Residential Property Values Grow 12.4%

QV’s May property statistics released today indicate that nationally, residential property values increased by 12.4% over the past twelve months. This is down from the 13.1% reported in April. The average New Zealand sale price was $327,779. “The current market trend is showing a flattening of property values; it is the fourth consecutive month that a decrease in growth has been reported. Growth is back at the levels reported in May 2005. The most recent market activity suggests there is no longer the urgent pressure on buyers and prices are stabilising. This trend is expected to continue throughout the winter months” said QV spokesperson Blue Hancock.
