Mt Albert, one of Auckland’s most sought-after inner-west suburbs, is renowned for its mix of character homes, excellent schools, and strong transport links just minutes from the city centre. The area’s diversity is equally notable — according to the 2023 Census, 33.1% of residents identify as Asian, highlighting the vibrant mix of cultures that contribute to the community’s dynamism and appeal.
The Barfoot & Thompson Mt Albert office, led by Matt Thompson, has earned a reputation for its market expertise, exceptional client service, and consistent results. Combining deep local knowledge with a collaborative team culture, the office continues to excel across property listings, sales, and community engagement.
This week, Zoe Fisher and Lucy Lu from HouGarden joined the Mt Albert team to present insights on evolving buyer activity across Auckland, particularly among multicultural communities. The discussion explored how market trends, buyer preferences, and emerging demand can shape listing strategies and marketing approaches, especially in areas with growing Asian and international interest.
The session also highlighted how HouGarden’s platform can support agents in reaching high-intent buyers through multilingual listings, targeted social media promotion, and culturally accessible tools. By combining these digital solutions with the team’s local expertise, agents are better equipped to connect with motivated buyers and deliver meaningful results for sellers.
It was inspiring to see the Mt Albert team’s alignment in combining experience, energy, and genuine client care, reinforcing why the office continues to perform strongly in Auckland’s competitive real estate market. HouGarden looks forward to continuing its collaboration, helping agents leverage insights and technology to stay ahead in a dynamic, multicultural property landscape.
