\nInterest.co.nz monitored the auctions of 16,613 properties in 2025 with 39% selling under the hammer\n<\/p>\n

Things were a lot quieter at the latest auctions as the market winds down for the Christmas break.<\/p>\n

Interest.co.nz monitored the auctions of 326 residential properties around the country over the week of 13-19 December, well down from 517 the previous week.<\/p>\n

Sales were also weaker with 117 of the properties on offer selling under the hammer, giving an overall sales rate of 36% for the week.<\/p>\n

That was the lowest auction sales rate recorded by interest.co.nz since mid-June.<\/p>\n

Prices were also weaker, with exactly 50% of the properties that sold achieving prices equal to or better than their corresponding rating valuation, down from 62% the previous week.<\/p>\n

That was the weakest price to valuation ratio at the auctions monitored by interest.co.nz since late July.<\/p>\n

Although auction activity is finishing the year on a soft note, over the course of this year the sales rate has perked up compared to 2024.<\/p>\n

Annual figures<\/p>\n

Over the course of 2025 interest.co.nz monitored the auctions of 16,613 residential properties, down slightly from 16,897 in 2024.<\/p>\n

However, the number of properties that sold under the hammer increased from 5938 in 2024 to 6550 in 2025.<\/p>\n

That pushed the annual sales rate up to 39% in 2025 from 35% in 2024, almost back to the 40% sales rate achieved in 2023.<\/p>\n

As always the latest district results are displayed in the table below.<\/p>\n

This is our last auction report for 2025 and they will recommence as auction activity starts to pick up again next year, probably in early February.<\/p>\n

We wish all of our regular auction readers a safe and enjoyable Christmas break.<\/p>\n
