The NZ property world is up for an early spring this year, thanks to a massive pickup in sales and listings of Auckland property market. The real estate industry has revealed that Auckland property is soon going to witness a seller’s market.

As per reports, the fresh listings in Auckland escalated 16% last August. On top of that, the levels of portfolio and inventory in Auckland property market have witnessed a dip for the fifth consecutive month. The downgrade is, primarily, attributable to an upsurge in buyer demand.

At present, the levels of Auckland inventory are 32% under what they were at the same time a year ago. This implies manifold tenders on various properties in the most popular parts of central Auckland suburbs, said Johnny Sinclair, of Bayleys Real Estate Residential.

The Auckland property market was, reportedly, dealing with more than 15,000 buyers each month, while the number of properties sold this winter has dragged it down to 5000.

The wait, which has been enforced on buyers, is mainly attributable to the prevailing economic sentiment among buyers. Residential property in $600,000 was mainly sought after by a majority of ''war stories''. These properties had around five or six contending buyers, which pushed the value up and over $100,000.

“It was a busy part of the market and an area Bayleys had been under-represented in”, said Sinclair.
