As the market moves through a distinctly different phase than the last couple of years, it's ever more important to ensure we're using the right data and statistics to evaluate what's going on.

In the last week there have been a couple of examples of why that is. The first was a stuff article headlining the drop in median sales price in Auckland of 19%. 

The second was the mortgage lending data for February, from the RBNZ. As with anything, the insights derived from the data are dependent on interpretation or perspective.

The recently released interactive mapping the market site provides a great example of how to report on property value change in a much more consistent and robust way.
