What Our Customers Say
Conscientious
Easy to deal with. Puts a lot of energy into supporting the sales process.
Andrea was a star
Andrea was very welcoming and not at all pushy. She was professional in her dealings with me and if she didn’t immediately know the answer to my questions she found out and got back to me in a timely manner. Nothing was too much trouble for Andrea. She followed everything up right to settlement date and beyond. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Andrea to any prospective property purchaser and I wish her all the best in her chosen career.
Thanks for the assistance
Thanks for the assistance you & your wider team have provided in achieving the desired result all round & obviously in particular to Sharon who has navigated this success through some uncharted challenges for us both. I believe this is the last stepping stone for me to finally now be able to move on with my positive life.

Market Update May 2025
The Kerikeri property market remains lively, with sales volumes up around 20% compared to last year. The average days to sell have increased to over 120 days, reflecting thoughtful buyer patience. Buyers today are cautious, carefully considering risks, and properties that are well-maintained, compliant, and situated on stable land are attracting strong interest. Recent reports, including insights from analyst Tony Alexander, indicate steady house prices and resilient buyer activity nationwide. While mortgage rates have decreased, affordability continues to be a focus, encouraging buyers to take their time. There’s growing confidence that new listings will meet market needs. Overall, the market is set for steady growth through 2025, and vendors who prepare well, address outstanding issues, and present their properties effectively will enjoy better sale outcomes. Smart sellers are taking action now, knowing they are operating within a steady, balanced market. ...

Market Update February 2025
In 2024, Kerikeri's housing market improved, with around 10% more homes selling compared to 2023. However, many homes are selling for less than their official value, and prices have dropped by about 10-15% from their peak in 2022. The Reserve Bank is likely to lower interest rates by another 0.5% in February, which could help make borrowing money cheaper. While this could give the market a boost, other factors like job uncertainty and fewer people moving to New Zealand are keeping demand from growing too quickly. Right now, there are a lot of homes for sale, but this is more true in some price ranges than others. Because of this, prices are expected to stay fairly steady through the first half of 2025. Investors are starting to look at other options since interest rates on savings aren’t as high, but they’re also cautious because of higher mortgage rates and insurance costs. First-time homebuyers might have a chance to buy before investors come back stronger. For those looking to "climb the property ladder" — meaning upgrading to a better home — this could be a good time. Some price brackets have compressed, and with lower interest rates, savvy buyers might be able to move up in property value without spending too much more than their current home’s price. Feel free to stop by anytime for a coffee and a chat with one of our team members if you want to talk about the market more!...
November Commercial Commentary
Recent data from CoreLogic highlights the pressure being felt in the commercial and industrial sectors. Year end sales to June indicate $5.32 billion which appears significant but when compared to the average of $9.88 billion for period from 2015 to 2023 with a high of around $15 billion in 2021. Locally, there have been 6 commercial/industrial property sales from January thru October with one of those being a private sale. On a positive note, enquiries have definitely increased with a number of these being from businesses currently located outside of our area looking to expand current operations and Kerikeri is seen as an area for expected growth. While it is expected that there may not be any movement in the OCR on 27 November, the markets have anticipated this and hopefully we will continue to see a slow easing in the lending rates. This will assist in the housing market with an effect flowing through to the commercial market as new arrivals bring enterprise with them or locals feel encouraged to try something or expand their current operation. So what does this mean for you? • The area is attracting interest from external businesses, signalling potential for property value increases and economic activity in the region. • With lending rates potentially easing, there may be a positive impact on the housing and commercial property markets. This could benefit investors and business owners in the area. • If you're involved in property, business, or investments in the region, this data suggests a cautiously optimistic outlook. Opportunities might arise as lending conditions improve and interest in the region grows. Feel free to phone me or drop in for a chat about anything commercial. Wayne Scott 027 498 3312...
