Yes, that means they made $335,000 from the property going up in value. They sold the property for 49% more than they bought it for.
That works out to be 9.1% per year.
Over the same period, the average value of properties in Welcome Bay increased by 52.8%.
So this property increased at roughly the same rate as the rest of the market.
#2 – A New Build that did much worse than the rest of the market
But, here’s a New Build that did worse than the market.
One investor purchased Unit 612 in the SugarTree Altro, Auckland.
It was a 1 bed, 1 bath apartment with a car park.
According to Property Guru – a piece of software built by Core Logic – the investor bought it for $641,500. That was back in July 2015.
