A NOTE FROM THE

DIRECTOR

I have never experienced a home game in NZ where the visiting team (Philippines) were cheered for louder than the home squad, it reminded me of the first breakers NBL finals. In other celebrations, at our Harcourts Regional Awards, our very own Jenna Glatt received the Rising Star Award - highly deserved given her dedication since joining the team back in lock down 2021! Forever learning, we attended our National Harcourts Leadership Conference, hearing from fantastic speakers and learning new initiatives for keeping us one step ahead, and in addition we had Mike Green, our Executive Director at Harcourts International Ltd come in for a mentoring session with the team! Our agent, Glen Foster has been out in the market representing Harcourts Twentythree with a stunning Grand Designs property at Piha.

On the market activity front, Tony Alexander said one thing in his recent article that has sat with me; “the buyers are still there and are waiting in the shadows” - this remains in my mind. We are still working extremely closely with buyers and sellers, even when they are under contract to get deals across the line, but activity is returning and it may be undulating, but I am expecting a steady finish as we head into spring.

ONE TEAMgotWE’VE THIS!

Another month in the books for the team here at Twentythree, and after an auction packed last couple of months, a group of us took a deserved break to take in the atmosphere at Eventfinder Stadium (aka The North Shore Event Centre for all those Breakers Stalwarts).

TAILORED MARKETING CAMPAIGN

The strategy is all encompassing and gives us the opportunity to tap into every possible buyer (passive or active) that is available at this point in time.

When the property goes live in the Harcourts domain, this is broadcasted via e marketing to the network of agents who in turn release the property to their own databases of buyers. We also have an active database of qualified buyers who are in the market right now.

2. Determine how interest rate increases impact you Now that you know how your home loan is structured, your mortgage adviser can help you determine the impact any interest rate rises will have on your home loan repayments. You can also use a home loan repayment calculator –what your repayments are going to look like. If your fixed rate term is nearing the end, now is a good time to discuss with your mortgage adviser locking in an interest rate. It’s also worthwhile comparing how your interest rates stack up market, and this is something else your mortgage adviser can help you with.

Activity returns! Over the last three weeks we have seen an uptick in number of attendees at our open homes. These have quite literally reached double figures across our campaigns on average, this has lead to strong buyer engagement with offers coming in thick and fast as the buyers in the market have finally seen some competition back in the 1 & 2 year fixed rates. For the right property, buyers are also getting in position to attend auctions again. I still think if you’re going to get a surprise, auction is still the environment for this to happen.

• Gives you the confidence to be countercyclical and make smart decisions while others ‘wait for a better time’

• Is not new and has withstood the test of time

For example, if inflation is 10% in a year and property prices rise by 5% then the ‘real’ price is deemed to have fallen by 5% in that year. Yes, that’s right, ‘real’ prices are deemed to have fallen even though ‘nominal’ prices rose by 5%.

• Reveals why many people fail to buy property during some of the very best times to buy

How can that possibly be you ask? Simple. It comes down to terminology. There are two terms used to describe property price growth in economic terms. One of them is known as the ‘real’ price of properties and the other is known as ‘nominal’. It is true that between 1975 and 1981 ‘real’ property prices fell by 37% but in ‘nominal’ terms they rose by 40%. Unless you are an economist, or are familiar with economic terminology, the use of the word ‘real’ in this case is quite misleading. That’s because you could logically think that ‘real’ means the actual dollar price of a property, but it does not. The term ‘real’ in this context takes into account the rate of inflation i.e. it deducts the rate of inflation from property price growth. On the other hand, the actual dollar price of a property is referred to as a “nominal” price.

Unbeknown to many, this secret has quietly been benefiting property owners for many years —even in an apparently falling market. An example of how this secret benefits property owners but is unknown to many is the pervasive myth circulating that in the late 1970’s the property market experienced a price crash. A crash apparently on a scale not seen before in recorded history, at least not by anyone too young to remember the Great Depression of the 1930s. You may have heard this myth which says that property prices fell by 37% between 1975 and 1981 but what if I told you there was no bust or crash in the price of properties? In fact property prices did not fall at that time but rose by 40%.

The 1970’s was an era of high double digit inflation, and at that time it was common knowledge that inflation was beneficial to property prices. Property came to be regarded as ‘inflation proof’, meaning prices would rise by some or all of the rate of inflation in time. So the property secret is inflation. Inflation underpins property prices. Why? Because when the replacement (or new) cost to build property rises due to increases in the costs of materials and labour then property prices must also rise. Inflation can take time to trickle down and influence property prices but it always does in the end, sooner or later. KIERAN’S

As a seller, it is key you find an agent that you know is in the market, knows the stats and can put in the work to achieve results. This market is more about the agents putting in the work, getting out there and finding the buyer, rather than the buyer finding the property.

Getting a pre approval

Buying a first home is an exciting time, but it can also feel bewildering, complicated, and even a little scary.

Budgeting may not be a fun task, but it’s an important one. Especially for first home buyers. That’s because lenders want to see, first and foremost, that you can afford to repay your home loan. They do that by scrutinising your income and your expenditure. So as much as possible, you’ll want to show that your income outweighs your spending,and that you have enough leftover every month to cover the extra cost of your mortgage.

Scenario 1: Selling a tenanted property and the purchaser takes over as landlord. The landlord sells the property to a purchaser who continues to rent the property to the existing tenants. The purchaser then takes over the tenancy as the new landlord. The conditions of the tenancy are not affected in this scenario. Note that without vacant possession being part of the unconditional agreement, the purchaser may not be entitled to a pre-settlement inspection. Selling a property can be stressful, and perhaps even more so when there is little benefit for the tenant due to the uncertainty that a potential sale provides. Communication and negotiation with the tenants are important factors to facilitate a successful sale and reasonable access to the prop erty. Once everyone has agreed to a schedule of access and what type of access is agreed to, it is recom mended that this is put in writing and signed by everyone involved. There are three different scenarios that could apply when a landlord sells a tenanted property.
