Percentage of Properties Owned Since Year 'X'

The charts show for each year the percentage of purchased properties that are still owned by the purchaser. The percentage of properties bought before 1980 that are still owned by the purchaser is in Auckland 15.65% and in New Zealand 14.29%.

The figures cover the most recent ‘market sale’ records (excluding paper transactions such as inherited transfers) for properties across the country (national, district, and suburb) – grouping any property without a sale since 1980 into the pre-1980 bucket. Ultimately the distinction between market level or non-market transfers makes little difference to the overall conclusions.
