๐Ÿš€ Auckland Property Market Ends Year On High Note and Promises More in 2021

Gabrielle Elborough from

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.

โ€œThe market is set to make a strong return in January,โ€ said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.

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

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

โ€œOnly 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."

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, thereโ€™s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need ๐Ÿช™๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿช™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
