Pushing Up House Prices

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt currently has a residential property asking price average of $854,000.

Is this largely the result of new housing areas in the city?

Two months ago in the Wallaceville Estate a three bedroom, double garage home was sold for 1.3 million. It had a double garage but all the bedrooms were as tight as and no real storage spaces other than built in wardroves. One could construct a garden shed on the property. The garage had been used not for vehicles but as a work-from-home and cinema/tv room. The property had no appreciable views and was tucked away behind high fencing.

Yet maybe this property could now fetch another $100,000 if it was on the market.
