The Ray White Group has continued to achieve a high level of sales for the month of August 2013. The sales released were 9% ahead of the same time last year; however they reduced by 8% on last month’s sales. The total number of properties settled through our member network for August was 1,137.
Carey Smith, NZ Chief Executive of Ray White, said that “The continuing low interest rates is providing confidence in the market. The slight increase in stock levels will allow purchasers more choice and coming into the spring period, the availability of property for sale is expected to lift.”
The Ray White Group listed a total of 2,181 properties which lifted from last month by 7%. The total properties available through the company increased very slightly by 1% to 8,566. The total number of auctions completed was 418, which continue to have the highest success rate of any method of sale offered by the group.

Ray White City Apartments completed 97 sales at number two. Ray White Ponsonby again had a successful month, with $27 million in total value of sales.
