The latest national residential property figures from Harcourts NZ tells an interesting story across the country.

The average national house price in November 2018 rose by 2.13% on November 2017 to now sit at $638,992. This is a $33.6K increase on the October 2018 average of $605,389.

In Auckland the average house price is back 8.66% on the same period in 2017 with the average for the month sitting at $955,852.

Sales were down from the same period in 2017 from 480 to 422. This is due in large to the slow rate of listings we saw come through in October this year, but we expect this to climb throughout the summer months.
