Not a single region in the country experienced an increase in the number of properties sold during August 2017 (compared to the same time last year) – a phenomenon that has only happened three times in the last seven years, according to the latest data from the Real Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) – source of the most complete and accurate real estate data in New Zealand.

Overall, the number of properties sold across the country fell by 20% during August, a reduction of 1,472 properties, when compared to the same time last year. This is the equivalent of 47 less properties being sold each day in August 2017 when compared to August 2016.
