Auckland house buyers out in force in May, setting new sales highs
House buyers were out in force during May in Auckland, with sales for the month increasing by more than a quarter on those in the previous month and reaching their highest in the month of May for four years.
“May was an exceptional month with sales of 1,072 properties, the third month in a row where sales numbers for the month have established post 2021 records,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“Sales in May were up 27.3 percent on those for April. From a sales number perspective, the market is humming.
“Contributing to the high turnover in property is that prices are static, with the median sales price for the month at $928,500 and the average sales price at $1,085,751.
“The market is in one of those rare moments where prices are stalled and now represent better value for money than at any time in the last two to three years.
“Buyers are recognising the market is potentially on the
cusp of change and are taking advantage of the prices on offer.
“The number of homes for sale remains high, with 1,855 new listings in the month, a nine-year high for May, bringing the number of homes on our books at month end to 6,083. This is double the number of homes for sale in 2021 when sales prices peaked.
“The level of new apartment style homes reaching the market is beginning to influence market statistics.
“For example, 30 percent of the homes we sold in May were valued at under $750,000, while five years ago, only 7 percent of the homes we sold in May were in this price category.
“As well as making homes more accessible to those on limited incomes, the volume of apartment style homes being sold are keeping in check the market’s median and average sales values.
“At the top end of the market, sales of properties in the $2 million and above price category remain strong, with monthly sales in this price segment year-to-
date running at 57, their highest post the 2021/2022 price peak.
“The rural and lifestyle markets to the north, south and west of the Auckland metropolitan area also experienced a strong lift, with sales for the month reaching nearly $80m, our highest monthly sales in these markets this year.
“Compared to April, rural and lifestyle sales numbers were up 61 percent, and total sales values were up 30 percent.”

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 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 electricelement 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.
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.
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. 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, energyefficient homes. Click here to learn more.
