As you drive around the Kapiti Coast, you will notice more and more For Sale signs. This would indicate that the scales are tipped in favour of buyers at this time. In the industry, we are seeing buyers getting quite picky about buying homes that require a little TLC. Homes requiring work are sitting on the shelf, and this is a big opportunity for the canny buyer who is prepared to do the mahi to bring a property back to life. So, if you are a buyer with a few skills or have access to family members with skills who owe you a few favours, now is your time to pounce and secure a bargain. Interest rates are tipped to increase this year, so it's a great time to buy and lock in a favourable interest rate. Delaying a purchase may cost you dearly in interest payments over the next few years, so get some advice and jump into the property market, get a sharp price on something that needs work, and maximise your chances of better capital gains that may be available over the medium to long term.
