Following quiet growth in buyer activity in the latter part of 2009 the New Year has started with strong indications that buyers across the country and across all market sectors are “cherry picking” the best presented and competitively priced homes.

We are seeing similar trends, with our buyers conducting very thorough research before committing to purchase and then focusing on those homes in their chosen area and size bracket that are best presented…tidy, updated and with no repairs required.

This once again shows that prior to listing it’s always a good idea to spend time, effort and sometimes a little money on making sure your home is going to stand out from the others in its bracket.

First National works with Jennifer Manson, a Christchurch-based home staging expert, who advises on how best to present homes for sale and frankly that is often not the way we each live in the home!

And for advice on the last part of the equation and the one area most of us struggle with, talk with me about where your homes sits price wise alongside its competitors. Call now for an obligation free chat.
