🔥 **THE MARKET HAS CHANGED — BUT HAVE YOUR EXPECTATIONS CHANGED WITH IT?**

A few years ago, selling real estate looked very different.

Buyers were competing hard. Properties could attract multiple offers quickly. Stock was tighter, and in many cases sellers held considerably more negotiating power.

**That isn’t the market we're operating in today.**

Buyers have more choice. They're taking their time. They're comparing properties carefully, and they're far more sensitive to **price, presentation and value.**

And that's why trying to sell your home using expectations from **two or three years ago** can cause problems.

The fundamentals haven't changed:

🏡 **Presentation creates desire.**
📣 **Marketing creates attention.**
💰 **Pricing creates urgency.**
🤝 **Negotiation converts interest into a sale.**

But the strategy required to bring those things together **has changed.**

🎥 **Watch the video — especially if you're considering selling this spring or summer.**

The market isn't necessarily telling you **not to sell.**

It's telling you that if you ARE going to sell, **you need to understand the market you're actually selling in.**

👇 Know someone considering putting their property on the market? **Send them this video.**

And if you'd like to know what today's market means specifically for **your property**, give me a call.

🔥 70 METRES FROM FAIRFIELD SCHOOL… FOUR BEDROOMS… AND STILL ROOM TO ADD VALUE.

📍 81 MacArthur Street, Levin

I’ve just completed another open-home walkthrough, and for families, first-home buyers or investors, there’s plenty to like about this one.

First, the location.

You’re approximately 70 metres from the entrance to Fairfield School — about as convenient as the school run gets. 🎒🏫

Then there’s the property itself:

🏡 Solid 1960s weatherboard home
🛏️ Four bedrooms
🚽 Two toilets
✨ Modern updates throughout
🔐 Electric sliding gate
🏛️ Impressive entrance pillars and great street presence
🌿 Family-friendly outdoor space
🔨 And importantly — there’s still opportunity to add further value

That last point is what makes this property particularly interesting.

You’re not starting with a complete project. You’ve already got a tidy, modernised four-bedroom home in a sought-after location — but there’s still scope for the next owner to put their stamp on it and continue improving the property over time.

🎥 WATCH THE OPEN-HOME WALKTHROUGH and see what you think.

Then help me find the person who’s been waiting for something around Fairfield…

👇 TAG a family looking near Fairfield School or SHARE this video with them.

They might have just found the one. 👀

🌊 IF YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT AT WAITĀRERE BEACH… WALK THROUGH THIS ONE WITH ME.

📍 30 Kent Avenue, Waitārere Beach

This isn’t another cookie-cutter beach house.

It’s a distinctive architectural home designed around space, privacy, entertaining and that relaxed Waitārere lifestyle.

And there is a LOT more here than you might expect from the street. 👀

🏡 Three bedrooms + office
🛋️ Two separate living areas
☀️ Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces
🌿 Private, sheltered backyard
🎨 Separate studio with bedroom and bathroom
🧵 Additional craft/hobby space
🚗 Double garage
🌳 Generous section
🏖️ And just a short walk to the sand

The vendors have already purchased elsewhere, so their next move is sorted.

Now they need to find the person who’ll make 30 Kent Avenue their next home.

🎥 WATCH THE OPEN-HOME WALKTHROUGH and see how all these spaces come together.

Then help me find the buyer…

👇 TAG someone who would love this lifestyle or SHARE this video with somebody who’s been talking about moving to Waitārere Beach.

Sometimes the right buyer is only one share away.

📞 Want to experience it properly? Call me on 027 482 8458 and arrange your viewing.

🔥 INVESTORS — RUN THE NUMBERS ON THIS ONE.

📍 107 Ryder Crescent, Levin
💰 Buyer Enquiry Over $699,000

I’ve just completed another full video walkthrough, and this is a property you really need to see from an investment perspective.

At the front, you’ve got a substantial four-bedroom family home tucked away in a quiet street with a rural outlook, excellent privacy and some seriously impressive entertaining spaces.

But then you discover what’s at the back… 👀

🏡 A separate two-bedroom dwelling
🚗 Its own separate driveway and entrance
📬 Separate mailbox
🌿 Private outdoor space
🛏️ Two bedrooms with its own living, kitchen and bathroom facilities

That creates a setup that could work brilliantly for extended family, multi-generational living or potential home-and-income.

And here’s where investors should pay attention:

📈 Based on anticipated rental assessments, the combined rental potential could exceed $1,000 per week.*

Now compare that potential with a Buyer Enquiry Over $699,000 and this becomes a property worth getting the calculator out for.

And you’re not simply buying for the numbers.

The main residence itself is packed with features, with four bedrooms, ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, multiple living spaces and a private, resort-style atmosphere that genuinely needs to be experienced.

🎥 WATCH THE WALKTHROUGH.

Then TAG an investor or send this to somebody who’s been searching for a genuine home-and-income opportunity.

There is a lot of property here for the money.

*Potential rental income is indicative only and is not guaranteed. Buyers should undertake their own due diligence regarding rental assessments, compliance and intended use of both dwellings.

🌊🔥 $329,000 TO OWN AN ESTABLISHED PROPERTY AT WAITĀRERE BEACH…

📍 71 Rua Avenue, Waitārere Beach
💰 Buyer Enquiry Over $329,000

If you’ve been telling yourself that owning property at Waitārere Beach is simply out of reach, you need to watch this walkthrough.

At Buyer Enquiry Over $329,000, this is currently the cheapest established property on the market at Waitārere Beach.

And that’s where I think the opportunity becomes really interesting.

You’re on the waterfront side of Rua Avenue, tucked away behind another property in a sheltered position — and you’re buying into one of our most popular local beach communities at the entry level of the established market.

🏡 An established property
🌊 Waitārere Beach location
💰 BEO $329,000
🔨 Opportunity to add value
🌳 Potential longer-term land-bank opportunity
🏖️ Beach lifestyle without the usual beach-property price tag

Could you renovate it?

Could you use it as a beach getaway?

Could you simply secure the property now and think longer term?

That’s for you to decide.

Nobody can promise what property values will do in the future — but we can look at what $329,000 actually buys you TODAY.

🎥 Take the open-home walkthrough with me and have a proper look.

Then send this video to the person who’s always saying:

“I’d love to own something at Waitārere Beach one day.”

Because their “one day” might be worth investigating right now. 👀🌊

📞 Interested? Call me on 027 482 8458 and come see 71 Rua Avenue for yourself.

🔥 $360,000 — FIRST-HOME BUYERS & INVESTORS, HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.

📍 118 Weraroa Road, Levin
💰 $360,000

I’ve just completed today’s open-home walkthrough, and if you’re searching at the affordable end of the Levin market, this property deserves your attention.

This is a tidy 1960s weatherboard home that has been well looked after and already benefits from some smart updates.

🏡 Two bedrooms
✨ Updated kitchen
✨ Updated flooring
❄️ Heat pump heating
🚗 Separate single garage
🌿 Tidy, easy-care section
🔒 Fenced backyard
🚿 Accessible bathroom facilities

There is an existing gas heater at the property; however, the gas supply has been disconnected and the heater is not currently functional.

For $360,000, you’re getting a property that’s in excellent condition and could make a great option for a first-home buyer, investor, downsizer or anyone wanting something manageable and affordable.

🎥 WATCH THE FULL WALKTHROUGH and take a look around with me.

Then here’s where Facebook can do its thing…

Sometimes the person looking for a property like this simply hasn’t seen it yet.

Spring can reveal a lot about a property. As the weather warms up and homes begin to open up for the season, it's a great time for buyers to pay attention to details that may have been less noticeable during cooler months.

When attending inspections or open homes, keep an eye out for:

🌧️ Signs of roof wear or damage from wet weather and storms
💧 Gutter, drainage, or water flow issues around the property
🧱 Cracks, movement, or signs that may require further investigation
🚪 Moisture marks, dampness, or water damage around windows and doors
🌿 The condition of outdoor areas, gardens, and landscaping after winter

A thorough inspection and the right due diligence can help you understand a property's condition before making an offer, giving you greater confidence in your decision.

Found a home you love? Taking the time to ask the right questions and understand the property can make all the difference.

🔥 OVER $1,000 A WEEK IN POTENTIAL RENTAL INCOME… FROM ONE PROPERTY?

📍 107 Ryder Crescent, Levin
💰 Buyer Enquiry Over $699,000

If you’ve been looking at property from an investment or home-and-income perspective, you need to take a closer look at this one.

Tucked away in a quiet street with a rural outlook, the main residence is a private four-bedroom home packed with features, fantastic entertaining spaces and a fully fenced section.

But it’s what sits behind it that makes this opportunity particularly interesting. 👀

There’s a separate two-bedroom dwelling with:

🏡 Its own living, kitchen and bathroom facilities
🚗 Separate driveway and entrance
📬 Separate mailbox
🌿 Its own outdoor space
🔑 Excellent separation from the main residence

That creates some serious flexibility — extended family, multi-generational living or potential home-and-income.

And from an investment perspective, based on anticipated rental assessments, the combined potential rental income could exceed $1,000 per week.* 📈

At Buyer Enquiry Over $699,000, run the numbers and take a proper look at what you’re getting.

🎥 Watch the reel — then come and see 107 Ryder Crescent in person.

There are simply too many features here to explain from the roadside.
