This is great news for potential home buyers. It may bring down house prices.
I thought we have been reading property news that house prices are rising and not enough listings in the market. Well, this news would provide some comfort to buyers.

Aug 08 to Aug 09, by eye ball the season adjusted up-tick seems similar. There is still a definite down trend. Not enough data really to make a meaningful analysis.

The fact is certainly that
The fact is certainly that there has been an increase in listings coming onto the market. The fact is that these listings have not come on at the same rate as in prior years and that the rise has come later in than prior years.
The NZ Property Report published on the 1st day of each month provides this data from the website of realestate.co.nz. The October report published on the 1st November stated that whereas the season lift from Sep to Oct is typically of the order of 20% this year it was only 7%.
The data for this report is aggregated from the realestate.co.nz website - this website has 94% of all licensed real estate office's listings and is therefore the most comprehensive database for real estate listings - in October 13,550 new residential listings came onto the market.
Whilst listing are lower than expected the market still has on a national basis over 34 weeks of inventory - it does vary by region.
By comparison Trade me property features less licensed real estate listings but does include private sale listings, therefore aggregating the two data sources will potentially cause distortions to the data.

Bernard, This is great report.
Bernard, This is great report.
So long as the same consistent methodology is used to derive the monthly index, I think it is an awesome report. I appreciate it, keep it up. Cheers.
The rise has come later
The rise has come later than in previous years because the Sept/Oct weather has been worse in than in previous years. Generally there has been too much rain to get the gardens looking nice and to finish all those other outdoor odd jobs.
The data is informative and
The data is informative and useful as it includes the private sale listings.
