How recent is this rental evidence?

Can this tell me what to ask for my property in Queenstown-Lakes District?
The NZ$800 median describes this all bedroom counts bond sample; it is not a rental appraisal. Current asking rents, a property's condition and its precise location can differ from the sample. National data coverage does not mean New Zealand Realty offers property services in every location. Contact the team to discuss service availability. Monthly and annual rent changes are withheld while source comparability is under review.

Behind the numbers
What the median tells you
The median is the middle rent in the source sample. Half of the sampled rents are at or below it and half are at or above it. It describes the homes in that sample; it is not a valuation of an individual property.
Bonded and advertised rents are different
These rents come from newly lodged rental bonds. They are not current asking rents, the rent of every existing tenancy, or evidence that a property advertised elsewhere has been let.
