Traditionally this time of year is busy, but media reports have been telling us the market was quietening. This may be true for the larger markets such as Auckland and Christchurch but for us this is not exactly the case.
We are now seeing a number of comments in the media that the regions are now seeing price increases due to demand not seen for a couple of years. We can see this in our figures, prices are rising and activity is strong and we believe this is twofold, one because of the value for money offered in our region, within a short commute to Christchurch (and possibly prices in the city having reached a ceiling for the medium term) and two because of positive net migration. Why? Because people coming to NZ can see the regions as being true New Zealand and one of the reasons they left their homelands was to get away from the large cities, the hustle and bustle and experience living in tight knit communities such as ours. If you are thinking of selling be confident that the market is strong in North Canterbury especially in our award winning offices! Leave a Reply. |
