May 2010

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

The market recorded only 103 sales, which is one half of the average for a April over the past few years, and -5% below the same month a year ago, and is only 56% of the average April level for the past 5 years. The median price was up to $1,000,000.

April sales included:
    2 arable farm
  12 dairy farms
  11 finishing units
  49 grazing properties
  17 horticultural, and
  12 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.
