INDUSTRY COMMENT

Research, research, research!

Before making any property decision, whether it be buying or selling, it is prudent to do your research. There are plenty of great online tools that have centralised lots of different information streams, which make it really easy to get instant information on a particular property. Previously, the data that is now available was either hidden from the public, difficult to find, or only small parts were available and a number of different sources would need to be searched, which proved to be very time consuming.

Homes.co.nz is a fairly new site. This

There are two sites in particular that are doing a good job of providing property information to the kiwi public. Trade Me Property Insights and Homes.co.nz.

Trade Me is a trusted brand in NZ and to most real estate agents, listing properties on this site is a fundamental part of any marketing package to ensure the greatest reach. Recently Trade Me added a new function to their property website called Property Insights and the Trade Me Property Estimate. This free resource gathers information primarily from council records including RVs, historical sales data and property details/attributes.

It then uses its own algorithm to give an estimated value on what the target property is likely to sell for. A helpful tool from the ever-popular Trade Me family.

their estimated value takes into account the opinion of professional advisers.

Thanks in part, to the functions available to home owners, the Homes value estimate is also very accurate. Their website shows statistics on just how accurate they are and what percentage of properties fall within their estimated range. Head to homes. co.nz to see for yourself.

website exists to help Kiwis make better property decisions. Like Trade Me, it puts council data through an algorithm to give a property estimate. The advantage the Homes model has over Trade Me is that it allows home owners the opportunity to alter any information that may not be correct. Home owners can create a user profile and claim any property that they own. From here, the user can correct errors or add any missing information.

There is also a section where homeowners and real estate agents can upload any appraisals or registered valuations for the subject property. The Homes team will then take this information to ensure that

Both sites make it abundantly clear that they provide an estimate only and the best way to get an accurate assessment of the value of your home is to speak with a registered valuer or local real estate agent.

As always, the Bayleys Ashburton team are available to provide an appraisal of your home – free of charge and free from obligation. Get in touch today.

March is a good time to...

Henri Ham

Awapuni Nurseries

Start growing leeks and spinach. Leeks require a little bit of extra effort but they’re well worth it in the end. And spinach is perfect to plant amongst your leek seedlings because you’ll harvest it before the leeks need the space. Spinach is a fantastic plant. Slugs don’t like it, you can eat it when it’s young or old, it grows in dry and wet and just about all year round, and it’s perfect for quiches and salads. You just need to make sure you eat it before it goes to seed.

If you want winter veges like broccoli

and cauliflower, to be ready to eat in winter, plant them towards the end of March while the weather and soil is still warm enough to give them a kick start. If you wait till May you’ll end up with broccoli in spring when you might be more interested in eating veges like lettuce. March is also a great time to plant beetroot.

Harvest, harvest, harvest. Don’t forget the last of your runner beans. And remember to keep watering your garden regularly.

Topp Twins - Heading for the Hills

The Nukes (Arts on Tour NZ)

The Nukes (Dave Parker, David Thile and Benjamin Collier) from West Auckland are far more than a ukulele band. Part vaudeville, part rat-pack, part musical car crash, this talented trio deliver an engaging mix of humour and originality that audiences of all ages will love.

The sharp-tongued Chuck Wood and loveable Ted E. Bare have been thrust into the world of social media, constantly on their iPads and iPhones, not interacting with the real world. With everyone connected to social media and the internet 24/7, will Strassman get them back under control?

New Zealand’s well-loved national treasures are hitting the road on April’s Fools Day bringing their original style of merriment, mayhem and mirth to the regions. The country’s hills will be alive with the sound of laughter!

Sat 8pm / Tickets Adults $69.95 | Senior/ Students $64.50 (fees apply)
