Auckland house sales pull back from entering new territory
Auckland house sales activity quietened in April after a busy March, with only a marginal increase in the average price, and sales numbers down significantly.
“April’s prices show that Auckland house prices have pulled back from breaking into new territory,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.
“The average price for April at $873,599 was up only 0.8 percent on that for March, and 8.6 percent ahead of where it was in April last year. For the past year we have been looking at monthly year-on-year increases of around 12 percent.
