Hanmer Springs is a hidden gem on our doorstep. We are lucky to have such a great holiday destination only 1.5 hours from Christchurch. As a town it is the perfect getaway for the family, offering great activities for the kids and plenty of great places to eat and drink for the adults. As I have discovered on numerous occasions the weather is often much better than the Garden City. The real estate market in Hanmer has been extremely active over the past twelve months with visitor numbers at all-time highs. The commercial centre of Hanmer is flying, we have seen a number of commercial developments under construction. Those that are completed have generally sold or leased prior to completion. In addition, residential housing on the market today offers extremely good value with most properties offering positive returns for those willing to buy and rent through the local holiday letting services. Throw in the easy drive to Hanmer and you have a brilliant place to buy both commercial and residential properties. With strong returns, potential for capital gains I can only see the values increasing in Hanmer. Demand for good homes particularly close into the centre of the township is not subsiding and won’t for some time. There are still some key elements required for the town to offer a full spectrum of activities with cinema being an obvious requirement, but given Hanmer has around 1000 permanent residents the town is extremely well equipped. With record immigration numbers looking likely to increase over the next few years one can Hanmer Springs appeal only increasing and along with it house prices. If you are heading to Hanmer please do drop in to say hi to Jackie and the team at Harcourts and get their take on the exciting town of Hanmer Springs. It will be well worth your while.
