Figures as of
. This page is rebuilt when the daily price library is deployed.
How fresh the source is
Monthly; the newest month in the file is about two to three months behind; collected into our price library every day, each answer states its period
Limits
Residential sales recorded on the District Valuation Roll (houses, apartments and other dwellings together; no split by type of home). The publisher gives the lower quartile, median and upper quartile (an interquartile range, not a 10th-90th range) and the number of sales; prices are per home, not per m². Prices are left blank where an area had few sales, so small areas often have no monthly figure; the answer then falls back to the 3-month or 12-month window and says so, and we never publish a figure from fewer than 5 sales. The newest months are revised in later releases. Territorial-authority and region names are the publisher's (for example 'Auckland City' is a territorial authority and 'Auckland' the region).
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
