All over the country, the number of sales and median residential property prices and number of sales rose in March according to the latest figures released by the (REINZ) as buyers were spoilt for choice because of large increases in listings. The President of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand Peter McDonald describes the apparently strengthening residential property market as most encouraging. “Despite an abundance of good listings at present, we are still seeing prices going up as a result of strong demand from genuine home buyers,” he says. “After dropping to just 3666 in January, the number of sales (nationally) broke through the 6000 barrier last month which is seven percent better than last year. What is happening now is in strong contrast to the market in November when listings were short and prices went up because demand was not being met,” he says. While the latest national median residential house price is only $500 up on the December figure, it is more than 7 percent up on the median price
for the corresponding month last year.

The Kapiti Coast (an hour’s drive north of New Zealand’s capital city) is a popular and steadily growing region. However, just like any area there will always be properties coming on the market for sale. Some properties sell quickly and fetch a good price, whilst other houses take much longer and struggle to meet the owners price expectations. Sometimes the problem is caused by something beyond the vendors control (like location on a busy road), but more often than not, the problems with the property can be remedied.
