Gil Beadle, marketing manager for Eves and Bayleys, said price rises in today's market would be misleading.

"You might be seeing more sales in the $350,000 range or just above, but overall the market is softer - even in the upper end," he said.

"It's just a shift in balance. There is a reasonable selection of property to choose from but generally buyers are being very cautious before making a decision.
