Latest results from Auckland apartment auctions: Prices started at $205,500 for an 18sqm studio with no car park

There was plenty of action at the latest Auckland apartment auctions, with all five of the apartments auctioned by City Sales selling under the hammer and four of the six auctioned by Ray White City Apartments selling under the hammer.

At the City Sales auction prices started at $205,500 for an 18 square metre studio with a balcony but no car park in the Sun building located in the student district of Wakefield St in the CBD.

At the other end of the spectrum, a 100 square metre, two bedroom unit with a tandem car park in a mid-rise block in Grey Lynn sold for $825,000.

At the Ray White City Apartments auction, prices started at $281,000 for a massive 149 square metre, four bedroom unit with two bathrooms and four car parks in the Scene One building on Beach Rd in the CBD. 

The property was rented at $1500 a week, but the apparently low price was because it was on a leasehold title and had combined outgoings of $31,004 a year (including ground rent).

It's basically a six figure bond payment as one still has to rent the property for $600 a week. I'm sure Chon Kee or Nick -redface- Smith will point to it as affordable though.

keyo, you're referring too the 149m2 apartment that went for $241k. It's actually a steal if it rents at $1500pw = $78k pa minus outgoings of $31k = net income of $47k. That's an unreal yield of 16.7%. Do your maths better

Two things, Scene one and leasehold. Good luck with the ROI until the cost of repairs and future ground rent increases turn this into a nett liability. If it remains habitable.....
