Property market

Carol Christy from

July was certainly rainy but the wet weather did not deter buyers who snapped up some fantastic homes that reached the desired goals for our vendors. We are only a month away until spring and looking forward to dryer weather but spring in the property market is likely to be late due to the impending election. It is a Kiwi phenomenon that in the months before an election, many industries slow down and take a wait and see approach to what the next three years will bring.

Once the election is done and dusted, the property market will back in full bloom, so if you are looking to make a move or get your property goals sorted before the end of 2017, talk to me now about how we can create a tailored marketing approach for your property.

Get a leap on the popular end of year market by ensuring your home is ready and presentable for sale when the nation is back to business as usual.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
