Welcome to this week’s property update. Plenty on the go this week, with two new listings coming online, some interesting new appraisals and early offers coming in on a few properties! 

Thanks for the feedback on recent posts and articles that I have posted. I will keep searching for new material to share as quite a few of you seem to enjoy reading them.

I have an interview coming up with Simon Douglas from Contour Joinery in the coming weeks too.  No auctions this week as there are a couple set for next week. Duncan Good, our Auctioneer and Partner of Ray White Wanaka, is off to Auckland to call an auction for the ‘The Block’ TV show on Sunday night so tune in to see him in action. 

We have a few new listings this week and an interesting new sales statistic to share with you. 

First up is a tidy and titled section with very nice views at 17 Kotare Drive in Kirimoko. The neighbouring four bedroom home just sold for $1.45M so this is good buying for the land at $525,000. 

Next is a land and build package at Lot 86 The Heights, a brand new three bedroom Landmark Homes build on over 500sqm for $890,000. This would be an ideal rental property, super close to all the schools and a short walk to town. 

The next is titled as … ‘Sophistication and Privacy’. This is a new listing of mine at 5 Reserve Lane and is well worth checking out. The vendor has made some really clever choices on the build quality of this home – if you wanted to downsize with style or are looking for a holiday home which is low maintenance and high specced then do check out the video online. 

A recent sale at 43 Tenby Street has set the tone for demand sale of centrally based homes which are close to town. We received an early offer which brought the deadline forward, two offers were then presented. There was, and remains, considerable interest in homes in the inner township area as buyers looking to down size to low maintenance, single level homes and want to be able to walk into town with ease. Watch this space as we might well see another listing coming in this sought after area. I have a busy weekend ahead with open homes tomorrow starting from…

• 11am – 570 Aubrey Road
• 12pm – 5 Reseve Lane
• 1pm – 6 Stackbrae Avenue
• 1.30pm – 9 Stackbrae Avenue
• 2 pm – 8/23 Tenby Street

 Then a mad rush back to catch the All Blacks afternoon match versus Tonga with the kids and some friends! If any of the above properties are of interest, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help out with further intel. My wife has roped me into a local school fund raising event with a dress up theme for Saturday night…. skiing on Sunday with the kids could be a late start! Have a great weekend.
