Ways to make your home more attractive to buyers the space.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH PHILLIP KENNY REAL ESTATE LTD MREINZ

Purchasing a home is both a financial and emotional decision so the look and feel of your home will be an important factor in attracting interested buyers.

Here are our top tips for helping you prepare your home for the market: FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT

What will people see the first time they walk up to your house? Make sure your property has ‘curbside appeal’ with a well-maintained fence, driveway, letterbox, front door, lawns, hedging, and exterior.

Outdoor living is a big selling point so make your outdoor space inviting.

DECLUTTER

Remove clutter from your home and put it in storage. This includes oversized or too much furniture, large bench top appliances, and personal items like photographs, CDs, books and magazines. This will make your home appear bigger and allow buyers to picture themselves in

Your house should feel like a home.

Once you’ve decluttered, a few personal touches such as flowers, a bowl of fruit on your kitchen counter, and a pot plant here and there will do wonders to help buyers feel like your property could be their dream home.

FRESHEN UP YOUR WALLS WITH A COAT OF PAINT Use a neutral, light shade to make your home appear more spacious.

This also gives prospective buyers a blank canvas to visualise what they would do with a room. Don’t forget to paint or varnish the doors too.

MAKE YOUR HOME SPARKLE

BRIGHTEN YOUR HOME

Aim for soft lighting throughout the home and bright light in the kitchen and bathroom. Use lamps to brighten dark corners. If you have old curtains or blinds, take them down and replace them with basic cotton or linen ones and make sure they are tied back to make the most of any natural light. Make sure you replace burnt out light bulbs.

PETS

Clean every room in your home, including the windows inside and out. In particular, ensure your bathroom sparkles, remove any mould and replace your shower curtain (if you have one).

While you’re cleaning, you should eliminate the source of any unpleasant odours inside and outside your home. A bad smell will quickly turn off prospective buyers.

DO NECESSARY REPAIRS

Buyers don’t want to spend their time or money doing repairs to

OPEN HOMES

a home they’ve just bought. You can remove that barrier by fixing anything off its hinges, replacing broken tiles, repairing holes in walls etc. Give your home some TLC so that buyers know that it’s been well looked after.

We love our pets but not everybody else does. Be aware that many people have allergies to, or are simply not used to animals.

Keep them out of the way when prospective buyers are visiting your home.

It may sound like a lot of work, but doing these simple things, can really pay dividends by helping you to attract interested buyers. Remember, you’re not just selling a property but a potential new lifestyle for the homeowner so put yourself in their shoes when preparing your home for sale.

Top stain removal tips

By Nadine Porter If you’ve lived in your house awhile it’s quite likely that come time to move you have a few nasties to get rid of, especially if you have young children.

Here are some of our top tips to help erase the meanest marks. Try these and your house will sparkle once again and potential buyers will leave with a good impression!

SYNTHETIC FIBRE RUGS

Wine, tomato sauce, chocolate, coffee, tea, beer, milk, tomato sauce, berries, hard candy, juice and fizzy drink.

1. Put a white cloth (or a white paper towel with no printing) into a detergent and water solution and dab repeatedly, then press the cloth on the spot for a few seconds. Wait 15 minutes (it takes time to break down the stain), then soak up the excess liquid with a dry white cloth.

2. Dip a cloth into the vinegar solution and dab repeatedly, then press the cloth on the spot for a few seconds. Wait another 15

minutes. (This is an important step, because white vinegar removes residual detergent, which will attract dirt if left in the carpet.)

3. Rinse by blotting with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water. Wait one hour or until the carpet dries completely. For bad spills, place a 1/2-inch-thick stack of white paper towels over the stain after step 2, then lay a glass baking dish on top for 15 minutes.

4. As long as you see the stain lightening, repeat these steps until it is gone.

NATURAL FIBRE RUGS

Beer, coffee, tea 1. Spray the stain with detergent solution, then blot with a dry white cloth.

2. Spray the stain with vinegar solution, then blot with a dry white cloth.

3. Spray the stain with detergent solution, then blot with a dry white cloth.

4. Spray the stain with lukewarm water, then blot with a dry white cloth.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the stain is removed.

SYNTHETIC & NATURAL FIBRE RUGS Hard lollies, chocolate, berries, juice, wine, fizzy drink and milk:

Follow steps 1 to 5 (above), with one addition: Before applying the vinegar solution in step 2, spray the stain with ammonia solution, then blot with a dry white cloth.

Tomato sauce: Follow steps 1 to 5 (above), but substitute ammonia solution for the vinegar one in step 2.

Chewing gum, wax 1. Gently rub the spot with a Ziploc bag filled with ice cubes until the stain hardens. Shatter it with a blunt object, such as a spatula, and vacuum up the chips.

2. Apply a small amount of solvent with a white cloth, then blot.

3. Rinse by blotting with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water.

NATURAL FIBRE RUGS

Ballpoint Ink 1. Apply a small amount of solvent to a white cloth, then blot. Wait 15 minutes to dry; repeat if necessary.

2. Rinse by blotting with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water.

Permanent Felt-Tip Marker 1. Apply a small amount of solvent to a white cloth, then blot. Wait 15 minutes to dry.

2. Dip a white cloth into detergent

you want to do something a little different, why not pop them in a hanging basket or an old wine barrel?

The plant’s green foliage, white flowers and red berries will look great on your deck or patio. Just make sure they’re in a sunny and a welldrained spot.

Wherever you decide to plant these red delights, you’ll first need to get hold of our ‘bare rooted’ strawberry seedlings (which means we dig them up for you and shake the soil off the roots). Simply pop down to your local supermarket, The Warehouse or Bunnings and pick some up. Or, better still, head to our website at www.awapuni.co.nz and get them delivered direct to your door. Each bundle has around four plants which should produce between 60 to 100 strawberries. It may sound like a lot but I’ll bet you’ll get through them

in no time, so don’t be shy when ordering.

To get started, prepare the soil by digging in a general fertiliser that’s rich in potassium. This will help stimulate plant growth and produce large, juicy fruit. Before planting raise your garden bed by mounding the soil. This will encourage circulation, drainage and can add depth to shallow soil. If you’re planting in rows they should be around 60cm wide and 100cm apart.

Dig a hole about 10cm deep and place your seedling inside. You’ll need to make sure it’s a deep hole to give the roots plenty of room to spread out and grow…but be careful not to bury the plant.

Pack the soil firmly around each seedling and surround it with peastraw or newspaper to help keep away weeds and encourage fruiting on top. Once your seedlings begin to fruit, place netting or wire over them. This will block out birds and ensure you get to eat the strawberries yourself!

Planting in a pot? Easy! Plant around the sides to encourage the strawberries to hang over the sides and prevent your fruit from rotting.

And ensure you use a top quality potting mix. For an extra boost of goodness apply a liquid fertiliser to the mix.

In spring, add another dose of general fertiliser to your strawberries to encourage sturdier plants that are more disease resistant heading in to the warmer months. And make sure you give them plenty of water.

If you’re using hanging baskets, it’s best to pull out your strawberries and plant new ones after a year to freshen up the soil (don’t forget to use new potting mix).

But if they’re in your garden, your strawberry patch will last a couple of years. After this you can simply use your runners to create a new patch – now that’s what I call a sweet investment.

Sales volumes reflect cautious confidence in the rural sector Data released today by the Real Estate Institute of NZ (“REINZ”) shows there were 62 fewer farm sales (-11%) for the three months ended May 2015 than for the three months ended May 2014.

Overall, there were 502 farm sales in the three months to end of May 2015, compared to 485 farm sales for the three months ended April 2015 (+3.5%) and 564 farm sales for the three months to the end of May 2014. 1,747 farms were sold in the year to April 2015, 7.1% fewer than were sold in the year to May 2014.

The median price per hectare for all farms sold in the three months to May 2015 was $28,563 compared to $25,018 recorded for three months ended May 2014 (+14.2%). The median price per hectare fell 0.4% compared to April.

The REINZ All Farm Price Index rose 3.6% in the three months to May compared to the three months to April. Compared to May 2014 the REINZ All Farm Price Index rose by 4.6%. The REINZ All Farm Price Index adjusts for differences in farm size, location and farming type, unlike the median price per hectare, which does not adjust for these factors.

Four regions recorded increases in sales volume for the three months ended May 2015 compared to the three months ended May 2014.

Auckland recorded the largest increase in sales (+12 sales), followed

by Bay of Plenty (+10 sales) and Gisborne (+4 sales). Compared to the three months ended April 2015, six regions recorded an increase in sales.

“While sales volumes for the three months ending May 2015 eased compared to the previous, period”, says REINZ Rural Spokesman Brian Peacocke, “activity across most categories remained surprisingly strong with the main limitation being the shortage of available properties.”

“Given the time of the year, when most dairy farm settlements take place at the beginning of June and farmers are focused on wintering activities, such a shortage is expected and is likely to remain in place until spring.”

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE

• Ongoing dairy sales in Northland, Waikato, Taranaki and Southland; • Solid activity in finishing farms in the Auckland, Waikato and Canterbury regions; • Strong sales of grazing properties in Northland, Auckland, Manawatu/ Wanganui, Canterbury and Southland; • Continuing strong horticultural sales in the Bay of Plenty, with steady activity in the Nelson /

Marlborough area; and • A lift in arable sales in the Canterbury and Otago provinces.

Grazing properties accounted for the largest number of sales with 42.8% share of all sales over the three months to May 2015, Dairy properties accounted for 17.3%, Finishing properties accounted for 15.3% and Horticulture properties accounted for 13.9% of all sales.

These four property types accounted for 89.4% of all sales during the three months ended May 2015.

DAIRY FARMS

For the three months ended May 2015 the median sales price per hectare for dairy farms was $35,281 (87 properties), compared to $38,802 for the three months ended April 2015 (97 properties), and $33,543 (95 properties) for the three months ended May 2014. The median dairy farm size for the three months ended May 2015 was 110 hectares.

Included in sales for the month of May were 23 dairy farms at a median sale value of $35,759 per hectare.

The median farm size was 147 hectares with a range of 17 hectares in Bay of Plenty to 625 hectares in Taranaki. The median production per hectare across all dairy farms sold in May 2015 was 959 kgs of milk solids.

The REINZ Dairy Farm Price Index fell by 4.3% in the three months to May compared to the three months to April. Compared to May 2014, the REINZ Dairy Farm Price Index rose by 11.1%. The REINZ Dairy Farm Price Index adjusts for differences in farm size and location compared to the median price per hectare, which does not adjust for these factors.

FINISHING FARMS

For the three months ended May 2015 the median sale price per hectare for finishing farms was $27,534 (77 properties), compared to $20,966 for the three months ended April 2015 (77 properties), and $22,692 (122 properties) for the three months ended May 2014. The median finishing farm size for the three months ended May 2015 was 46 hectares.

GRAZING FARMS

For the three months ended May 2015 the median sales price per hectare for grazing farms was $16,638 (215 properties) compared to $16,741 for the three months ended April 2015 (192 properties), and $15,833 (228 properties) for the three months ended May 2014. The median grazing farm size for the three months ended May 2015 was 57 hectares.

HORTICULTURE FARMS

For the three months ended May 2015 the median sales price per hectare for horticulture farms was $247,549 (70 properties) compared to $266,883 (73 properties) for the

three months ended April 2015, and $186,250 (55 properties) for the three months ended May 2014. The median horticulture farm size for the three months ended May 2015 was five hectares.

LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES

The lifestyle property market saw a 17.4% lift (+306 sales) in sales volume in the three months to May 2015 compared to May 2014. 2,063 sales were recorded in the three months to April 2015 compared to 1,757 sales in the three months to May 2014; with May 2015 recording the highest number of sales in a three-month period since May 2007. 123 more sales were recorded compared to the three months to April 2015. For the 12 months to May 2015 there were 6,760 unconditional sales of lifestyle properties, an increase of 2.5% (+166 sales) over the 12 months to May 2014.

10 regions recorded an increase in sales compared to May 2014 while four recorded decreases in sales. Auckland recorded the largest increase in sales (+143) in the three months to May 2015 compared to May 2014, Northland saw an increase of 62 sales and Bay of Plenty saw an increase of 53 sales. Compared to April 2015, 11 regions recorded an increase in sales with three regions recording a decrease.

The national median price for lifestyle blocks rose by $32,500 (+6.2%) from $527,500 for the three months to May 2014 to $560,000 for the three months to May 2015, a new record national median price for lifestyle blocks. The median price for lifestyle blocks in Auckland rose

REINZ

by $82,500 (+9.1%) from $902,500 for the three months to May 2014 to $985,000 for the three months to May 2015.

Over the same time period, the median price fell by 2% in Waikato to $485,000 and rose by 3.2% in Canterbury to $562,500. Compared to April 2015, the national median sales price rose by $7,500 (+1.4%).

The median number of days to sell for lifestyle properties improved by eight days, from 74 days for the three months to the end of April to 66 days for the three months to the end of May. Compared to the three months ended May 2014 the median number of days to sell improved by five days.

Auckland recorded the shortest number of days to sell in May 2015 at 44 days, followed by Canterbury at 51 days and Wellington and Waikato at 63 days. Nelson recorded the longest number of days to sell at 123 days, followed by Hawkes Bay at 113 days, and Bay of Plenty at 105 days.

Commenting on the lifestyle property market Brian Peacocke said, “The three months period ending May 2015 was notable for the strong uplift in sales volumes and an incremental increase in prices.”

“A number of regions throughout the North Island featured with solid increases recorded in the Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Taranaki, Manawatu/Wanganui and Hawkes Bay regions. Nelson/Marlborough and Southland were standout areas in the South Island. From a national perspective, the overall level of activity signals a healthy climate in the lifestyle sector.”
