Spring forward, summer is on its way. ☀️ Daylight Saving starts tomorrow, so don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour before heading to bed tonight. While you may lose an hour of sleep, you’ll gain longer, lighter evenings, giving you more time to make the most of the warmer months ahead. 🌿🌅

Strong confidence in New Zealand’s dairy sector continues to drive demand, with Canterbury setting new benchmarks and reinforcing its position as one of the country’s most sought-after dairy regions. As buyers look beyond headline figures and focus on long-term production value, quality dairy assets across the country remain firmly on investors’ radar.

That’s a wrap on Wig Wednesday!

We originally pledged $1 for every like on our team video, up to $500, with another $500 matched personally by our sales manager, Shaun. While we didn’t reach 500 likes, we’ve decided the cause is far too important to not donate the full amount.

Bayleys South Canterbury will be donating $500, and Shaun will be matching it with another $500.

Together with your generous donations, that brings our Wig Wednesday total to $1,242 for Child Cancer Foundation.

For our team, this one is personal. Shaun’s daughter Indie and Hannah’s brother Tim have both faced childhood cancer, so we know first hand just how much the support of Child Cancer Foundation can mean to families going through it.

Thank you to everyone who liked, shared, donated, or got behind us. We’re very proud to support an organisation that has meant so much to families within our own team.

And while Wig Wednesday might be over, it’s never too late to support:

📊 REINZ has released its August 2026 market data.

Canterbury’s median house price increased 1.5% year-on-year to $700,500, with properties taking a median of 44 days to sell.

REINZ Chief Executive Lizzy Ryley says first-home buyers remained the most active buyer group in August, with owner-occupiers also showing strong levels of activity. Investor demand softened in some parts of the region as buyers adopted a more cautious approach ahead of the November general election.
Vendor price expectations were generally aligned with market conditions, although some sellers continued to hold firm on higher price expectations. Open home attendance ranged from steady to strong, particularly for properties appealing to first-home buyers. Auction performance remained positive, with healthy clearance rates and an increase in the number of properties selling under the hammer in some areas.

Market sentiment was broadly steady, with first-home buyers demonstrating a willingness to transact. New listings across Christchurch attracted solid interest, and local salespeople anticipate stable market conditions, with more properties expected to come to market over the coming months.

🎗️ Wig Wednesday is a cause that is especially close to the hearts of the Bayleys South Canterbury team.

Childhood cancer has directly touched two families within our office, so this is a cause that carries a very personal meaning for us.

We are incredibly fortunate to still have both of those people with us today, and that perspective makes us even more determined to do our bit to support the incredible work of the Child Cancer Foundation. ❤️

So this Wig Wednesday, we're pulling out the crazy wigs, having a bit of fun and raising as much as we can to help support Kiwi children and families facing childhood cancer.
For every like 👍 our Wig Wednesday video receives, Bayleys South Canterbury will donate $1 to the Child Cancer Foundation, up to $500. Our Sales Manager will then match that donation dollar for dollar, meaning together we could contribute up to $1,000. 🙌

You can also support us by making a donation directly to our Wig Wednesday fundraising page:

Every like, every donation and every bit of support helps make a difference. 💛

With the election approaching, some buyers and sellers are choosing to wait and see. But does an election really change the market?

New analysis suggests elections may have a modest impact on transaction volumes, while house prices tend to be influenced by much broader economic factors. Discover what history can tell us and what it could mean for your next property decision.
