🏡 June was the quietest month yet in the Martinborough residential market.

Just 2 properties sold during the month with a total sales volume of $1,450,000. With a transaction count this low the median sale price of $725,000 tells us very little about the broader market and should be read with that firmly in mind.

Two sales do not define a market. But they do raise questions worth asking.

Get in touch with our team if you would like to understand what the Martinborough market means for your property.

The median residential sale price reached $510,000, the highest June median recorded for this town in three years and up on both the $457,000 from June 2025 and $460,000 from June 2023.

6 properties settled during the month with a total sales volume of $3,429,000. Homes sold in a median of just 38 days, just over five weeks from listing to sold and the second fastest month of the year for Featherston.
