Happy 2021 from Proppy
Wow – January has started off with a hiss and a roar in the property market!
Just last week we sold a house within only 3 days! It was listed Sunday, multiple offers placed and it was sold by Tuesday!
A prime example that the property market in Canterbury and across New Zealand continues to run hot.
You only need to look at the Canterbury Statistics (REINZ) below, to confirm this:
2020 ended with a bang.
· New Zealand Median house prices increased 19.3% year-on-year
· $749,000 - was the median house price in December 2020
· $628,000 - the median price for December 2019
· That’s an $121,000 increase in the median house price
· As the total pool of properties available for sale in New Zealand falls to record lows, this is continuing to put pressure on house prices, with the country seeing a new record median house price for the fourth month in a row according to the latest data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ).
· Canterbury Median house prices increased 16.5% year-on-year
· $536,000 - was the median house price in December 2020
· $460,000 - the median price for December 2019
· That’s an $76,000 increase in the median house price
· This is the fifth consecutive month of record median house prices for the region.
· Attendance at open homes did not slow in December as would normally be expected in the lead up to Christmas
· 45.6% uplift in sales volumes from December 2019
· 1,360 properties sold in December 2020 compared to 934 properties sold in December 2019
· This was the highest number of properties sold in a December month ever.
· More properties are going to auction, so buyers are getting their finance sorted early where possible
· 11.9% increase of all sales in December 2019
· 24.1% was the total of all sales by auction in December 2020
· This is the highest percentage of sales by auction for the region since records began.
· The upward pressure on prices is likely to continue as inventory decreased -36.6% year-on-year to the lowest level on record
