Dear K Yang
Request for information 2021-185
I refer to your request for information dated 12 July 2021, which was received by Greater Wellington
Regional Council (Greater Wellington) on 12 July 2021. You have requested the fol owing:
“Could you please provide me with the fol owing property price if possible? It is needed for
conducting a study about housing price and property supply in New Zealand. Your help wil be
mentioned in the acknowledgement section if the research is published in a journal.
The property price needed is:
Average sale price of all residential houses in a territorial authority in a given year in Wel ington
There are 9 territorial authorities in Wel ington. Please provide the average sale price in each
territorial authority.
In terms of the length of the data, is it possible to get the annual data from 2000 to 2021? For
the data in 2021, please include the most recent transactions when calculating the price.”

Region (Wellington City Council, Porirua City Council, Kāpiti Coast District Council, Hutt City Council,
Upper Hutt City Council, South Wairarapa District Council, Carterton District Council and Masterton
