The Premium End Holds Its Ground

Canterbury remains the most premium market in this update, with a median house price of $3,165,000, easing a modest 2.3 per cent despite genuine economic uncertainty weighing on buyer sentiment. The apartment market has held up even better, unit prices up 1.3 per cent to $950,000.

Days on market for houses have stretched to 57, up 26.7 per cent, a sign that even well-qualified buyers at this level are taking their time and weighing their options carefully. Clearance for units has strengthened though, up 6.2 per cent to 82.6 per cent, a genuinely encouraging signal.

With downsizers the dominant buyer type and family homes continuing to draw strong interest, sellers who present well and price to current conditions, rather than the market of a year ago, are the ones converting cautious buyer interest into a result in Canterbury right now.
