Understanding Market Reports
Make Informed Decisions with Clear Property Data
Before you sell, buy, or invest, it’s essential to understand what the numbers in a property market report actually mean.
Ray White Silverdale provides detailed local market reports so you can make confident, data-driven decisions in the Hibiscus Coast real estate market.
Why Market Reports Matter
A market report is more than just a list of recent sales. It gives you a snapshot of how the property market is performing and where it’s heading. Reading it correctly can help you:
- Choose the best time to list your home
- Set a competitive yet realistic asking price
- Understand buyer demand and likely days on market
- Identify opportunities for investment growth
Key Metrics Explained
Median Sale Price
The middle point of all sale prices over a set period. This is a more accurate reflection of the market than a simple average, which can be skewed by a few very high or low sales.
Days on Market
The average number of days properties stay on the market before selling. A shorter timeframe indicates stronger buyer demand.
Sale-to-List Price Ratio
Shows how close final sale prices are to the original asking prices. A high ratio suggests competitive offers and a robust market.
Volume of Sales
The total number of properties sold in a period. Increasing volumes often signal growing buyer confidence.
Price per Square Metre
Helpful when comparing similar homes in Silverdale, Millwater, Milldale, Orewa, or Red Beach.
Reading the Trends
Look beyond a single month.
- Compare quarterly and annual figures to spot true trends.
- Watch for seasonal changes; spring and early summer often show more listings and higher activity.
- Consider external factors like interest rate shifts and new housing developments.
