"Psa has been dealt with in some form or another and people are paying top prices for very good properties."
Mr Peacocke said on a per canopy hectare basis prices had gone from about $170,000 to $300,000 for green kiwifruit, while the gold kiwifruit orchards could fetch up to $400,000 per canopy hectare.
Te Puke kiwifruit grower Rob Thode said interest in buying orchards had picked up this year: "Because we tend to be slowly winning against Psa there seems to be a lot more confidence in the industry."
New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Inc president Neil Trebilco said orchards were now selling for pre-Psa prices and even higher.
"There's a huge amount of confidence in the industry and that is because growers can see their way through Psa," he said.
"Growers are not only confident, I'd also say that they are excited about the future."
PGG Wrightson rural and lifestyle real estate agent Stan Robb said a huge chunk of the recent horticultural sales were kiwifruit orchards.
"Orchard sales have quadrupled in the last year. The majority of that has happened in the last three months. The price has doubled which is the big thing," he said. "They are on a par with pre-Psa."
While success in managing the kiwifruit vine killing disease had boosted confidence, buyers were being more cautious now often bringing in consultants, Mr Robb said.
"The outlook certainly looks very good for the next two to three years."
Bayleys Tauranga country manager Simon Anderson agreed orchards were selling for pre-Psa prices now confidence had returned. He said the demand was mainly coming from those already in the industry looking to expand.
He had also noticed a recent increase in activity among other farms well above what he had seen in the past few years.
