Harcourts May Statistics
Latest Statistics show the median sale price for Marlborough now sits at $650,000.00 compared with the same time last year when it was $490,0000, so we have had a steep journey increase with house prices over the past 12 months. We have seen a lift in the number of listings coming to market over the past month which is interesting as typically at this time of year we see a slow down.
The number of days to sell, now sitting at 34 up 5 days from last month but it is still sitting close to the national average of 30 days. We have also recorded a change in numbers attending open homes, February the average was 7.9 groups through an open home with the May average recording 3.5 groups through.
What does all of this say about the market?. Indications show we are moving to a “ balanced market “ which is equal number of buyers and properties.
Not a bad market to be in at all. The key to a successful sale is presenting your home at its best and working with an agent and company that cares about the best possible outcome for you given your particular circumstances.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
