QV homevalue Hawkes Bay Registered Valuer Bevan Pickett said the market is continuing to display the strength of the last few months.
"Tenders and auctions have become the preferred method of sale as vendors don't want to put a cap of possible sales prices and with multiple offers are now the norm and sale prices are commonly eclipsing vendor and agent expectations," Mr Pickett said.
