📊 Dargaville Market Insights for June
June's figures reveal that the median sale price in Dargaville was $532,500 compared to $560,000 in June last year, showing a -4.9% drop. As always, our median price fluctuates month to month given the relatively small number of sales in our area, but our 12 month median remains consistent at $520,000.
We saw 8 properties sell this June - slightly fewer than the 10 transactions in June last year. Days to sell came in at 85, up from 78 days in June 2025, showing properties are taking a little longer to move.
Across the wider Kaipara District, the median sale price was $615,000 - up 9.8% compared to $560,000 in June 2025, with 25 sales completed, which is on par with 24 sales last year.
June walks us straight into winter, which tends to be a slower season in many industries. Believe it or not we are past the shortest day and these figures show us a settled market with little pressure to make quick decisions. Buyers have been taking a very slow and measured approach. However, the Reserve Bank's recent decision to increase the OCR to 2.50% has created some urgency - many buyers are acting now before mortgage rates climb further. This was largely expected and many rates have already adjusted, but it will affect borrowing power. Talk of further increases later in the year could put downward pressure on prices, as higher interest rates mean smaller loan approvals, which directly limits how high property prices can climb.
If you've been waiting to buy at the bottom of the market with low interest rates, now is the time to act. If your selling, don't expect the market to rise, price accordingly to capitalise on the increased buyer activity right now, and move on with your next chapter. 🙌
If you're wondering what all this means for your property, or whether now's the right time to make a move - give me a call. Let's talk!
