is the tide turning or was this due to bad weather on auction day?

Looks like it needs a new kitchen and bathroom. I noted the other day that there appear to be some good buys in the do up area. CV is 550K so still not too bad a price. Probably needs 50k+ to make it nice.

The simple fact is that people can only pay up to the amount that their bank has approved. The available credit dictates the market price.

No more finance available. We are sitting on our hands. Not a good thing. Watch residential development stall due to a lack of available funding. Its already starting. The long game still looks good for holding Auckland property. It's probably a good time to buy if you have cash. I don't see how prices can fall much when the supply side is only getting worse.

Yep, it's hard to get finance now for investors. An old work mate emailed his usual contacts at the big banks to check if he can borrow to buy a property in Mt Wellington. He got all the replies back within an hour with a big fat "NO"

Without hot overseas money and easy credit, we've now reached a stalemate as the only available money is local. In a perfect world, prices won't fall much if sellers hold onto their stock. Prices won't rise much either as no one is able to buy. Stalemate.

HOWEVER - it only takes a couple of distressed sales in one street to bring the value of the whole neighbourhood down. One bad apple can ruin the bunch.

Good time for the negatively geared to sit and use their salary to top up their mortgages for a year or two.

Yes. See page 13 of latest CoreLogic property report -

Could it be Kiwis earning and paying tax in NZ were never really in the "disconnected from reality" market...?

Those with family money or having sold other assets were probably the only domestic group able to compete against the international money and the leveraged specuvestors. Strong negative growth side will hold off remaining overseas money, and limit future ponzi lending from the banks.

Election 2017 is a seminal moment in the future of NZ for 18-35 year olds. Vote for protection against money not earned and taxed in the NZ domestic economy, or, vote for a life relegated to renting with no hope of ever saving enough for home ownership. This age bracket has the worst voter turnout with over 30% being no shows. Running away to Aussie or the UK is a very weak option now. Get off your lattes, Iphones and squashed Avo and actually vote.

In terms of property, you may have to simply vote for the lesser of evils.

National looks likely - from their refusal to acknowledge any housing crisis exists, and their behaviour over the last nine years - to keep pushing prices up as much as they can. Any young Kiwi Aucklander voting for National is someone voting to #RentTillYouDie.

10 tranquil glade - down 345k according to regression estimate on homes.co.nz

(unless someone typed wrong figures maybe)

Has the tide turned already ?

Yes 1 Sanctuary Point, Sunnyhills on homes.co.nz has a low value was $1,720,000 and it's high value $2,000,000. But it only sold for $1,641,000 at their recent auction.

Would have assumed that it would have sold for a lot higher than that being a 4bed, 2 bath double garage property in a nice area of Auckland. So yes prices are starting to slip.

If you read the sales pitch you get a bit of a clue:

Solid Brick and Tiles structure, and has been tested by time, whether you are a DIY enthusiast or professional builder, take your tools and realise your imagination. You will be surprised.

I think that in a bit of a slow down people who are into making money in housing start looking for do ups that they can purchase at a discount. FHB's should look out for these as you may be able to get a bargain right now.

Double Garage is not Double GZ and that's the double in differences.

The only numbers released today that matter are due this afternoon. The unwinding of credit that started 10 months ago should continue with gay abandon. Hard numbers not anecdotes or hope or denial are difficult to disguise..
