  • Is now the time to sell?
    Jun 25 2024

    Is it time to sell your property? Or should you hold on and wait for prices to improve?


    In this episode, I briefly explain real estate cycles, look at the justification for holding long-term, and consider situations where it might make sense to sell. I also suggest questions to ponder while working through your decision-making process.

  • When to adjust your asking price
    Jun 22 2022

    Markets can change quickly. Interest rates are going up, bank criteria are getting tougher, KiwiSaver balances are dropping and more properties are coming on the market every day. All these factors influence what buyers are prepared to pay for your home. As a seller, it's important to keep reflecting on what price you are expecting to understand if it's still in line with current market conditions.
