Today's release of house sales data by the REINZ is a good time to review the resources we have for staying on top of these trends.
You can track the REINZ median sales price here, and you can track QV's three monthly rolling average price here.
The REINZ data is displayed by region as well as nationally.
You can also track the volume of transactions by region here.
And you can track the average days-to-sell (by the final selling agent) here, also by region.
We have national splits by price bands here.
The annualised changes in prices are here, as are the changes in sales volumes vs the same month a year ago.
Until April we were able to track the REINZ/RBNZ stratified price index in the main centres, but the REINZ have put that data behind a paywall not, so we are not able to keep it up-to-date.
One other item has been in the news recently - Barfoot's market share in Auckland, and we track that here. (It was 41.5% in June.)
Here is a table of median price changes by region comparing June 2015 with June 2014. This clearly shows the separation Auckland prices have from the rest of the country. (The high ranking of Southland in this table is more to do with the unusually low June 2014 median - see the other months for this region here.)
