Market appraisals So you’re thinking about selling your home? Great.

Let’s be 100 per cent clear here.

When a real estate agent prepares a market appraisal, it is intended to provide a comparison of properties which have recently sold and those currently on the market with the subject property and does not purport to be a registered valuation.

While all care is taken when conducting a comparative market appraisal (CMA), it does appear that the preparation methods vary greatly. It has been noted that appraisals are being completed without anyone visiting the home, or the agent is turning up to view the property for the first time with an already completed CMA ready to present.

Without first turning up to inspect the property, how could the agent know if the $25,000 you’ve recently spent on a new kitchen was a good investment or not?

is appraising your home has taken time to consider the implications of rushing their report in order to secure a listing. Not only is it a matter of integrity, but the appraisal is a legal requirement when obtaining an agency on a property.

One the first things you will need to identify in order to know exactly where you stand, is the value of your property. You will need an appraisal.

Brad Wallis Or perhaps you just installed a new ducted heat pump system.

Or maybe the property has deteriorated significantly and requires a substantial investment in order to bring it up to scratch.

You would be hard-pressed to argue that any of the above scenarios would not alter the appraised value!

This is a very important piece of information whereby many vendors will make pricing decisions based on the agent’s appraised value.

For this reason, you would expect that the professional who

P.A.

Your agent must be able to use comparable properties to justify their appraised value. The exception to this rule is if your property is particularly unique and very few comparisons exist. In which case your agent is obliged to inform you of this fact.

To be brief, an appraisal of your home should be free of cost and free of obligation.

The agent should demonstrate their knowledge of the local market and of properties comparable to yours.

And remember at the end of the day the appraisal is intended to be an informed opinion of current market values.

The final decision on price rests with you, the vendor. Should you wish to see where your property sits in the current market, please don’t hesitate to contact a local real estate salesperson.

Do New Zealanders still want the quarter-acre dream?

The quarter-acre dream may still be alive and well in areas like Mid Canterbury, but in a day where housing levels reach critical levels in some cities, it’s no longer every Kiwi’s ideal.

New Zealanders are moving towards the idea of mixed-use development where housing is within walking and cycling distance of key amenities like work, school or shopping, according to a recent survey carried out by the New Zealand Centre for Sustainable Cities.

“Many New Zealanders would still like a large, stand-alone house. But that view changes when people are asked to think about distance from the city/town centre,” says Anna Hamer-Adams, assistant research fellow at the University of Otago, Wellington.

The New Zealand Centre for Sustainable Cities released the survey on people’s sentiments about cities. They surveyed 3080 New Zealanders in a Horizon Poll to find out opinions and preferences for urban environments, including the types and locations of housing, transport options and planning regulations.

Not all respondents favoured the quarter-acre dream, according to Anna Hamer-Adams and co-author Ed Randal, also from University of Otago, Wellington.

More respondents (37 per cent) than not (32 per cent) were in favour of having a quality, compact city vision for their own city, similar

to the Auckland plan. Auckland and Wellington respondents in particular were more comfortable with intensification in their neighbourhoods than other New Zealanders. Those under-25 and over 65 years old were more likely to prefer a smaller house, townhouse or apartment in the city/town centre than other age groups.

MAKE A COMMITMENT TO PROTECT WHAT MATTERS

“Most respondents said that councils, which represented residents, should have the key role in defining the limits and form of the city, as opposed to market forces,” Hamer-Adams said.

New Zealanders also generally saw the need for sustainability.

The majority (60 per cent) agreed policies were urgently needed to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and most (49 per cent) felt urban limits were necessary so that cities developed more sustainably.

This survey formed a chapter of the Drivers of Urban Change report which was part of the Resilient Urban Futures programme funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Gardening

August is a good time to...

Apply mulch around your perennials before the leaves start to shoot.

And remember when they shoot in spring to lay slug and snail bait early, otherwise your lovely leaves will be covered in holes!

Plant new brassicas (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage etc) for harvesting in summer and new season potatoes, yams and kumaras for enjoying at Christmas.

Grow lettuce, peas, broad beans, silverbeet, beetroot and new season rhubarb. But before you do, dig over the garden and add some NPK fertiliser and a bit of mulch to give the soil a boost.

When the weather starts to warm up – hopefully at the end of the month - you can start to plant carrots and radish.

Brighten up your flowerbeds by growing pansy, viola, stock and lobelia seedlings. Or try planting

Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries perennials like new season lavender, peony roses or hosts.

It’s also a good time to plant fruit trees.

If you’re keen to freshen up your backyard with some nice smart lawn, now’s the time to prepare the soil. Give it a good rake, level it off and get ready to apply your grass seed and fertisliser. How do you know when to do this? Once the soil temperature has started rising, that’s

the time to apply your grass seed.

And, how do you know when the soil temperature is rising? That’s easy when you find you’re mowing your lawns more often than not - the soil temperature has increased.

If you live in the colder parts of the country, you should be finishing off

your rose pruning around now.

And, lastly, check for aphids on everything, but particularly new shoots on your roses.

If you spot aphids on your plants simply hose them off with a strong stream of water and spray the plant with Neem, organic oil.

Stop slugs in their slime Forget about slug bait let me introduce … beer bait!

Simply, cut the top off an empty fizzy drink bottle, leaving approximately 10cm of plastic from the lid. Make sure the lid is tightly screwed on.

Make a hole next to your lettuces large enough for the whole bottle neck to fit into. The open end of your plastic bottle should sit almost parallel with the soil.

Place three sticks approximately 15cm in height around your plastic bottle in the shape of a teepee.

Fill your bottle up to the halfway mark with beer (slugs aren’t fussy about the type of beer, but kids

make sure you ask your parents first).

To ensure that the beer is protected from rain, take the discarded end of your plastic fizzy drink bottle and cut off a section approximately 5cm from the end.

Balance this section on the three sticks you staked earlier. This will create a lid to protect the beer against rain.

Now all you have to do is sit back and wait. Overnight the slugs will slide their way into the beer.

And don’t just stop with one beer bait bottle, make several and place them around your slug susceptible veges. Believe me you’ll be amazed by the results.
