RURAL INTEREST, LIFESTYLES AND REACTION TO TRAGEDIES
With wool, meat, grains and dairy products returning better profits to the farm gate this year there remains stronger interest in rural purchases as Autumn begins. Not large numbers of buyers but those who are serious are carefully researching the property they are interested in, preparing a strong case and making a business-based offer…and are prepared to walk if there’s no quick meeting of the minds.
Not far away from the rural regions we’re also seeing increased interest in lifestyle property following a year or two of quiet times in that sector. We expect this to increase as / when immigrant pressure returns to the market.
City and town dwellers are commenting that after several tough years, the tragedies of Queensland floods, Christchurch and now Japan, they have reviewed plans and are taking the stance that “…life must be lived, so we’re doing now what we’ve been putting off.”
