Emily apartment sells, vendor bids prompt value questions on others at auction

on Thursday 29 November 2018 in Apartments, CBD, CBD and fringe, Isthmus west, Learning Quarter, Market, Mt Eden, Neighbourhoods, Sectors, Uptown

An apartment in the Emily, just off Customs St East in downtown Auckland, was sold at Ray White City Apartments’ auction today. 3 others were passed in and the auction of another was postponed a week.

The auction opened with no bid on the first property up, in Nugent Rise, Mt Eden, followed by an auctioneer’s vendor bid putting the value at close to $10,000/m².

The one unit that was sold, in the Emily, went for just under $7400/m². The grand old building (pictured above) was converted from a warehouse to apartments 45 years ago.

At the Amora apartments hotel, at the top of Vincent St, a vacant studio had a lot of price tags put on it this month. The one offer at auction was about $10,000/m² for the internal space, excluding parking, but it was back on the market post-auction at about $11,000/m² internal.

At Nugent Rise in Mt Eden, the auctioneer’s indicator worked out at about $9250/m² internal, or about $1000/m² less if the loggia (internal balcony) is counted as internal space.

All these price variables can occur for a lot of reasons – age, condition (especially remediation & its potential cost), the price of parking, and the gap between new stock & established buildings.

In the decline of the market after the global financial crisis 7-10 years ago, the slide in prices was across the board. At the moment, reasons for price movement are less clear – the availability of finance, exit of Asian buyers and uncertainty about international politics & economics are harder reasons to put precise counts on.

Studio pushes to new price level in resale as buyers put pressure on other reserves

on Friday 16 November 2018 in Albert St, Apartments, CBD, CBD and fringe, Grey Lynn, Isthmus west, Learning Quarter, Market, Neighbourhoods, Quay Park, Sectors, Uptown, Victoria Quarter

3 of the 9 apartments auctioned at Ray White City Apartments yesterday – in 96 on Symonds, the Sapphire & Siena Terraces – were sold under the hammer.

Bidding on the studio in 96 on Symonds (pictured above) ended $31,000 above the price the owner paid at auction just 5 months ago. A number of other traders expressed surprise at the $12,056/m² price paid in June, although units smaller than the minimum that can be built these days often command higher price tags for their superior anticipated cashflow. This sale lifts the price/m² to $13,778.

Bidding on 2 units in the leasehold Landings complex beside the old Auckland railway station, and in the Manhattan on Albert St, fell about $20-30,000 short of adjusted reserves yesterday.
