Homes.co.nz weekly insights showed the median value of an Auckland apartment was continuing to grow and was at $500,000 for the Auckland region; more than half the $997,000 median value of an average stand-alone home.

This figure was up by $40,000 (8.7 per cent) from $460,000 at the same time last year.

These figures followed the release of the latest QV data which showed the overall prices around the region dropped 0.2 per cent in the three months to the end of March.
