 Multi-offers and auctions return - a return to a more "Normal" Market

Multi-offers are now becoming the norm and there are more properties being sold by auction again as the worm slowly turns. This is assisted by a more pragmatic application of the CCCFA and aligns with the main bank lenders getting their books into a more balanced position coupled with more availability of low deposit lending (under 20% lending) and more access to Kainga Ora First Home Loans with as little as 5% deposit.

What downturn? Market Heating up again

In the last quarter, values are up as follows; Auckland 1.3% (North Shore-Onewa was up 2.5%), Wellington 3%, Christchurch 1.7%, Dunedin 8.6%, Invercargill 9.3%, Gisborne 6.7%, Rotorua 4.5%.

Auckland increasing is seen as a significant change - and with low listings, strong employment, and easier lending conditions, the suggestion from numerous observers is that it's going to continue.
