Hamilton Property Update April 2024

The Team from Megan Smith & Co.

Kia ora neighbours,

We’ve got the latest data from April on the Hamilton Property Market thanks to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand.

- Median house price $740,000
- Median days to sell 46 vs a 10-year average of 39 days
- 27 weeks of inventory vs 26 weeks in April 2023

The property market in Hamilton is busy, with a plethora of houses available for purchase. It's worth noting that we've witnessed a significant 16% increase in the number of houses sold last month compared to April 2023. The most active buying groups across Waikato are owner-occupiers and first-home buyers, who are still actively searching for their new home, indicating good opportunities in the market.

If you’d like to know more about the current market, whether you’re looking at buying or selling, contact us today so we can provide you with up to date information and inform your decision making
