It’s easy to get confused by the property market headlines at the moment. We’re hearing about a general slowdown, with average Auckland values dropping by 2.5% in the last quarter.
But as we always say, real estate is local. And here in Glen Eden, the story is one of stability and confidence.
While other parts of the city have seen prices dip, the Glen Eden market is holding strong. In fact, over the last 12 months, the median sale price has actually seen a 2.4% increase, sitting at a solid $840,000.
What the numbers tell us
It’s very much a balanced market right now, which is good news for both buyers and sellers. There is a healthy amount of property for sale, which gives buyers more choice and time to make the right decision.
Here’s a snapshot of the Glen Eden market:
- Steady Pricing: The median asking price is sitting around $750,000.
- Time on Market: It is taking a bit longer to sell a home. The median number of days a property is on the market in Glen Eden is 48 days.
What this means for you
For buyers, this is a great opportunity. There’s a good selection of homes to view, and with less urgency in the market, you have time to find the one that’s right for you. Recent sales in the area for three-bedroom homes have ranged from $830,000 to $950,000, showing there is still strong demand for good properties.
For sellers, it means that presentation and pricing are key. The current “days on market” shows that buyers are doing their homework. Getting your marketing and sales strategy right from day one is the best way to get a great result.
A community that keeps growing
Of course, the value of Glen Eden isn’t just in the stats; it’s in the community. It’s a brilliant place to live, with the Waitākere Ranges on our doorstep.
It’s great to see local initiatives still going strong, like the upcoming Community Weed Bin Weekend in November, helping everyone get their gardens ready for summer while protecting our local bush. It’s small things like this that make this part of West Auckland so special.
