As a generalization though it seems likely the quiet sales of sections in residential subdivisions will remain the case well into 2012. The brand builders are focusing on support for their Canterbury and Auckland operations so most current speculative activity seems centred on smaller local builders constructing tasteful family homes in new subdivisions.

Across the country First National has noticed another trend continuing… the quiet lift in sales of sections in some, and a growing number of, holiday locations. Buyers seem to be from the larger cities and have decided now is a good time for them to secure a location for a future holiday home. Again, the […]

Another good piece of advice I heard the other day was from a vendor who called in his most honest mate and also a workmate he trusted, to review his home before he put it on the market. Seeking to remove negatives in presentation this ploy worked a treat and issues that were raised had […]

We’re seeing many vendors taking a proactive position when preparing to sell their home and arranging for a LIM report to be available for enquirers and even going to the extent of having a Building Report produced on the home.

You’ve no doubt read of the almost nationwide pressure on good quality rental homes.
