If you haven’t been involved in an auction process before, or even if you have and would like to learn more, please take a few moments to read the information below regarding how the price expectation for an auction is generated.
As the property is being marketed and potential buyers are being taken to the listing, the agents listen carefully to the responses of the interested parties and their feedback on the value of the property – after all, buyers who are actively in the market, comparing and contrasting properties every day, generally have very valuable opinions on what the property is worth. The sales consultants will then take this feedback to the vendor.
For this reason, we ask that all interested parties view the property with an open mind and always take time to indicate to the Sales Consultant where in the market they believe the property will sell. Potential purchasers should never feel embarrassed, as there really are no right or wrong answers – the value of a property is what the market is prepared to pay at that time.
Once the buyer feedback is communicated to the vendor and as the campaign reaches a close prior to the auction, the Sales Consultant will discuss the value of the property with the vendor and set a reserve price. The reserve price for the auction is never set in advance, only in response to the feedback from the marketing campaign.
We hope this has provided you with some insight into the auction process.
Thank you for your interest in this property.

Record of Title
The Lower Density Suburban Residential Zone is the largest residential zone in the district and allows for typical residential development as well as the inclusion of a 70sqm residential flat (non-subdividable), subject to meeting bulk and location requirements. The objectives, policies and roles are contained within chapter 7 of the district plan.
The Lower Density Suburban Residential Zone is the most common residential zone in the District, providing for residential development within the urban growth boundaries. Lot sizes within this zone are typically between 450 and 1000sqm with the main building type being standalone housing. Houses should be designed to a high quality and reflect the character of the surrounding area and zone in terms of form, materials, colour, setbacks and landscaping. There is provision to allow sites down to 300sqm in area and larger comprehensively designed developments as for the construction of non-subdividable residential flats.
Well-designed low density developments can contribute positively to urban settlements if the Design Principles are followed. With larger sites, there is greater flexibility for design and site layout without adversely compromising urban design principles. However, the Design Principles and Elements outlined above and following are still relevant, and contribute to creating a higher amenity, more connected community. Community facilities and home occupations are anticipated in the zone, subject to controls as it is recognised that some activities are best suited to being within a residential community.

Like most centers around New Zealand, the Queenstown residential market has felt the effects of sustained high interest rates and restricted household spending. There has been an increased supply of homes for sale, with listings taking longer to sell, and sales volumes have reduced by around 40% from the 2021 market peak. 2024 / 2025 has seen a softening and slowing phase in the market, resulting in dynamics shifting in favour of buyers. However, displaying its trademark resilience, Queenstown has bucked the national trend of value reductions and has instead displayed continued, albeit weak, value growth across the residential market. The region continues to deliver consistent and solid capital gains in most market segments.
The lifestyle section sales market has been challenging during 2024 due to the relatively high cost of construction as well as high interest rates. As construction costs stabilise along with decreasing interest rates, sales volumes will increase in response.
