What the summer surge means for you.
AI summary
Auckland’s property market has surged this summer, with the average asking price jumping 9.9% month-on-month to $1.12M.
For buyers, a massive increase in stock provides significant choice and negotiating power. There is also a growing number of listings under $800,000, suiting first-home buyers.
Sellers should note that top searches are for properties with a pool, freehold title, and home & income potential. The rental market remains relatively stable at $705/week, offering tenants relief.
