Market Comment
GOLD COMMENT
The REINZ stats tell us there were some 810 residential sales of dwellings and sections recorded in Christchurch city for March this year, almost 80 more than March last year. This increase of around 10% is showing us that our market is still strong and steady. With the release of the April REINZ data it is apparent that Christchurch has continued with the strong steady market we have been talking about and experiencing for over a year now. From what our consultants are telling us and based on open home visits, there has been no drop off in demand from the buyers, and certainly no discernible let-up in enquiry. The REINZ stats tell us there were some 810 residential sales of dwellings and sections recorded in Christchurch city for March this year, almost 80 more than March last year. This increase of around 10% is showing us that our market is still strong and steady. The aforementioned volume of sales makes it the third best March sales month recorded in the last 10 years. We have now had the last two months consecutively showing near record sales volumes, a very positive sign for our city and what is happening around us. As mentioned last month we have noticed a significant slowdown in listing activity, in comparison to what we would normally expect. There is no discernible reason that we can think of to account for this, unless Christchurch is just taking a breather while people enjoy their homes having been remediated, replaced, repainted and repaired. So once again, with good sales still occurring and reasonable stock levels, we can expect that prices will remain steady for the near future. This is borne
out with the current Median sale price for Christchurch showing very little movement over recent months and it has consistently hovered around the $440,000 level +/- according to the REINZ data. Certainly when talking with our consultants there is seems to be a feeling that we are still not seeing a lot of movement price-wise either up or down, and that’s purely because there is currently a reasonable amount of choice out there for buyers. As mentioned last month the good old Traditional “Blue Chip” locations continue to get huge levels of interest in available property. In recent times we have started to see an even greater availability of the “As Is“ properties coming up in these sought after areas, and it is noticeable that this is creating a large amount of interest within the development sector, which developers, and investors competing with individuals wishing to purchase in the Blue Chip locations. Here at Harcourts Gold we have just finished up the latest financial years results, and as you would expect with a well performing group of offices they are outstanding. We have listed and sold an additional 104 Auctions in the past year, an increase of over 18%. Our total number of written sales has also increased by close to 18% over the year. It is this sort of level of performance you require from a professional team and a professional company when you are selling your biggest asset. As mentioned earlier, the
JIM DAVIS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER HARCOURTS GOLD REINZ figures capture the median sale price as an indicator of what values are doing. Here at Harcourts Gold, we capture the average sale price of all our transactions across the city. According to our statistics, there has been a very modest 2% rise in the last year which reinforces what I said earlier – that property prices have not altered greatly in the last year. If you are interested in the rental market across the city, a quick search shows that currently there are in excess of 1800 rentals available to rent at any given point of time. As a landlord this equates to a lot of lost income potential, and the longer your property remains untenanted the greater the potential lost income. More than ever it is critical your rentals are priced competitively in the current climate. Just because you had a great rent last year when you signed in your tenant, this doesn’t mean there is another prepared to pay the same level when they have so much choice available. Think carefully of the rent you want, especially as there are now plenty of newly renovated (and in some areas plenty of new built) property available. If you need help in this regard, contact our Team at Gold Property management as they are experts in the Property management field. Autumn is well and truly here now, but make no mistake the market is still very active. So if you need the best of the best working on the sale of your property, call Harcourts Gold or one of our Gold sales consultants.

OUR DREAMS FUEL OUR OUTCOMES! Planning for business & life!
Real estate has its own annual rhythm and it’s about this time of year I start reacquainting myself with some of its finer points.
LYNETTE MCFADDEN BUSINESS OWNER HARCOURTS GOLD
GOLD CHAT
It’s the end of the financial year, the commencement of business planning and, for the brand I’m associated with, conference time. It’s surreal, stressful and strategic all at once, with the pressure really being applied to enter the new financial year refreshed and refocused. Which after a year of long hours and big results is not easy. Remaining relevant to your marketplace, engaged and committed takes planning and the kind of thought processes that keep you awake at night. I run the business planning sessions for our large team of consultants and because I want to fill the box, not just tick it. I put serious amounts of time and thought into my delivery. This year I utilised a relatively creative approach to the session incorporating the following truths. There are five of them and they are my feelings and thoughts after many years at the helm.
1. Any plan is better than no plan at all We all know the statistics that sit behind this statement and these can be readily accessed using Google. Basically they establish that there is a wide gulf between having a formal written plan and no plan at all. Completing a plan and following it positively correlated with business success and for many this flows on to personal success too.
tell you it’s almost impossible to engage everyone every time. So I go for as much participation as possible and I did remind them that there were some good take-home points of value so it was best to be alert to them.
Including me! So if we’re together, let’s bring our best selves.
5. Our dreams fuel our outcomes Having the right dreams, goals or purpose is like having rocket fuel in the tank. It’s just a matter of identifying them and for most people that’s one of the hardest things to do.
2. I know one plan does not fit all Plans can be long, short, elaborate or simple. Over the years I’ve had to do some plans that were so complex you needed a PhD to navigate them (hopeless). But the main aim for me as I dealt with my large group of attendees was providing a framework that got most, if not everyone thinking. Any trainer will
4. None of us has to be here
3. We can all be open to being better Better people, realtors, partners, siblings, parents, etc. and putting time aside to determine how to do this makes us better human beings. So I always include this as one of my personal truths.
So there you are, that’s the framework. Now all I’m waiting for are the results! Enjoy this warm, lingering autumn as anyone who watches Game of Thrones will tell you – winter is coming.
