The upshot

2 Lewis Street sold below its 2023 rating valuation, while 22 Lewis Street asks a premium for its size and location. Buyers targeting the lower end of the market are seeing value, but large-family buyers face a slim pool of listings.

The pattern across these two properties: section size is the biggest price driver.

Address Bedrooms Section size Price Listing agency
2 Lewis Street 2 515 m² $505,000 (sold 2023) Ray White Blenheim
22 Lewis Street 7 1,565 m² $899,000 + GST (listed) Harcourts Marlborough
12 Lewis Street Not listed Not listed $600,000 (sold 2023) Unknown

The implication: buyers pay a visible premium for land area, with the 1,565 m² section commanding nearly double the price of the 515 m² lot.

Why this matters

A first-home buyer on Lewis Street gets a manageable 2-bedroom cottage with a modest yard, while an investor can pick up a 7-bedroom asset on a massive section. The street serves two very different buyer profiles — and the price difference reflects that split.

What is the section size of properties on Lewis Street?

515 m² freehold section at 2 Lewis Street

  • Confirmed via Trade Me listing (Trade Me Property (listing))
  • Typical of older Redwoodtown subdivisions

778 m² section at 1 Lewis Street

  • 1940s weatherboard home, price on request (PropertyValue (property data aggregator))
  • Larger than average for the street

1,565 m² section at 22 Lewis Street

  • Nearly three times the size of 2 Lewis Street (realestate.co.nz (listing))
  • Offers development potential or ample outdoor space

The implication: section size on Lewis Street ranges from 515 m² to 1,565 m², making it one of the more varied blocks in Redwoodtown. Buyers willing to trade convenience for space will find the larger lots at the northern end of the street.

“The variety on Lewis Street is unusual for Redwoodtown — you’ve got the 1940s character homes next to modern family-sized blocks. Buyers come to us wanting either a manageable lock-and-leave or something they can spread out in.”

Trina Nichols, listing agent at Ray White Blenheim
