Buying your first home can feel exciting… and overwhelming at the same time.
That’s why I teamed up with mortgage adviser Arti Sangwan to talk about some of the key things first home buyers should know before entering the market.
From understanding lending requirements to getting financially prepared, having the right advice early can make a huge difference to your buying journey.
If getting into your first home is one of your goals for 2026, this video is a great place to start.

Mother’s Day always makes me stop and reflect.

A big part of my life is being a mum to my two daughters — it’s not always easy, but it’s one of the most fulfilling things I’ll ever do. Knowing you’re doing right by your family, even when it goes unnoticed, means everything.

To all the mums in Avonhead and Russley; I see you. Wishing you a truly special Mother’s Day ❤️

At the same time, I’ve been having more conversations lately with families thinking about what the next chapter looks like… more space, less maintenance, or simply a home that fits life now.

If that’s been on your mind, even quietly, I’m always here for a chat.

This is not real estate — this is personal. Let me help you make the right move.

Today we pause to remember.

ANZAC Day is not just a date—it’s a moment to reflect on sacrifice, courage, and the lives given so others could live in peace.

It reminds us that the freedoms we enjoy today were not given lightly.

We honour those who served, those who never returned, and the families who carried that loss.

Lest we forget. 🌺

Space to Design Without Compromise - Westmorland
Set within the established Westmorland Heights hillside, this 1,492sqm site offers the rare combination buyers look for but seldom find - views, elevation, and confidence to build.
A recent geotechnical investigation confirms the land is suitable for residential construction, with foundations able to be supported by underlying volcanic rock, providing excellent stability and performance.
Importantly, the property sits outside rockfall and flood hazard areas and is classified as rock ground - the type of land architects and builders prefer when designing quality hillside homes.
The moderate slope allows for creative architectural design without compromising practicality - meaning you can design the home you want, not the one the land forces you into.
The vendor's plans have changed, and this is now an opportunity for someone else to create their long-term home in a location surrounded by established high-quality builds.

Christchurch Property Market Update 📊

Here’s what we’re seeing on the ground right now:

Median price: $735,000 (up 2.7% year-on-year – now at a record high)
Sales: 696 in February (up nearly 3% YoY and a strong rebound from January)
Days on market: 45 days on average
Listings: 1,873 properties (up 2.4% month-on-month)

Rental market:

Median rent: $575/week (flat year-on-year)
Demand is strong, with +13% more searches
Properties are renting faster, averaging 17 days on market

What does this mean?

Christchurch is holding up well.
We’re seeing modest price growth, good buyer activity, and a healthy, functioning market.

At the same time, stock levels are increasing — which means more competition for sellers. Presentation and pricing are becoming more important than ever.

For buyers, opportunities are still there.
For sellers, strategy is key.

If you’re thinking about making a move, it pays to understand where the market is right now — not where it was six months ago.
