! e l y t s e f i L r o f emand in Canterbury Continues DProperties Every day we tune into further news of the New Zealand residential markets strong growth in the face of the covid-19 storm, our local lifestyle market is not one to buck this trend either.

Listings are around 33% down on what we’d typically expect in the Waimakariri, Hurunui and Selwyn districts at this time of the year, as good quality properties that hit the market are quickly snapped up.

The completion of the arterial motorways has only further enhanced the value of lifestyle properties with improved access to Christchurch City.

The volume of completed lifestyle sales in these Canterbury districts over Greg Roberts Licensed Business Owner Four Seasons Realty 2017 Ltd | Licensed Agent REAA 2008

the last twelve months ending January 2021 is a staggering 25% up on the same period a year ago.

Buyers are coming from many differing sections of the market with City buyers realising the benefits and value in lifestyle properties, Kiwi’s returning from overseas and indeed existing “lifestylers” that are looking for a change.

Contact one of our lifestyle partners for a free appraisal of your lifestyle property, we have buyers looking in all three districts.

This is simply "Mother Nature" at her best; and a real joy to behold.

• This rare slice of real estate is tucked away well off the main road - down its own private drive, and minutes' walk to the town centre.

ivestockunder the microscope Lnumbers The recently released Climate Change Commission Report highlighted that under current government policies, New Zealand will not achieve the Government’s target of being Zero Carbon by 2050.

It also suggests that one of the measures that needs to be taken to reach the emissions targets is to reduce livestock numbers by 15% by 2030.

“Beef and sheep farmers would have reason to feel aggrieved if this was foisted upon them,” according to Guy Trafford, Rural Editor for interest. co.nz, who points out that beef cattle numbers have dropped by 15% since 1991 and sheep by 53%.

Statistics show that beef numbers have flattened over the past 10 years and sheep numbers continue to decline, but dairy cow numbers have nearly doubled in the past three decades.

However even dairy cow numbers have declined by around 6% over the past three years.

If these trends continue, Trafford’s view is that the necessary reductions in livestock numbers may be achieved without too much political intervention. He also notes that New Zealand dairy farmers have been shown to have the lowest rate of carbon emissions of any dairy producers globally.

The draft report is open for consultation until 14 March with the final report to be released on 31 May.

2020 ends on a REINZ data released in January 2021 show that 1,462 farms were sold in the year to December 2020, 15.6% more than were sold in the year to December 2019, with 26.2% more Dairy farms, 9.6% less Grazing farms, 32.0% more Finishing farms and 23.8% less Arable farms sold over the same period.

“Sales figures for the 3-month period ending 31 December 2020 reflect a further consolidation in the results which have been emerging in recent months, with dairy in particular achieving the strongest December since 2017,” says the rural spokesman at REINZ. “As is always the case, climate is the uncontrollable variable, so it was regretful that heavy rain and hail in the South Island in December caused flooding to pastureland and severe damage to horticultural crops in both the Central Otago and Nelson/ Marlborough regions.”

“However, it is an ill wind that blows no good so for many other parts of the country, late spring/early summer rainfall has been an absolute bonus, with numerous farmers heading into one of their better seasons for years.

positive note

“Of particular encouragement is the resilience of the dairy industry with current Global Dairy Trade Auctions being positive enough to encourage Fonterra to increase both its mid-season price and the forecast for the end of season payment – extremely positive for the dairy industry and for the overall economy.” “The flip side of the equation is that schedule prices for beef in particular, and lamb, are being impacted negatively. Returns for both products are under pressure due to the mix of supply chain issues and the temperamental nature of the EEC and the Chinese markets, to the extent that margins for spring-purchased cattle are likely to be quite thin.”

“Those issues, COVID-19 and the shortage of labour aside, the rural economy appears to be in reasonable heart,” he concludes. 8,887 lifestyle properties were sold in the year to December 2020, 1,828 (25.9%) more than were sold in the year to December 2019. The value of lifestyle properties sold was $8.15 billion for the year to December 2020.
