Today’s unchanged OCR will again consolidate growing buyer’s confidence to proceed to purchase.  Given the factors in play, both locally and internationally, it’s hard to see a significant upward shift in rates for some time.

With school holidays over, the market is back in town with many scratching the itch to sell.  It’s clear that demand this year for housing throughout the Auckland area, and particularly Central Auckland, is stronger than it has been for many years.  Our advice?  Go now.  The supply/demand ratio is in favour of the home owner – this will change as we get into the traditional Spring listing season.

Back to School

What a fantastic spell of weather we have enjoyed over the last week of the school holidays.  Speaking of which, we are pleased to confirm an increase in the number of listings to kick off the new term and a general lift in activity as holidaymakers settle back into town.

“It’s all about timing”


The media confirmed this week that the shortage of stock is driving Auckland prices up and the average time required to effect a sale down. We are seeing a number of properties which had lingered on the market sell in this current dynamic. If your previous attempt at selling was unsuccessful, it may be worth another go.
