Uncertainty has been a popular word recently. Uncertainty is why people have been slower to buy property. Uncertainty is why people have not wanted to commit to borrowing more money. Uncertainty is why many people have decided to sit back and see how the market plays out before making investment decisions.
The current economic landscape, property prices adjusting and interest rates constantly rising has cr eated a notable shift in the property market. We have noticed this a lot in the rural and lifestyle property sectors in recent months.
Let’s look at what has changed during the past year.
The rural property market has experienced a decline in sales activity, according to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ). In the three months ending March 2023, there were 182 fe wer farm sales (a decrease of 44.2 percent) compared to the same period in 2022. This decline suggests a cautious approach from farmers, likely due to economic uncertainties. Overall, there were 230 farm sales during this period, down from 412 sales in the previous year.
The median price per hectare for all farms sold in the three months ending March 2023 was $28,520, reflecting a 5.1 percent decrease comp ared to March 2022. The REINZ All Farm Price Index, which accounts for variations in farm size, location, and farming type, decreased by 1.7 percent during the same period. While no regions recorded an increase in farm sales, Wellington and Auckland experienced relatively smaller declines, while Taranaki and Southland faced the largest decreases.
The median sales price per hec tare for dairy farms was $39,620 in the three months ending March 2023, representing a 4.6 percent increase compared to the previous year. The median dairy
farm size during this period was 138 hectares. On a price per kilo of milk solids basis, the median sales price was $37.13 per kg of milk solids, showing a slight decrease compared to previous periods.
The median sales price per hectare for finishing farms was $37,375 in the three months ending March 2023, reflecting a 12.5 percent increase over the past 12 months. The median finishing farm size during this period was 37 hectares.
The median sales price per hectare for grazing farms was $12,350 in the three months ending March 2023, experiencing a decrease of 10.7 percent over the past 12 months. The median grazing farm size during this period was 170 hectares.
The median sales price per hectare for horticulture farms was $367,340 in the three months ending March 2023, representing a significant decrease of 33.5 percent over the past year. The median horticulture farm size during this period was 5 hectares.
The lifestyle property market has also witnessed changes in sales act ivity and median prices. In the three months ending March 2023, there were 93 more lifestyle property sales (an increase of 8.9 percent) compared to the previous three months. However, when compared to the same period in 2022, there was a significant decline of 32.6 percent in sales.
The median price for all lifestyle properties sold in the three months ending March 2023 was $970,000, representing a 6.5 pe rcent decrease from March 2022. Like the rural property market, the lifestyle property market also experienced regional variations in sales activity.
Auckland
In the three months ending March 2023, Auckland experienced a 2.2 percent increase in lifestyle property sales compared to the same period in the previous year. The median price for lifestyle properties in Auckland was $1,730,000, representing a 2.8 percent decrease from March 2022.
Wellington
Wellington saw a substantial decrease of 46.8 percent i n lifestyle property sales compared to the same period last year. The median price for lifestyle properties in Wellington was $1,065,000, reflecting a 2.7 percent decrease from March 2022.
Canterbury
Canterbury witnessed a decline of 15.5 percent in lifestyle property sales compared to the previous year. The median price for lifestyle properties in Canterbury was $790,000, indicating a 3.7 percent decrease from March 2022.
Waikato
Waikato experienced a significant decrease of 38.5 percent in lifestyle property sales compared to the same period in the previous year. The median price for lifestyle properties in Waikato was $900,000, showing a 5.3 percent decrease from March 2022.
The potential impact of changing interest rates on the rural and lifestyle property market should no t be overlooked. Economist Tony Alexander suggests a high probability of an early cut in interest rates. Lower interest rates make borrowing more affordable, which can influence buyer behaviour and potentially drive-up property prices.
Alexander believes we can say with confidence that we are now at the bottom of the house price cycle.
“What's likely to start happening now is the two year queue of people wh o have held off buying a property is likely to start stepping forward,” he said.
However, it's important to note that the overall impact of interest rate changes on the property market is complex and can vary based on other factors such as economic conditions, market sentiment, and government policies. After all, it is an election year.
The rural and lifestyle property market has experienced fluctuations in sales activity and median prices. Economic headwinds and cautious behaviour from farmers have contributed to a decline in rural property sales. On the other hand, the lifestyle property market has seen regional variations, with some areas experiencing declines while others maintain stability.
The impact of changing interest rates remains a key factor to watch in the coming months. If intere st rates are lowered as anticipated, it may provide a path for increased buyer activity and potentially drive-up property prices.
As the market continues to evolve, it's essential for buyers, sellers, and investors to stay informed and consult with industry professionals for the most up-to-date insights and guidance.
Dave Young LJ Hooker Rural Sector ManagerTraceability, Free Range, Food Ethics, Animal Wellbeing, Purposeful Life, Food miles, Locally Grown, Carbon Neutral. These words and phrases are not simply buzz words of the 20th century; they are expectations insisted on by customers.
The meat chicken industry has been squarely focused on these points well before consumers have been asking for it, thus future proofing itself and its farmers by staying ahead of consumer expectation.
Iron Hill Chicken Farm plays an integral part in this equation. This reputable modern fully compliant property has a new 6-year contract to rear approx. one million birds annually for Inghams Enterprises - arguably New Zealand’s leading processor. An attractive proposition for buyers looking to a secure a business with a competitive return on capital without sacrificing their work life balance.
Viewing the property is the only way to fully appreciate all that it has to offer. Call Peter or Rex to make that appointment.

Set aside any preconceived perceptions you might have!
Farming Peking Ducks may not be the next “big thing”, but it sure does come close. This controlled entry industry continues to grow at a steady pace strengthening and protecting your investment. For a long time Duck meat has been a staple on restaurant menus all over the world, and now for all the same beneficial reasons its popularity is growing rapidly throughout New Zealand and is now commonly available in our restaurants and supermarkets.
The weekly cash flow generated here is year-round and largely unaffected by climatic conditions. Subtract the relatively low costs and you’re left with a refreshingly attractive profit.
The duck growing facility is only one piece of this unique property. A large-scale selfcontained dairy heifer grazing unit consisting of approximately 175 ha stands on its own merits. The land is clean rolling hill with some sidlings, all of which is well subdivided, with plenty of mowable area.
A decent set of partially covered cattle yards, disused wool shed, and three bedroom weather board cottage plus sleepout complete this neat proposition. Need more convincing? Then we suggest you pick up the phone, make the call and come see for yourself.

The main home is a great family home with a swimming pool and a large carport to accommodate at least four vehicles.
The property also has another cottage for any farm labour needed on site. A great size property with many options being available with the multiple titles. Give Jack a call to learn more about this dairy unit.

Good things often come in small packages - a sentiment that rings true for this Wharepuhunga dairy farm supplying Fonterra. It consistently produces over a 1000kgs/ ha from 170 crossbreed cows with minimal inputs and without the use of PKE.
Farm infrastructure includes an 18 ASHB supported by the usual array of farm buildings/ calf rearing facilities and haybarns etc. The property is subdivided into approx. 45 paddocks accessed by a network of good quality races. Something less common on blocks this size is the fact that there are two homes and two titles.
In summary a great little property dominated by its attractive easy contour in a the heart of a desirable location.
