April 16 2024 - The real estate market continues to be in recovery mode with several regions recording higher prices in March compared to the same time last year.

The national median sale price has increased in March 2024 by 2.7% from $779,000 to $800,000 year-on-year; it also increased by 1.1% from February 2024, from $791,500 to $800,000. For New Zealand, excluding Auckland, the median price also increased – it was up by 2.3% year-on-year from $695,000 to $711,000, and up by 0.1% month-on-month from $710,000 to $711,000.

This is the second consecutive month prices have increased. Along with the increased year-on-year levels of sales and listings, it indicates New Zealand is past the lowest point of this market cycle.

The total number of properties sold for New Zealand increased in March (+7.4%) compared to February 2024, from 6,073 to 6,521, and up 8% year-on-year, from 6,040 to 6,521.

Compared to March 2023, prices were up by 5% in Auckland, 9.3% in Wellington, 8.2% in Hawke's Bay, 7.5% in Nelson an 5.2% in Otago, while other regions recorded small increases or decreases. Bay of Plenty was down 4.3%.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SELL A PROPERTY?

The median number of days to sell in March was 38, down six days on the same time in 2023. Listings increased substantially, up by 23.9% nationally compared with March 2023, reinforcing a trend that has been occurring since the beginning of 2024.

Methods of sale have changed overall with auctions less favoured and other methods becoming more popular. However, while fewer properties are selling under the hammer, many do sell within days afterwards if the price is right.

Current market conditions, with ample stock, continue to amplify the importance of choosing a highly competent real estate agent with strong negotiation skills, rather than settling for an average one.

If contemplating selling a residential property, a farm or a business and wanting assurance that your real estate agent has been proven competent, request a list of vetted real estate agents - it's a free service for New Zealand vendors selling all property types.

Get in touch or call 0800 789 532 or find out more first - we're here to help.

Your decisions around which real estate agent you choose when selling your Auckland house will have a direct impact on the price you achieve from the sale, the time your home takes to sell - and your whole real estate experience in general. 

Choosing a Real Estate Agent isn’t a process that should be taken lightly but it's something we can help you with.

Here at Agent Finder NZ, we have been vetting Auckland real estate agents for free, for a decade, to help home sellers raise their expectations of real estate agents' services. For example, integrity, best practice, market knowledge, competencies, communication and negotiation skills.

Providing you with accurate real estate appraisals to review, is the single most important starting point, so you can make properly informed decisions about establishing a sale price range, choosing the right method of sale and other decisions needing to be made.

There is a lot involved with the home selling process and much of it legal, so you are going to need to find an agent in your area of Auckland who you can rely for accurate real estate advice to help you sell your house fast and for the best price.

This is what we specialise in - finding the very best agents across Auckland and beyond and it's a 100% free, no obligation service as described below.

CRITERIA FOR SHORTLISTING THE BEST AGENTS WORKS

We use over 20 indicators across five categories when vetting real estate agents, then provide you with a shortlist of the best agents for your property and location. You can then use our Agent Questionnaire when you interview them, to help make the right decision, objectively.

Selling a house can be unexpectedly complex for a variety of reasons. Although you may have all your ducks in a row, your buyer may not. This is often a point at which a real estate agent's skills are really put to the test.

Using a vetted real estate agent will give you confidence that any issues that arise from the outset to the end can be managed competently. In fact, we find that vetted property agents go above and beyond the basics to make a real estate experience with them, the best possible. 

SAFEST WAY TO CHOOSE THE BEST REAL ESTATE AGENTS

Using Real Estate Agent Finder is the safest way to find and choose the best agents. The vetting process involves Agent Finder performing a thorough check on real estate agents using our strict checklist.

For us to even recommend an Auckland Real Estate Agent to you, they must meet our strict competence criteria.

Real Estate Agents in Auckland need to have extensive market knowledge and experience, particularly when working in the current Auckland Property Market. Agents are not all equal.

We ensure you have access to the most reputable, current information to make wise decisions and are working with the Best Real Estate Agent when selling your house. Your sale price depends on it.

AGENT FINDER OFFERS YOU THE FOLLOW SERVICES - ALL FREE

When you think about the money that is at stake, a good real estate agent can be the difference between underselling and getting your optimal sale price.

Their knowledge of the Auckland Property Market, resources, negotiation skills, expertise and general experience all play a huge role when it comes to selling your home.

Furthermore, Real Estate Agents cannot log in to our service and promote themselves. Agent Finder is a bespoke service, tailored to you, your property type, location and price range. There is no one size fits all in real estate.

We help you find the best Real Estate Agents Auckland wide by providing you with the following services and exclusive Agent Finder NZ resources:

• * Reputable information from authorities on commission and fees, legal advice, real estate appraisals, tax and property valuations
• * A tailored shortlist of vetted Auckland Real Estate Agents
• * You review and compare the shortlist and decide if you wish to interview the Real Estate Agents

REAL ESTATE AGENT VETTING A RELIEF FOR CHRISTCHURCH HOME SELLERS   

We assess the competence of Christchurch real estate agents using a criteria which includes 20 indicators across five categories, to establish best practice services, competencies, excellent conduct and character, all tailored to you and your property and within just a few hours. 

Real estate agents are required to liaise not just with you, but with buyers, building inspectors, insurers, EQC, lawyers, valuers, banks, Council, surveyors, builders, floor levellers, plumbers and drainlayers so they can respond to buyer inquiries about your house competently and with integrity. They will advise buyers about information contained in numerous reports, Titles, LIM’s and PIM’s and can be held to account for inaccurate advice. Your house may be in perfect condition but buyers and their lawyers will ask the questions. 

We understand the complexities that can occur at a point of sale (or any other time) which too often fall over due to ill-equipped or unprepared real estate agents. It doesn’t have to be like this. 

Selling a house in Christchurch is no small task and the responsibilities of a real estate agent by the industry authority are many. Request a shortlist of vetted real estate agents to appraise your property. 

YOU COMPARE REAL ESTATE AGENTS SHORTLISTED

Agent Finder Christchurch can provide you with a short list of two to three agents to interview using our ‘Questions to Ask Real Estate Agents’.  

This helps you to acquire all the information you should need, to make a properly informed decision. You will know what to look for, be able to compare their market appraisals, commission and fees, marketing and advertising and other services they offer using our checklist, all at no cost. This will all be emailed to you with the agents short listed.
