The majority were moving to the city rather than buying investment properties.
"It's good news for the township and it's good news for Aucklanders to be able to ... buy some affordable property in a beautiful city and still have some cash in the bank."
Mr Kubiak said there was more buyer activity across the board.
"It's not just Aucklanders that are contributing to that. It's just the general state of the market."
Trade Me Property data shows every region around the country has experienced an increase in Aucklanders viewing their listings in the past year.
Head of Trade Me Property Nigel Jeffries said the "Auckland effect" wasn't an entirely new phenomenon but it had rapidly accelerated in the past year.
"Aucklanders have looked further afield for years, whether they're looking for an investment, a holiday house or for a change of lifestyle. However we've seen a real ramp-up in that interest this year.
"The Auckland property market has become so crazy that for some buyers, the option that makes the most sense is to buy outside their region."
He was surprised how far away Aucklanders had been hunting for properties.
This year Aucklanders made up 13 per cent of searches for Marlborough properties, 16 per cent in Otago, 12 per cent in Wairarapa and 10 per cent for the West Coast.
"It shows property buyers in the City of Sails are considering all their options."
The growth had been even stronger in the regions surrounding Auckland with Aucklanders making 29 per cent of all searches for Bay of Plenty property, 44 per cent of Northland searches, and 32 per cent of Waikato searches.
Mr Jeffries said the increased interest in nearby regions was affecting asking prices.
