Industry Comment

Seven tactics for selling 1. Don’t overprice your property – clearly the age old dilemma of the vendors expectations being beyond the rational desire of the buyer to pay what they believe the property is worth. But did you know the impact of a protracted sale on the ultimate price?

Mark Allred Redfin (a United States based real estate company) outlines facts borne of scientific data and analysis that should be read and understood by all property owners and agents alike.

2. Set your price to show up in web searches – A lot of buyers will search for houses within a certain price range. All properties listed on websites need to have a price range wide enough to capture buyers in higher and lower price brackets.

The data might be from the US, but the relevancy to New Zealand I don’t think would be disputed. Applying a local interpretation provides this summary.

3. Best day to list a property – the US research says the best day to list is Friday, classically this is when the weekly magazines come out, but did you know that most searches on realestate.co.nz are undertaken on a Monday lunchtime – listing on the weekend with an email alert on Monday morning

can coincide with the peak searching at work on Monday mornings 4. Stay engaged – pretty logical as your property is your most valuable asset so applying the time to the selling process would be a good investment in your time. Don’t list and walk away, continue to talk to

Don't move out of your house when selling.

growing too slowly, or that have received a bad check, tend to be quite bitter. Ours are planted in a layer of compost sitting on the top of the soil, with a little bit of dolomite worked in as the compost will be slightly acidic. I also worked a little general fertiliser into the soil, and then, as the plants grow, I’ll give them a little boost along the way using a soluble fertiliser. Later on in the season, it pays to have some form of shade for lettuces - not the deep shade you’ll find from a building, but rather a lighter shade from plants. Thi s year I intend to plant in among the shade from the tomato plants. I’ll need to be careful, of course, as these two plants need quite different fertilisers. Although this is a simplification, lettuces need nitrogen to grow the leaves, while tomatoes prefer a fertiliser with more potash to help grow the fruit.

Although we often use the deep green “Fordhook Giant”, with its bright white stems, I think we’ll go for “Rainbow Lights” this year, with stems that feature an amazing range of odd colours—bright yellows, golds, reds, oranges, pinks—even purples and lilacs. In some cases the foliage is deeply coloured as well, the deep red forms almost as dark as the red lettuces.

Interior Decor

Kitchens BY SUSAN EDMUNDS

Homeowners want a space to cook, but also to entertain and to dine in — and the latest designs reflect this, says Susan Edmunds. So, it’s no surprise that homeowners are putting much more emphasis on the functionality of their kitchens when it comes time for a face-lift. Designs no longer just have to look great, they have to be easy to work with and effortlessly accommodate all the life that goes on in and around an average kitchen. Think large islands for preparing food and entertaining casually, integrated appliances that hide away from sight when they aren’t needed, a focus on great task lighting, and as much storage as you can possibly fit in. Good kitchen design is no longer a matter of choosing between cupboards and drawers. Even Martha Stewart sings the praises of shelves.

such as a granite or quartz bench top in the same colour as the cabinetry. But designers this year are encouraging homeowners to throw that idea out the window. Don’t be afraid to go for white Mixing up different colours, as your base colour if you want to styles and textures in cabinetry maximise the feeling of space in and finishings adds interest and your kitchen, but add pops of other allows your kitchen to reflect the shades. personality of your home. a black-and-white scheme can look amazing if you have the kitchen to pull it off. Frameless cabinetry is also proving popular.

COOKING has become extremely fashionable lately, with everything from My Kitchen Rules to Kitchen Nightmares screening on television every night.

If you’re renovating on a budget, you may be able to make big

changes to your kitchen through simple things like resurfacing the cabinets and replacing the door handles. Add a few colourful tiles or replace the taps in the kitchen sink. As long as the room is crisp and clean, it is easy to give it a lift with simple accessories.

Tangerine and lime are really trendy colours this year — you wouldn’t want your whole kitchen in them but the odd splash-back or towel can look amazing. Before you start designing your new kitchen, see if you can come up with a theme. Whether it’s country farmhouse or modern minimalist, your theme will drive the kind of colours and appliances you choose.

There’s a definite trend towards “lifestyle” kitchens — those that are designed for the kids to do their homework in as much as they are They can fit on to virtually any wall space: Stack things, sort things a place for dinner to be cooked.

What's

The Underarm By David Geary & Justin Gregory This is the story of two brothers ripped apart by the most infamous act in trans-Tasman sport. When the Aussies committed what Rob Muldoon later described as ‘An act of cowardice appropriate to a team that wears a yellow uniform’, The MCG ignited: Kiwis v Aussies, Aussies v Aussies, and Colin and Dons’ drunk parents violently versus each other. Kiwi Mum drags Colin, screaming, off to live in Wellington, NZ. Don marinates with Dad at home in Brisbane.

The Club Orchestra

Reprising his role as the Kiwi brother, Colin, is multi award-winning Wellington actor, Christopher Brougham (Shortland Street, The Strip, Avatar, The Hobbit): “Comic genius…Nothing short of brilliant” – Capital Times And directing is one of New Zealand’s most celebrated actor/ directors, Peter Hambleton. With multiple awards from a 30-year career in stage and film, Peter joins us fresh from his role as the dwarf Gloin in The Hobbit trilogy.

The Underarm is a riotous and hugely entertaining show that has shown tremendous appeal to those who don’t ordinarily attend theatre children, sports clubs and corporate groups, but there’s plenty of real drama and emotion to balance the cricket trivia and blokiness. Regular theatre-goers are not deprived.

As adults, Don and Colin are reunited at the Basin Reserve in Wellington, and put on trial the very man responsible for their separation – the Australian cricket captain in 1981, Greg Chappell. But the hijinks soon turn serious when the scab’s ripped off their troubled past and the focus shifts to the real culprit: which parent was responsible for their lost childhood? What results is a tumultuous ride through sport, politics and the ugly side of broken families. And, of course, the perennial sledging match that is Aussie-Kiwi relations.
