Auckland housing still moving forward from market low point
In April, the Auckland housing market gave back half the gains it made in March but overall sales continued the forward momentum being made since the low point in July last year.
“April’s trading did not match March’s breakout result, but was still a solid performance,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“It has ensured the market is still moving forward from its low point in July last year.
“Since the start of the year, the median price has increased by 4.2 percent and the average price by 11.9 percent while, compared to the low point of the price cycle, the median price is now up by 6.1 percent and the average price by 13.7 percent.
“The median sales price for April at $1,007,500, was up 1.3 percent on that 12-months ago, but down 4 percent on that for March.
“The median price still remains above the $1 million mark, which
has become something of a benchmark for the median price in Auckland.
“The average sales price at $1,212,828 in April was down on that for March by 1.2 percent and was 11.6 percent above where it was 12 months ago.
“Sales numbers for the month at 704 were down a third on those for March but the highest for the month of April for three years.
“From a buyer-choice point of view, housing remains a buyers’ market with the number of properties listed at month end at 5,770, the third month in a row that total listings have remained above 5,000.
“Total listings at month end were assisted by 1,580 new listings in April, a three-year high for new listings in the month of April.
“Sales at the top end of the market remained strong, with 57 sales valued at $2 million or more, and this represented 8.1 percent of all sales. 12 homes sold for in excess of $3 million.
“The value of property sold in the Rural and Lifestyle markets in April was $40.2 million, up nearly 50 percent on the value of property sold last April. These sales made some inroads into stock levels, however, available properties for sale remain high in these two markets, offering buyers significant choice.”

FROM SALE TO SETTLEMENT
TOP TIPS
Why working with Barfoot & Thompson can help sell your home.
In our recent editions we have discussed the steps involved in selling your home, from getting ready to sell right through to the ins and outs of offers and negotiations. This article examines what happens after the sale, and on settlement day.
Remember we have more information and a range of videos on our website to help you make the very best choices. barfoot.co.nz/sell/selling-guide
Congratulations: your property has sold!
After the bubbly has been popped and the celebrations are over, our clients often ask us: “Now what?” Not to worry, the route from sale to settlement is a relatively straight forward one, and your Barfoot & Thompson sales person will guide you every step of the way. Now what?
What do I need to do?
Unconditional vs. Settlement
Once the agreement you have signed “goes unconditional” it is legally binding, meaning both you and the purchaser now have to fulfil obligations specified in the contract in order for the property to change owership.
Deposit
Upon the sale of the property, the purchaser is required to pay a deposit. We will hold this deposit in the Barfoot & Thompson trust account for 10 working days.
We’ll work with both solicitors directly during this process and will let you know once the deposit has been transferred to your solicitor’s bank account.
Keys on Settlement
On settlement day, the remainder of the purchase price of the property is paid to you, and the Property Title is transfered to the purchaser, who will then be the new owner.
We’ll hold your house keys at our Barfoot & Thompson office until your solicitor advises us in writing that the above has taken place, at which point they’ll be made available for the new owner to collect. We won’t release your keys until we are legally entitled to do so.
There is a number of things you’re required to do as part of your duties as a vendor:
• You must ensure all chattels included in the sale are in reasonable working order on settlement date. Excepting fair wear and tear, they should be in the same condition they were in on the date of sale. If there is any significant damage, the purchaser is entitled to compensation from you.
• You must ensure all bills for electricity, gas, water and rates on the property are up to date. There should be no outstanding charges on the accounts on settlement day.
Before Settlement:
• Make an appointment with your bank to discuss your financial arrangements for settlement day, and to sign the necessary financial documents.
• Make an appointment with your solicitor. You’ll need to arrange to sign the necessary legal documents to transfer the property from your name into that of the new owners.
• Organise the move! Arrange for someone to look after your children or elderly family members during the packing/ moving process if required. Book a moving company if you’re using one, and start collecting boxes and newspaper to pack your things in.
• Arrange the transfer of water, telephone, electricity and gas services. You’ll need to contact your service providers to notify them that you’re moving, and have all services at the property transferred from your name. You’ll also need to arrange final readings on the day of your move.
• Transfer any other services and organise your change of address.
• If your property is tenanted, you may have arranged with the purchaser that the tenants stay on under the new ownership. If so, this should have been included in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. If not, the property must be vacant on settlement date.
On Settlement Day:
• If the property is sold with vacant possession, then you must let the purchaser (or anyone authorised by them in writing) complete a property check prior to settlement. They’ll check the condition of the property, including the chattels and fixtures that are included in the sale. They must give you reasonable notice for this visit.
• On the day of possession, you must make all keys available to the purchaser.
• The set of keys should include all exterior door keys, electronic door openers and keys or codes to any alarms on the property. If the property is tenanted, however, these items will remain with the tenant(s).
It’s good to remember that in between the date of sale and the date of settlement, the property and chattels remain in your name. This means you are responsible for any damage that may occur between the sale and the settlement date.

Meet the team
Branch Manager 021 146 2720
I first stepped into the property industry in 2008, and since then my career has gone from strength to strength. I’ve represented a number of New Zealand’s leading real estate brands, won multiple awards along the way, and gained a reputation as a top performer with a wealth of experience across property sales, business ownership and management.
I am known for my tireless work ethic, high energy, expert knowledge and ability to lead strategic business growth.
I also have a strong desire to succeed, which plays perfectly into my role as branch manager at Parnell - inspiring my team to aim high, achieve great things, grow and develop, and find reward and satisfaction in their work, every day. Of course, Barfoot & Thompson provides the perfect platform upon which we can all do this, thanks to the company’s vast network, market-leading position and outstanding access to resources and support.
We’re very fortunate to be working in the Parnell area, as this offers a unique backdrop for our operations. We consistently enjoy dominant market share in the suburb – likely due to the fact that we’re passionate about the area, have great local knowledge, and are experienced in selling the wide variety of properties on offer.
Looking ahead, my focus for the branch revolves around elevating our service offering and growing our sales and property management capability. I also intend to expand the team, building on our already impressive track record for great customer service, and stellar sales results.
Whether you’re considering buying or selling a property, or contemplating a career change, I would be delighted to assist. Feel free to call me at Barfoot & Thompson Parnell, and let’s explore the possibilities.
