The most resilient real estate in East Auckland

If you’ve been following the media, you’ve probably heard the same story over and over again: “The Auckland property market is bad.” And yes, it’s true that many parts of the city have felt the slowdown. But what the headlines don’t tell you is that not all property is created equal.

Some homes hold their value far better than others, and one of the most stable performers right now is the classic 3-bedroom brick & tile home zoned for Point View Primary School.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Looking at recent sales in Dannemora, East Tamaki Heights, and Northpark, the results are clear:

  • Most 3-bedroom brick & tile homes have sold very close to their CVs (Council Valuations), both on the old 2021 CVs and the updated 2024 CVs.

  • Even where differences exist, they are relatively minor, a sign of market stability.

  • Across 10 recent sales, the average percentage difference between sale price and 2024 CV is less than 1%.

This shows that while other parts of Auckland are seeing sharp discounts, Point View zone brick & tiles are essentially trading in line with their valuations.

Why This Submarket Is Different

There are a few key reasons why these homes are resilient:

  • School zoning: Point View Primary has long been a drawcard, giving homes in its catchment an extra layer of demand.

  • Construction quality: Brick & tile homes are low-maintenance and built to last, which appeals to both families and investors.

  • Consistent demand: These are practical homes that tick the boxes for a wide range of buyers.

The Takeaway

If you’re a homeowner in this pocket of East Auckland, it’s worth knowing that your property type is holding its ground — even while the broader market is being painted as “bad.”

And if you’re a buyer, this data should reassure you: purchasing a 3-bedroom brick & tile home in Point View zone is one of the more stable long-term decisions you can make in today’s market.
