estate salespeople kick start their careers. My knowledge of the intricacies of the industry and my ability to negotiate, is what drives results for clients and makes me a great advisor. For a team that knows how to find you the ideal home or the best sale price, look no further.
