1. The Rise in NZ Property Value
We all know New Zealand to be a beautiful country so it’s easy to understand that national
property values have risen gradually on a continuing basis. Since the beginning of 2011
property value has increased and is currently 1.2 percent above the value of property at this
time last year. The market peak that occurred in 2007 was just 4.4 percent higher than
current values. If you are looking to purchase a new home or investment property or even
sell property then the following article will help you make an informed decision.
Jonno Ingerson, Research Director of QV.co.nz. says “The Auckland City revaluation has
now been completed and the capital value (CV) of every property updated. The QV
residential property index is based on the ratio between sales price and these CVs. As a
result of the changing CVs there has been a slight one-off adjustment to the indices for
Auckland, making it appear as if values dropped slightly from September to October. The
raw underlying data actually show that values have continued to increase and the index
next month is likely to once again show the upward trend we have seen in recent months”
This is good news for Real Estate Manawatu as home owners and investors can expect to
see their own properties increase in value.
The NZ property values in Auckland City have experienced an increase of 4.4 percent from
the start of 2011. The remainder of the Auckland area has enjoyed increases in property
values ranging from 1.6 and 2.0 percent. Many areas over New Zealand have seen a slight
increase in new property listings and should see this eventuate into increased sales however
has not yet come into fruition. The last 20 years has seen a trend where sales would
increase during October and November however this has changed over the recent years and
increases are occurring more now during February and March. Currently, the average New
Zealand Property value has been sitting at around $399,821. Those with an interest in
Property Manawatu, either for selling or purchasing can benefit greatly from talking to a
