In this episode, Ed and Andrew dig into the data behind the headlines. The short answer: no, Auckland is still the most expensive place to buy. The median sale price in Auckland is still $150,000 higher than the Bay of Plenty. So what's going on?You'll learn:
- The difference between asking prices and sale prices — and why it matters
- Why the mix of properties listed can completely skew the numbers
- Which city has actually been more expensive than Auckland for most of the last 33 years
- Why this headline might really be a sign that Auckland has gotten cheap
