Are these for listing price or sales price? Average sales price is always quite bit lower than listing price.

By US state, Hawaii's average sales price is $740k (listing = $980k). DC's average listing price is $703k (sales = $538k).[0] If sales price, Auckland seems to be about $100k USD over Santa Cruz County, CA.

quite the reverse actually. most houses in akl sell by auction and not a quoted price (gotta let the market decide). the numbers you see referenced are almost certainly the average of actual selling prices.
