Real estate agents are revelling after a massive March for property sales.
Just over 8800 dwellings were sold last month - up 20% on the same time last year.
It's the biggest March since 2007, before the global financial crisis.
Auckland values are still running away, with the median price up $83,000 on March last year to $720,000.
Spokeswoman Colleen Milne says with a median price of $350,000, there is plenty of activity in the regions.
She says first home buyers are strong in regional markets, as well as investors looking outside of Auckland.
