What a funny summer, one minute it’s boiling hot and you’re looking for a cold refreshment, the next day you’re looking for a jacket and a hot drink. Real estate can be a bit like the weather, hot and cold, but at the moment we are settling in to a nice warm period.

good agent they will do a submission free of charge.

Sitting back and taking an overview of the market at the moment I’m finding the homes that are priced correctly are selling. The ones that are not are sitting and not selling.

With the internet, real estate papers, open homes, websites like Trademe and Realestate.co, the purchaser as well as yourself have good knowledge of the market and value.

If you price yourself off the market right from the start seven weeks later the home becomes dull. Worst case is you end up repricing and still no interest, you then run the risk of accepting a let’s get the hell out of here price which is normally less than what you actually thought the home was worth in the first place.

It will contain things such as how the market is tracking, recent sales in your area and what’s on the market similar to yours.

They will work out from statistics where your house sits in the market place; they will even give you tips of things you need to do to prepare your home for market. All of this is part of their service.

The easiest thing for an agent with not a lot of listings is to overprice, this is called buying the listing. It’s only human nature if an agent dollars tells you your home is thirty thousand more than anyone else’s is to choose to run with them.

The risk here is if you are too far above the

Remember my number one tip, price it right and you can move on. Price it wrong and you will be singing sad songs.

Enjoy autumn; summer hasn’t been too bad as I’ve played summer bowls with my best mate Norm and some great new mates at the Allenton Bowling Club. Only 276 days until Christmas so happy selling!

So I guess what I’m saying is people believe in location location location, I believe in getting the price right. Get yourself a

A la mode alfresco and is translated as a place that leads outdoors. Where a patio is usually a spacious entertaining area, a verandah is a long and narrow structure, which can be located around a large proportion of the home.

A pergola can often be freestanding, situated in the back of a yard, or as a central focal piece. They can be an area used for outdoor entertaining, but serve mostly an ornamental function. They are usually constructed from wood, adding natural aesthetic appeal.

A pergola can be attached to a home, and often a patio and a pergola can be combined. The pergola section will usually be open, with climbing plants growing over the beams, and is an effective way to showcase a garden at the end of a patio.

The word Verandah comes from India,

The option which will best suit your needs will come down to purpose, whether you intend on using the space frequently for entertaining, or if you are looking for a private and relaxing retreat for yourself.

When it comes to furnishing your outdoor entertainment area, quality is key.

With harsh weather extremes, a quality set

of outdoor furniture can last in excess of 10 years, however a cheaper imitation set may not see you through the season.

Teak and wicker outdoor furniture make a functional and attractive combination.

When put together, these two all-weather materials create some of the most hardwearing and visually appealing patio furniture.

Whether you want an extension to your home or a freestanding style structure, these shade solutions can give you a viable and attractive way to improve your outdoor space, while increasing the value of your home.

FEATURED HOME

Bruce family enjoying their dream home There is no need to get away from it all for Paul and Jane Bruce. The Highbank couple have built on their farm on the banks of the Rakaia River, in one of the most tranquil places in Mid Canterbury.

The property at the end of a shingle road is on the way to a picturesque river fishing spot.

“It’s like a different world down here,” Jane said.

Building was something they had been contemplating for 20 years.

“We bought the farm and it had no house on it, so at some stage we needed to build,” Jane said.

Two decades and three children later they decided to convert a six-bay farm shed on the property to their home.

Joseph Builders started on the project in February, and the family moved in in September.

The architect-designed four-bedroom corrugated iron home retains aspects of the original structure, with poles and a high pitched ceiling being part of the design.

Large glass stacker doors access a patio from the lounge room and bedrooms.

“We lived in so many old houses that were cold, we wanted a house that was going to trap all the sun and get the view,” Jane said.

A large log burner will ensure efficient heating in winter, and a wetback will come in handy in case of snow or wind cutting the power.

The 230 square metre home is cladin corrugated iron and dark grey on the exterior, ensuring it blends into the landscape.

Space has been well partitioned with a wide hallway, large bathroom and laundry, and plenty of storage.

Neutral and natural palettes add to the sense of space. The kitchen has a fresh neutral palette, its composite hard surface being off-while with grey flecks. The carpet is grey, and the walls a pale grey, while laminate in the hard floor areas has a grey wood finish. In every way, the Bruces’ property is their dream home.

“We love it, we are here for the rest of our lives.”
