From the NZ Herald today: "Ask most real estate agents whether you should sell in a weak property market, and most will tell you that as long as you’re selling and buying in the same market, it doesn’t matter. New Zealand’s housing market remains tilted in favour of buyers, with weak sales and national values still well below their peak. For sellers trying to assess what their home is worth, Barfoot & Thompson real estate agent Ryan Harding warns against choosing an agent simply because they offer the highest appraisal." Great advice and if you are looking for an appraisal based on real data analysis, plus a comprehensive viewing, then call me. I see appraisals that are far from accurate and often over-inflated for the very reason Ryan mentions. Vendors deserve better!

It's been a busy morning and the latest Agent results from economist Tony Alexander are just in. He notes:

1. Market conditions remain firmly in favour of buyers, as has been the case now for two and a half years.
2. First home buyers continue to strongly take advantage of a market in their favour, but investors remain hesitant to buy.
3. Agents feel on average that prices are still falling while buyers are concerned about further falls after they might make a purchase. They also have concerns about employment and rising interest rates.

One caveat: Tony's results don't automatically apply to the Taupo market. For more accurate results, suburb by suburb, please give me a call and we can chat :-).

Don't believe everything you read! A report today in STUFF highlights the sluggish property market and notes, "Property sales volumes have inched lower so far this year, although they're still at a relatively normal level. But the stock of listings remains elevated and this is giving buyers the balance of power when it comes to pricing." But, and this is a big BUT, Taupo is different. Our listing volumes are now 20 percent lower than at the start of 2024 and this is creating more buyer demand. The formula is simple: Fewer numbers = higher demand. Personally, if I was thinking of selling now, this is the time I would be planning to make a move. Give me a call and we can plan together and stand out in the Taupo market.

Very sad to learn that our previous mayor has passed away. David Trewavas served Taupo for a remarkable number of years and connected with all walks of life along the way. Rest in Peace.

Trewavas served four terms as mayor of Taupō, two terms as a councillor, and one term as deputy mayor.
