🏡AUGUST MARKET UPDATE🏡

August brought some encouraging movement across our four key Auckland markets, with the median sale price for the North Shore reaching $1,171,000. This represents a 0.5% increase compared with August last year and a 0.95% rise from July, continuing a consistent upward trend in Auckland house prices since March 2026.

While pricing is showing greater strength, buyer activity remains selective. Fewer sales were recorded across the North Shore, North West and Auckland City, with properties taking longer to sell and median days on market sitting at 58. Buyers are continuing to take their time, carefully considering property condition, location, price and overall value before making a decision.

For homeowners thinking about selling, this market presents an opportunity to take a strategic approach. Accurate property valuations, realistic pricing, quality marketing and strong negotiation remain essential to achieving the best possible result. For buyers, the more measured pace provides time to assess opportunities and make confident decisions.

🏡WE'RE ON THE HUNT FOR THE PERFECT HOME🏡

My clients have recently sold and ready to buy their next home!

They’re motivated to secure their new home by the end of October and, while they are actively watching the market, they are also very open to exploring homes that may not yet be advertised.

Here's what they're hoping to find:
✔️ Single level, 2-3 bedrooms
✔️ North Shore location - ideally The Bays
✔️ Sunny, low maintenance - minor renovations they can do
✔️ A place they can proudly call home

If you've been thinking about selling, or perhaps you know someone who is, this could be the perfect opportunity to make a move without waiting for your home to hit the open market.

Sometimes the right buyer is already waiting... and this could be one of those moments.

If you have a property that might be suitable, or know someone who does, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me a message or give me a call today.

🏡NORTH SHORE MARKET UPDATE - JULY🏡

The North Shore property market continues to find its feet, with prices remaining relatively steady despite a healthy level of available stock and a slower pace of sales.

The median sale price for July was $1,160,000, up 0.9% on July 2025, although down 2.9% from June. While monthly movements can fluctuate, prices remain broadly stable, and the year-on-year result continues to point to a market that has moved beyond the significant declines we saw previously.

There is certainly plenty of choice for buyers. 1,812 properties were on the market across the North Shore, a relatively high level of stock for the middle of winter. With more properties to choose from, buyers can afford to be selective and are taking their time to find the right home.

That is reflected in the 50-day median time to sell, up three days on July last year, but unchanged from June. Properties are selling, but generally not at the speed we experienced in the stronger market years.

Sales volumes remain subdued, with 278 properties selling during July, down 13.4% on the same time last year and only slightly below June's 286 sales. This tells us that while there is plenty of stock available, overall transaction volumes remain relatively low.

For sellers, this is a market where preparation and strategy matter. For buyers, the increased stock levels provide more choice and the opportunity to take their time and make considered decisions.

As we move towards spring, it will be interesting to see how increased activity and potentially more stock influence the market.

Thinking about selling, buying, or simply wondering what your property could achieve in today's market? I'd love to have a conversation. Get in touch for a complimentary, no-obligation appraisal and let's talk about your options.

🏡NORTH SHORE AUCTION UPDATE🏡

The auction room is telling an interesting story right now…

🏡 11 of 14 auctions sold under the hammer last week
📈 79% clearance rate
🔥 92% of auctions with active bidders sold

The takeaway? When the right buyers are in the room, auctions are still getting results.

Of course, the key is getting the strategy right before you get to auction day, pricing, positioning, marketing and creating the right level of competition all matter.

SHOULD YOU SELL BEFORE YOU BUY?

…and the answer is probably NOT what you think.

Buy first and risk financial pressure?
Sell first and risk having nowhere to go?

I’ve seen homeowners:
❌ carry two mortgages
❌ miss out at auction with conditional offers
❌ panic-sell under pressure
❌ stay stuck for years because they don’t know where to start

Especially on the North Shore, where auctions dominate, your strategy matters more than ever.

I’ve created a free guide:

No fluff. Just honest advice, smart strategy, and the pros & cons nobody talks about.

🏡North Shore Market Update | June 2026🏡

The North Shore property market continues to show signs of resilience, with the median sale price increasing to $1,200,000 in June. That's up 1.8% compared to June last year and 2.13% higher than May.

What's particularly interesting is that we've now seen a pattern of incremental price growth since March:
✅ March: +5.6% year-on-year
✅ April: +1.9% year-on-year
✅ May: +0.9% year-on-year
✅ June: +1.8% year-on-year

Could this mean we've seen the bottom of the market? It's still too early to say with certainty, but the trend is certainly encouraging.

While buyers remain active, they're also being more considered in their decision-making. The median days on market increased to 52 days, up 3 days from June last year and 2 days from May. Despite this, 267 properties changed hands during the month, demonstrating that buyers are still transacting when the right property comes to market.

Adding another layer to the market, the Official Cash Rate increased by 25 basis points to 2.5%. Many economists are forecasting a further 0.25% increase around September, with the possibility of additional rises later in the year. As a result, many homeowners and buyers may soon be considering whether to lock in mortgage rates for longer periods.

The key takeaway? While buyers are taking their time, confidence is improving, prices are showing gradual growth, and quality homes continue to attract strong interest.

If you're wondering what these changing market conditions mean for your property's value or your next move, I'd love to help.
