Another week flies by and we are half way through 2015, where are the days going? It’s been interesting reading the headlines in the news over the last fortnight and to feel the sudden change in economic climate that has very quickly been painted by the media. Greece’s financial woe’s, Fontera’s sliding milk powder values and now the falling confidence in Canterbury’s business sector. Well I’m afraid we have heard these negative comments before and although they are all very real ,business and our lives do move on and we continue to achieve business and personal goals. The months are cooler yet our real estate activity throughout our five offices has continued to achieve solid results. Sure, bare land subdivisions are becoming effected by an apparent glut, with spec and new builds. Yet, the general public are still upgrading, down sizing and entering the market for the first time, with values generally holding with little growth at the present time. Then consider the very competitive interest rates that are available and the high level of local employment, all looks pretty good for plenty of real estate activity throughout the balance of 2015. In fact, we have a shortage of good available homes to sell with many buyers keen to find their next home or investment. Auctions Auctions continue to produce the best results with another great week with two out of two selling. In the coming weeks we have another 10 properties to be auctioned and with a clearance rate of over 80% auctions still remains the most proactive marketing method to sell any home. Rural Lifestyle There’s still a big demand for lifestyle properties of all sizes and quality. Sellers don’t miss the opportunity to talk to one of our experience and dedicated lifestyle sales team members for the best advice and results. We have many buyers waiting for the right home. “We Sell Rural Lifestyle” our coffee table magazine is due out at the end of July so if you are selling or on the market with one of our team you need to be included, it’s an introduction to thousands of buyers throughout Canterbury.
