Spring has arrived, grass is growing and, to be honest, the domain looks terrific, what a great asset to have.

When you look at that presentation of the domain you are naturally impressed. So why not put some of these practices into your own home?

Here’s a trick _ walk out your gate and re-enter as a prospective buyer. Write down things that you would like to see in the way of presentation if you were a prospective buyer. If you are struggling a bit why not get a friend to do it. Someone else will see things you don’t. Labour weekend is coming up – what a great time to do these jobs. Remove all the rubbish, have a prune up on the trees and shrubs that hit you in the face when you mow the lawns. Water-blast any

Everyone has done it – you go to an open home and think, if they had only just done the gardens, mowed the lawns and stained the porch, what a difference it would have made. Nothing beats a well-mowed section, weeded garden and the house looking spic and span.

P.A.

Mark Williams moss on the concrete. Make sure the vege garden is weeded – nothing beats the look of a good row of spuds growing. If you have a vege garden, present it well. If you have outdoor furniture make sure it's tidy - give it a paint or a stain and put the umbrella up for the open home. Ok, now everything’s looking good outside, but make sure if you have a garden shed that it is all tidy as well. I class the garage as part of the exterior tidy up, make sure the tools are hanging and tidy and get rid of any clutter.

So, you are nearly there, one thing left to do – shout yourself a cold one and have a look at what a change you have made. If you can’t get someone to help you with presentation ideas, give your local real estate agent a call – they will be able to help you with some great tips. This advice is free so make sure you use it. Now that you have sorted the outside, you have to start work on the inside, but that’s a story for another day, even if the theory is the same - presentation, presentation, presentation. So enjoy your Labour weekend and sit back and reap the rewards for your hard work. Happy selling!

strong increase in auction sales for Waikato/Bay of Plenty. “The new IRD number requirements may have had some dampening effect on offshore buyers in Auckland, although this is not shown in the data. However, the forthcoming relaxation of the loanto-value-ratio (LVR) restrictions for the regions will have a positive effect for first home buyers but may add to the consequential shortage of listings in their range. The lowering of interest rates has also had a positive impact on buyer sentiment in the regions, although the effect is hard to measure in the Auckland market.”

The national median price was $484,650 for September, an increase of $64,650 or 15.4% on September 2014, to reach a new record high, and up 4.2% compared with August. Excluding the impact of the Auckland region, the national median price rose $28,000 to $365,000 compared with September 2014 also to reach a new record high, and rose 4.7% compared with August.

Sales Volumes

New record median prices were also reached in Auckland, Waikato/ Bay of Plenty and Otago.

Sales volumes excluding Auckland were up 5.3% from August and up 38.6% on September 2014. On a seasonally adjusted basis, Auckland’s sales volumes were down 0.8% compared with August, indicating that sales volumes were marginally weaker in Auckland than normally expected for this time of year. Compared with September 2014 both Northland and Waikato/ Bay of Plenty have recorded very strong sales volume growth, with Northland’s ‘share’ of sales rising by over 11% and Waikato/Bay of Plenty’s ‘share’ rising by over 20%.

Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) Chief Executive Colleen Milne says, “There is continued evidence of Auckland investors and first home buyers spreading to other regions causing a ‘halo’ effect, most notably in Northland and Waikato/Bay of Plenty. These regions have recorded very strong sales growth so far during 2015, and this is now starting to be seen in the median price data. There was also a very

There were 8174 unconditional residential sales in September, a 38.3% increase on September 2014 and an increase of 5.3% on August. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the number of sales rose 1.0% from August to September, indicating September sales were marginally stronger than what would normally be expected at this time of year.

Ten regions recorded increased sales volumes compared with August, with Central Otago Lakes volumes growing 22%, followed by Otago with 9% and Waikato/Bay of Plenty also with 9%. Compared with September 2014, all regions recorded increases in sales volume, with Waikato/Bay of Plenty recording the largest increase of 85%, followed by Northland with 69% and Central Otago Lakes with 44%.

Prices The national median house price rose $19,650 (+4.2%) to $484,650 from August to September to reach a new record high. In comparison with September 2014 the national median house price increased by $64,650 (+15.4%), with all, but one, region recording increases. Excluding the Auckland region, the national median price rose $28,000 (+8.3%) compared to September 2014 to also reach a new record high. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the national median house price rose 3.5% indicating that prices rose faster in September than what would normally be expected at this time of year. Auckland, Waikato/Bay of Plenty and Otago all reached new record median prices in September. Northland recorded the largest percentage increase in median price compared with September 2014, at 26%, followed by Auckland at 25% and Waikato/Bay of Plenty at 17%. Manawatu/Wanganui recorded the largest percentage increase in median price compared with August 2015, increasing by 12%, followed by Waikato/Bay of Plenty with 11% and Taranaki with 7%.

Auctions There were 2311 dwellings sold by auction nationally, representing 28.3% of all sales and an increase of 1239 (+116%) on the number for September 2014. The number of auction sales in September is a new record for both the total number of auction sales and the percentage of sales. The 19,458 sales by auction in the 12 months to September 2015 represented 22% of all dwelling sales, compared to 19% (13,812 sales) for the year ending September 2014. Auction sales in Auckland reached a new milestone with the number of auctions representing a majority of sales for the first time. Auction sales in Waikato/Bay of Plenty also set a new record, representing more than one quarter of all sales for the first time. Transactions in Auckland again dominated the auction market in September, representing 69% of the national total of auction sales. 51% of all dwelling sales in Auckland were by auction, compared to 33% in September 2014. Sales by auction in Waikato/Bay Of Plenty accounted for 18% of the national total; Canterbury/Westland accounted for 8%; and all other regions combined accounted for the remaining 5%.

For sensitive individuals, knowing what plants are the major offenders helps you make planting choices least likely to increase your allergic reactions. Most flowers require pollen vectors for fertilisation. A pollen vector is a living thing, like a bee, that helps transfer pollen from one plant to another. Moths and bats are important vectors for nightblooming plants. Birds and even flies can be important vectors. About 90 per cent of all plant species pollinate this way. It’s the other 10 per cent that create the biggest problems. This group achieves pollination in a much different way. Its members rely on wind to carry their pollen grains far and wide. Through this process, the entire area around the plant becomes blanketed with pollen. Pine trees are a major windpollinated genus. They are coniferous trees that bear their seeds in cones, like fir and spruce. Pollen spikes are produced at the top of the tree, with immature female cones located lower. When the wind blows, the spikes wave, releasing pollen into a big cloud designed to settle on cones lower down. In areas of pine forest, it’s not uncommon to see cars dusted with bright yellow pollen when the trees are in full fertilisation mode. On a windy day, it’s everywhere. More-evolved trees, such as birch, maples and oaks, are also wind-pollinated, but in a very different way. These trees produce catkins, which are long, dangling reproductive structures. They are produced in early spring before the trees leaf out so that pollen can filter down into the female flowers on the same tree, or the nearest female tree if they are separate.

Australia’s native wattle is notorious for causing sneezes and wheezes in those prone to hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis. For more help on planning a pollen-free zone around your house, Allergy-Free Gardening by Thomas Leo Ogren has details on wind-pollinated trees, grasses and problem species such as ragweed.

Stay indoors until after midday. Avoid going out on windy days or after thunderstorms. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Do not mow the grass or stay inside when it is being mown. If mowing is unavoidable, wear a mask.

»» »»

»»

Consider planting a low-allergen garden. Keep windows closed at home and when in your car (and where possible use re-circulating airconditioning in your car). Do not picnic in parks or in the country during the pollen season.

»»

Try to plan your holidays out of the pollen season. »» If you are sensitive to particular weeds or trees outside your window, have them removed. »» Shower when you get home and bathe your eyes frequently. »» Carry a supply of tissues. Source: Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy
