NZ lifestyle properties continue to buck the trend
Wednesday 24 November 2004

The latest rural sales figures showed while rural sales continued at a very low level consistent with this time of the year, lifestyle block sales were up and so were prices.The national median selling price for farms for October was $865,00 compared with the September figure of $750,000 and the 2003 figure of $610,000.
However due to low volumes and higher turnover of more expensive dairy properties, the REINZ cautioned that not too much should be read into these figures.
