To fix or float is once again front of mind, this morning's analysis from Bernard Hickey makes interesting reading - http://www.interest.co.nz/. The good news is that rates generally are at their lowest levels since the mid 60's, making home ownership a possibility for many.

If you’re selling your home, or thinking of it – we would love to demonstrate the added value we bring to the process. It’s all about presentation. The cliché – “you only get one chance at a first impression” is so true. We’ve invested heavily in making your home look amazing with our own in-house photography and design studio, based at 2 Dilworth Ave. If you’ve got some time, I’d love to demonstrate the difference.

Great weather has to be the ultimate feel good!  It’s been interesting to read, certain homes are selling significantly above C.V.  Please note this is not a general trend.  Yes, the market has improved.  If you’re thinking of selling, you need to have your property appraised.  Buyers are very selective.  Phone me – I’d be happy to give you a no obligation assessment of your home’s current likely selling range.

The “late summer” may be one of the reasons for the excellent range of stock we currently have for sale.  The late autumn sun is out and so are the buyers, with strong open home attendances, in some cases producing quick sales.

School holidays for us this year are proving to be anything but. It’s busy! Under the subject of -“don’t always believe what your read” – yes, the market is positive and better than it has been for some years. It is also however highly selective. There is strong demand for family homes in certain locations. Properties with perceived problems and /or ‘over priced’ properties are languishing.
