\nHouse prices down, sales numbers down as housing market contracts in June – REINZ\n<\/p>\n

The housing market is feeling the effects of a cold, wet winter, rising mortgage rates and economic uncertainties with sales numbers and prices both taking a slide in June.<\/p>\n

According to the Real Estate Institute of NZ (REINZ), 5996 residential properties were sold by its members in June, down 11.0% compared to May and -2.9% compared to June last year.<\/p>\n

In Auckland, the country’s largest real estate market, residential sales were -13.3% compared to May and -5.6% compared to June last year.<\/p>\n

In the rest of the country excluding Auckland, sales were -10.0% compared to May and -1.7% compared to June last year.<\/p>\n

Prices were also weaker, with the REINZ House Price Index (HPI), which is widely regarded as the most accurate indicator of house price movements, declining by 0.9% in June compared to May, -2.4% over the three months to June and -0.8% compared to June last year.<\/p>\n

Of the REINZ’s 12 sales districts, the HPI declined in eight districts in June compared to May and increased in four – the table below shows the HPI movements in all districts.<\/p>\n

The national median selling price was $770,000 in June, down by 1.3% compared to May but up by 0.7% compared to June last year.<\/p>\n

The REINZ’s June report attributed the annual increase in the median price to “continued strength in some of the country’s higher value and better performing regions.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The New Zealand housing market has become a series of local markets moving at different speeds,” REINZ Chief Executive Lizzy Ryley said.<\/p>\n

“Buyers and sellers in one part of the country are having a very different experience from those in another, making the local knowledge of trusted real estate professionals more important than ever,” she said.<\/p>\n
