There was a hint of spring in the air at Barfoot & Thompson's latest auctions, with more properties being offered and more selling under the hammer.
Auckland's biggest real estate agency offered 86 residential properties at its latest auctions (17-23 September), up from 64 the previous week and 73 the week before that.
Of those, 27 sold under the hammer, giving an overall sales rate of 31%, up from 23% for each of the previous two weeks.
One of the biggest improvements was at the west Auckland auctions where the overall sales rate lifted to 42%.
The sales rates for Waitakere properties have often been closer to 10% in recent weeks.
So is this the start of the usual spring pickup for the real estate market?
Too soon to say, but it may be a step in that direction.
Details of the individual properties offered at all of the auctions monitored by interest.co.nz. including the prices of the properties that sold, are available on our Residential Auction Results page.
