The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) says the number of properties which sold for more than $1 million has risen dramatically in the past year.
REINZ, which represents members of the real estate industry, said 18,181 properties sold for more than a million in 2020, up 68 per cent from 10,819 in 2019.
The new figure also set a new record, beating 11,619 million-dollar plus sales in 2016.
REINZ Chief Executive Bindi Norwell said “when Covid-19 first hit New Zealand’s shores in Q1 2020, no one would have predicted that the year would become a record breaker for property prices and that we would conclude the year with a 68 per cent uplift in the number of million-dollar plus properties sold.
