A look at the unsettled Ponsonby stats for October so far reveals just 13 sales – 4 by auction and 7 by negotiation. The bulk of sales was for 3 and 4 bedroom properties on a freehold title and only one apartment sold in the month. The lowest sale price was $250,000 for a leasehold property on Hepburn Street and the highest sale price was $1,795,000 for a 4 bedroom property on Trinity Street and with sales taking on average 45 days, the rate of sale has slowed slightly showing that the RWC really did distract buyers.
