10 properties sold under the hammer out of 16 on offer on Wednesday at Bayleys’ third Auckland Total Property auction of the year.
The auction attracted a mix of investors, not dominated by the hard-nosed investment atmosphere that’s permeated many of these auctions in the past.
Yields were softer – none slipping under the 5% barrier, which was a frequent occurrence 2-3 years ago.
