How we worked this out
| Council valuation, May 2024 | $590,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Auckland since the council valuation | −4.8% |
| Apartments and houses in Auckland | +0.1% |
| How Orewa sells against council values | +0.9% |
| Homes of this age in Orewa | −0.7% |
| Homes in this price range | +0.5% |
| Land as a share of the value | −0.6% |
| Nearby recent sales (15) | −2.6% |
| Its own sale in 2024 | −5.8% |
| Our estimate | $516,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
