Regular turnover across the historical period supports the broader direction shown in the chart rather than relying on occasional outlier sales alone.

Medium block sizes and gradual infill mean street character can vary in Ashburton, so compare neighbouring building forms and overlay schedules before buying for long-term outlook.
