Harcourts managing director Prue Hamill said Greytown was the highest priced area in Wairarapa.
"People pay for the village atmosphere and the convenience and the location ... "
She said Greytown was close to Wellington and attracted retirees.
"It has got lovely cafes, it's got a great community, great atmosphere down there," Ms Hamill said.
Harcourt's most expensive sale last year had been in Greytown, she said, and the company had already sold a more expensive house this year.
Ms Hamill said Masterton was the hub of Wairarapa with a wide range of houses, so the cheaper property prices were to be expected.
Confidence in the property market was increasing and there had been good interest from out of the area including from Wellington and Auckland, she said.
