The Market Pulse in January 2019
January has been an eventful month with Waikato, Manawatu/Wanganui, Marlborough, Otago and Southland achieving record median house prices. Auckland and Canterbury
Auckland’s median house price of $800,000 is the lowest we’ve seen for 35 months. Although areas such as Manukau City, Waitakere City and Auckland City have experienced decent annual increases, showing that there is still good growth within the Auckland region.
In total, 14 of the 16 regions are showing an increase in median house price when compared to January 2018, with 9 regions reporting more than a 10% increase. When compared to last month, 9 of the 16 regions are showing an increase, 3 more than last months report.
The median number of days to sell a property has lengthened when compared to this time last year. Nationally – 48 days (from 46 days in January 2018), New Zealand excluding Auckland – 46 days (the same as January 2018) and Auckland reporting 51 days (6 days longer than January 2018).
Looking at the mean weekly rent for our six main city
Reported mortgage interest rates for January do not display any notable change. Fixed rates

This table shows monthly median house prices. The data is sourced from REINZ via interest.co.nz and is subject to revision. The ‘median price’ is the middle price. It is different from the ‘average price’ (also known as the ‘mean price’). REINZ uses medians to provide a more accurate measure of the “mid-point” of house prices that reflects what most people are going to be buying and selling houses for.
