– Property Institute of New Zealand
A couple of years ago I was looking at buying a house in Wellington and chanced upon a listing for a lifestyle property which appeared to be perfect. The property was semi-rural but still only 15 minutes out of the Wellington CBD, came with a sizeable piece of land, a large pool, a large reasonably modern home which, although a bit dated, appeared to have huge potential, and was close to transport links including the yet-to-be-completed Transmission Gully. Best of all – the price (which was listed) was well under what we might have expected to have paid for an equivalent property. Despite the fact that it had been on the market for a long time (a sure sign that something wasn’t ‘right’) I decided to arrange a viewing – at which time we very quickly discovered why the house hadn’t sold. Despite being in a rural area, the road running past it was a high speed highway and if the constant and overwhelming road noise didn’t do you in – the ever-present risk to life and limb from high speed traffic every time you tried to leave the property, would have. Suffice to say – I didn’t buy it. I’m not sure what happened to that property – but it suffered from something that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone trying to sell a house: it had a ‘stigma’. Defined as ‘a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person’, a stigma is basically a feature of a property which makes it considerably more difficult to sell. And while there are many subjective things that can put someone off buying – there is general agreement about the main things which ‘stigmatise’ a property. They include:

suburbs in some of our towns and cities in which it is considerably more difficult to sell a property. If the median house value in your area is considerably lower than the average price for your town you may live in one of these. 2. Noise While less of an issue in CBD locations – constant noise (particularly road noise) can be a major turn off to potential buyers. 3. Plaster exteriors So strong is the stigma associated with the ‘leaky homes’ fiasco of the 1990s and early 2000s that even weathertight homes built well before this time are affected by it simply if they ‘look’ as if they have a plaster exterior – and often potential buyers will refuse to even view such properties based solely on a listing photograph. While understandable – this has affected the saleability of thousands of perfectly good homes with absolutely no issues. 4. Neighbouring houses Remember how your Mum told you that we’re judged by the company that we keep?
Well it’s true of houses too. Even well presented, well maintained, homes with manicured lawns can be stigmatised if they’re next door (or close) to derelict properties with decaying facades, un-mowed lawns, or a pile of car bodies piling up. Sad, but true. 5. Street names Yes, even a street name can stigmatise a location – sometimes because the name is stupid, difficult or offensive – or sometimes because the name assumes a new (offensive) meaning years after the original street was named. 6. Access A strangely shaped, steep or narrow driveway; a tight turning area; or an excessive number of steps can all put people off buying and can be difficult to remedy. 7. Lack of parking/garaging With the exception of cities like Wellington, where such things appear to be par for the course, a lack of off street parking and garaging will generally be an obstacle to selling a home.

*At the time of printing
If you’re in the market to sell a property affected by one of these things – anything that you can do to reduce or remove the stigma will obviously improve your prospects of a sale. And remember, time and price are your friend. The longer you can wait – and/or the more you’re prepared to negotiate on price – the greater your chances of finding someone who is prepared to look past the problems and purchase your property.
