The Auckland property market ended the year with the strongest December sales numbers and prices on record, and with early indications that the New Year break would not dampen sales momentum.

“The market is set to make a strong return in January,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.

“In December we sold 1,479 properties at an average price of $1,092,518 and at the median value of $1,005,000.

“This is our strongest December sales ever, and the sixth straight month we have sold more than 1,000 homes in a month.

“Only once before have we sold more than 1,000 homes in a December, and that was in 2014 when the market was building towards the peak of the last price cycle."

In North Shore teenager Kirill Koninin’s bedroom is a stack of empty shoe boxes.

The 17-year-old BMX rider and skateboarder would wear through his shoes “like fire”, father Vladimir Koninin​ said, following Kirill’s death on Christmas Eve.

On December 23, Kirill fell from his bike at a skatepark in Albany, suffering a head injury. Doctors at Auckland City Hospital later told Vladimir and mother Oxana Koninina​ that their son’s brain surgery had been unsuccessful, and the heartbreaking decision was made to turn off his life support the next day.

The family are hoping to dedicate a bench to Kirill at the park, in an effort to persuade others to wear helmets.
