February 2010

These details are drawn from the Real Estate Institute monthly reports for January 2010, and focus only on farm sales - excluding lifestyle blocks.

The market recorded only 46 sales, which is one third of the average for a January over the past few years, and -37% below the same month a year ago. The median price was unchanged at $1,000,000.

January sales included:
    0 arable farm
    7 dairy farms
    5 finishing units
  18 grazing properties
    8 horticultural, and
    8 farms of other types

The number of sales is presented here, without the average price, because average prices bounce around dramatically depending on the size and type of business unit being sold.
