Harcourts May Statistics
Latest Statistics show the median sale price for Marlborough now sits at $650,000.00 compared with the same time last year when it was $490,0000, so we have had a steep journey increase with house prices over the past 12 months. We have seen a lift in the number of listings coming to market over the past month which is interesting as typically at this time of year we see a slow down.
The number of days to sell, now sitting at 34 up 5 days from last month but it is still sitting close to the national average of 30 days. We have also recorded a change in numbers attending open homes, February the average was 7.9 groups through an open home with the May average recording 3.5 groups through.
What does all of this say about the market?. Indications show we are moving to a “ balanced market “ which is equal number of buyers and properties.
Not a bad market to be in at all. The key to a successful sale is presenting your home at its best and working with an agent and company that cares about the best possible outcome for you given your particular circumstances.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
