Auckland's largest real estate agency, Barfoot & Thompson, marketed 172 residential properties for auction last week (to February 17) and sold 66 of them (38%) either under the hammer or by 5pm the following day.

That left 106 properties (62%) that remained unsold by 5pm the day after the auctions, although that included a very small number that were either withdrawn from sale or had their auction date postponed.

Most of those that were passed in were then marketed for sale by negotiation.

Properties in south Auckland remain the most difficult to sell. At the Pukekohe auction, nine properties were marketed for auction but only one was sold by 5pm the following day.

At Barfoot's North Shore auction 16 of the 40 properties (40%) were sold by 5pm the day after the auction.

See the chart below for the summary of results.

The prices achieved on individual properties that sold and details of those properties that didn't sell are available on our Auction/Sales Results page, along with the results of auctions conducted by Harcourts, Bayleys, Ray White City Apartments and City Sales.
