2 | THE MILFORD MONTHLY AUGUST 2022 BETTER NEVER STOPS UPDATE FROM KRISTINA MARMONT
Not only are we now the largest Harcourts franchise in New Zealand by far, but we have more than 500 people working for our clients every day. If anyone asks why we have invested at this time, I explain that it’s because the northern reaches of Auckland offer very exciting opportunities now and into the future that we want to be ready for REINZ figures came out for June this week, and the figures were encouraging. Auckland residential prices increased 0 5% compared to June last year (now $1 156 million), and the city saw a 2.8% increase on last month. This means the market is holding steady and looking very encouraging as we head into Spring.
A set marketing campaign, every pair of interested eyes on your property, and a tangible sale date all add up to a good experience for you While others are advising against auctions, we are attaining excellent results with our auction experts. I hope everyone is enjoying the school holidays and quality family time!
The number of sales across the North Shore has eased significantly, seeing less volume compared to a year ago, which was expected. Median days to sell has also increased, which is why it’s the perfect time to look at selling by auction

There’s one encouraging trend to cheer about in this month’s REINZ data release of July real estate statistics. North Shore’s median price has gone up to $1.398 million and while our sales volumes are understandably down given it is winter and mortgage interest rates are changeable, to say the least we’ve seen a 2% increase on July last year However, there were 209 sales, which is a drop of 47% on last year (397) and the number of days to sell has gone up 11 days to 44. North Shore’s median price in July 2020 was $1.075 million and in July 2021 was $1.37 million.

Rather it is because buyers have stepped back; some deterred by successive initiatives to dampen investor appetite, others hampered by changes to the Credit Contracts and Consumer Financing Act (CCCFA) and reintroduction of LVRs.

In a distinguished career spanning nearly four decades, Harcourts Cooper & Co managing director Martin Cooper has personally listed and sold more than 400 properties by auction and his company has sold more than 22,000 listings since 1991.
p
During this period, the North Shore resident has always been guided by his defining beliefs “real estate is more about people than it is about houses”, and “better never stops” “Homes bring people together and build relationships, and it’s where we celebrate our highs and lows, ” Martin says “Today, more than ever, our homes have become our sanctuaries, our bubbles. Helping people move into a home that suits them and seeing families achieve security and financial freedom that’s the most powerful thing about real estate.”
