Data released by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) shows a 56.4% rise in the number of farm sales for the three month-period ending November 2020.
Overall, there were 441 farm sales in those three months, compared to 282 farm sales for the same period in 2019.
1,412 farms were sold in the year to November 2020, 9.0% more than were sold in the year to November 2019.

Otago recorded the most significant decline in sales with Wellington and Gisborne also recording fewer farm sales than 2019.
“Sales data for the three-month period ending November 2020 confirms again that in terms of numbers, finishing properties are clearly the dominant category,” said Brian Peacocke, REINZ rural spokesman.
“The increase in sales volumes throughout the rural sector would indicate the banking sector is beginning to emerge from the deep freeze.”
Finishing farms accounted for the largest number of sales with a 34% share of all sales over the three months to November 2020.
Grazing farms accounted for 26%, Dairy accounted for 10%, and Horticulture accounted for 13% of all sales.
