How time flies! It since Stan and Maureen Hickford opened the Harcourts Riverlands office in the Main Street of Huntly in 1993. They started off with a small team of four and watched as the company grew to encompass a much larger team and another office in Te Kauwhata in 2008. I joined the Riverlands team in 2001, fresh faced and eager to learn about all things real estate. I had a young family and my husband John supported me with this new career change. Time went on, I learned a lot and in 2008 John and I bought into the franchise with complete ownership transferring in 2012 less! Stan stayed on as Rural and Commercial Manager and encouragedusasthewecontinuedtogrowourRiverlandsteam.
Since 1993, there have been many changes in both technology and the real estate market but we have always embraced these changes. We have adapted our business to meet the cycles of the market and adopted new technologies as they become available to enhance our offerings toourclients andcustomers.Weareincrediblyproudofour teams, encouraging them through further education and providing the resources to support them as they adapt to the many changes in the industry and legislation. They are always willing to learn and in a testament to their dedication, Riverlands received the Rate My Agent Agency of the Year (2023) award and our strong property management team were the first property managers in New Zealand tobecomeREINZAccreditedPropertyManagers.
Riverlandsmaybearelatively smallcompanybutwearestillhere,30 years later, and have built strong ties within the communities. We appreciate all the support we have had and give back to the community whenever we can. We love our towns and have enjoyed 30 years of memories with the community that has welcomed Riverlandsintotheirhomes.
To Huntly and Te Kauwhata, from our family to yours lettingusbetheteambehindyourplace.

Recent data from CoreLogic suggests New Zealand’s property market upturn is strengthening, with the growing number of buyers returning to the market expected to place upward pressure on property prices in the coming months. As younger first home buyerstake advantage of lower house prices, higher savedupdeposits,goodjobsecurityandwages,andtherecent easingoflendingconditions,thistrendislikelytocontinue.
Buyersreturningtomarket
CoreLogic NZ’s Monthly Housing Chart Pack, which is measured across agent deals and private sales activity, shows a second consecutive month of improved activity, a strong indicator that property sales volumes have reached their lowest point before beginningtorise.
CoreLogic NZ Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson said, “It’s important to note that this increase has started from a low base, but as pent-up demand startsto emerge it’s likely we’ll see moreincreasesinsalesactivityintheremainderof2023.”
Theincreaseinsalesvolumesreflectstheongoingstrengthofthe job market, higher net migration, the recent easing of credit rules,andatentativeimprovementinhousebuyerconfidence.
New listings remain sluggish, well-below the previous 5-year average, and the upturn in sales figures is placing some upward pressureonhousepricesinareassuchasAuckland,BayofPlenty andWellington,ascompetitionreturnstothemarket.
“The flow of new listings coming onto the market each week has remained sluggish month-to-month, as would-be vendors choose to ‘wait and see’, given the uncertainty about how long a sale might take and/or the potential price achieved,” Davidson said.
“Arguably it remains a ‘buyer’s market’, with the national total stockoflistingsonthemarketstillrelativelyhigh.However,there is also a downwards trend now evident for stock levels too, whichmaystarttocontributetocompetitivepricepressures.”
“Theendofthedownturndoesn’tnecessarilymeanthemarketis destinedforasharprebound,”saidDavidson.
“Housing affordability is still stretched, and caps on debt-toincome ratios loom large in 2024. The second halfof the year still looks likely to hold some kind of housing market upturn – which willbegoodorbad,dependingonyourperspective.”
Economist Tony Alexander’s Real Estate survey for August 2023 aligns with the trends reflected in CoreLogic’s analysis, as real estate agents report higher attendance at open homes and more people at auctions with more buyers taking advantage of housepricesbottomingout.
The survey results also show more real estate agents are seeing FOMO (fear of missing out) return to buyers, while FOOP (fear of overpaying) is no longer a major consideration. Alexander said, “Nowaycanoneclaimthatthemarketisonceagaininafrenzied state, but the direction of change for this measure as for all othersinthissurveyisclear.”
While investor interest appears to be unchanged, the return of firsthomebuyers hasbeenreportedbyclosetotwothirdsofreal estate agents surveyed, with the driving force behind this upturn linkedtolowerhouseprices,highersavedupdeposits,betterjob security,andtherecenteasinginlendingconditions.
