Trade Me Property head Nigel Jeffries said the Wellington market was showing no signs of slowing down.
"In September 2016, the average asking price was $479,650, which means property prices in the capital have increased almost $115,000 in 24 months," he said.
"If this rate of growth continues, the Wellington property market could be discussed in similar terms to Auckland - though we're some way away from seeing the massive numbers we've seen in our largest city."
Waikato also reached a record average asking price in September, climbing 4.7 percent on last year to $553,650.
Nationwide, data from Trade Me shows a 2.3 percent property price rise in September, the first monthly rise since May, to an average asking price of $645,250.
