While new listings drop in many regions across New Zealand, asking prices remain steady across much of the country.

According to Hannah Franklin of realestate.co.nz some regions in New Zealand such as Nelson and Bays stand strong in regards to new property listings last month, seeing an increase of 7%, while across much of the country new listings have slowed slightly. Asking prices have remained consistent across much of New Zealand however with some areas, such as Gisborne reaching all time high average asking prices.

A wide range of factors have affected the housing market in recent times, Kiwi attitudes towards the market, as well as recent struggles with extreme weather no doubt has impacted willingness to consider the market. Regardless, with data proving that many regions remain steady, it may be the perfect time to have a look at what your home may be worth.
