Harcourts MarketWatch December 2012

MarketWatch December 2012

November has indicated strong and continued real estate activity with New Zealand’s largest real estate firm, Harcourts, reporting written sales in excess of $1 billion dollars and based on their figures the level of activity is no longer constrained to the Auckland market. The central North Island saw a 37% increase in written sales while Christchurch and the South Island are seeing 15% and 23% growth in their numbers respectively. Wellington remains stilted and is the only region whose figures have experienced a slide in written sale activity. The 2013 outlook for the country is one of an environment with continued low interest rates and housing stocks remaining tight. With limited building planned, particularly in Auckland, it will have the impact of fuelling on-going price increases so if you are pondering on what the best time to buy is, it’s now!
