House prices in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland continue to lag behind many other parts of the country

Cotality has released its latest data which shows a 0.1 percent lift in values for New Zealand in November with Hamilton, Tauranga and Christchurch seeing growth 

But Auckland has not, in fact November was the eighth month in a row that Auckland's property values had declined
