Welcome to the April edition of the Ross Hawkins Property Portfolio.

It’s hard to believe the contrast in market conditions from the highs we experienced post Covid in both activity and value. With many record sales being achieved across all market segments just two years ago, we now find ourselves in a stand off when it comes to sales volumes and a rapid increase in stock levels due to many factors

The higher level of interest rates and the increase costs of living are staying around longer than most thought, putting pressure on home owners across the board

This has resulted in a buyers market with volumes of stock currently hitting the market at levels not experienced for many years If you have been waiting to purchase property and are in a position to do so ,now is your time to take advantage of this market

There are deals being done although the volumes are down as many vendors are still not accepting the reduced values the buyers are prepared to pay currently

The transactions taking place are generally those where vendors are meeting the market or properties which have an X factor and unique qualities you can’t necessarily purchase down the road

Creative marketing and having your property stand out in the market place has become even more important than ever and also selecting the right agent who has a track record of results in harder markets in the past

Ross consistently sits in the top 1% of agents in the real estate market in New Zealand and continues to deliver outstanding results for his clients.

If you are looking to make a move either purchasing or selling in the weeks and months ahead ,call him and his team for a no obligation assessment of your home or to discuss the options available to you currently.

The RBNZ has now made it clear they're looking to hold the OCR at 5.50% in order to battle 'persistent inflation' in the April Monetary Policy Review

They have advised that their restrictive monetary policy stance remains necessary to further reduce capacity pressures and inflation. This suppressive approach will hopefully allow consumer price inflation to fall within the target range of 1% - 3% this calendar year

Though the 2008 GFC may not be a direct comparison it does provide some good insight as to how we can try and forecast future rates When the OCR was cut from its peak at 8 25% in June 2008 to 2 50% in April 2009, Swap Rates aligned with the downward movement In the same notion, when the OCR is forecasted to start reducing from Q1 2025 per the RBNZ's Forecasts,

Swap Rates will hopefully start the downward continuum As our former Prime Minister, John Key said "Never waste a good crisis."

$1 trillion bill to bring NZ up to scratch: Agent’s warning on infrastructure ‘nightmare’

“It’s putting people off building new homes.”

Poor and overloaded infrastructure is holding back development in Auckland, leading real estate agents have warned, with one saying “it’s a nightmare”.

Ray White Epsom agent Ross Hawkins said infrastructure – that’s anything from drains and sewers to roading, medical services and schools to cater for extra people in an area – needed to be updated and upgraded before sites can realise their potential.

As more density was added by way of housing and people, it would take a huge investment to get the city, and country, out of the mess it was in, he said. Hawkins was recently in Hong Kong, and noted the multiple bridges across the harbour and tunnels underneath. He said eight million people live in a tiny area but have motorways and trains that flow with no queues. He conceded the bigger population in Hong Kong meant more money to spend on infrastructure, and reckoned when the City Rail Link in Auckland was completed the way people lived in the CBD would change, but that was still some way off.

The Government has put light rail on hold, but the City Rail Link, a 3 45km underground rail link, is continuing, with 2026 a tentative date for commuter use

But Hawkins questioned the time taken to get projects across the line in New Zealand “Every time you go to Hong Kong, there’s a new bridge and another tunnel They just do stuff – they work 24/7 and they just do these projects ”

New Zealand was capable of moving faster, with Hawkins citing the relatively quick repair of the bridge to the Coromandel after Cyclone Gabriel, but he believed much more was needed and fast

There were many houses on cliffs around Auckland still waiting for council consents for owners to be able to rectify what happened over a year ago, with Hawkins describing the Resource Management Act system as “archaic”

“It just costs people a fortune to do and the unknowns of it, it’s affecting people’s lives It’s so wrong ”

While the Government had promised to reform the consenting process, Hawkins said nothing happened quickly. “It’s not just Auckland either but the whole country, the whole consenting problem. It’s putting people off building new homes and doing major renovations now because it’s just so stressful and so timeconsuming and so costly to do it,” he said.

“You’re better to buy a house that’s already done and just get on with life rather than having to go through tearing your hair out and trying to get things done and all the consultants that are feeding from the trough costing you tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of dollars before you even start any work.”

Westpac said 125,000 more houses were needed over the next few years, but chief economist Kelly Eckhold said it was unlikely that many would be built, and that population growth pressures meant there would also need to be more roads, schools, hospitals and government services

“That’s one of the reasons why we can understand the Government is faced with some pretty tough fiscal choices right now, because it’s hard to significantly reduce capital spending at a time where the population is growing and the demand for services is growing ”

Ray White agent Ross Hawkins: "It’s putting people off building new homes and doing major renovations now because it’s just so stressful and so time-consuming."

According to a recent ASB report, the country faces a $1 trillion bill over 30 years to bring infrastructure up to scratch and to future-proof

“The country’s population is expected to be anywhere from 500,000 to two million people higher in 30 years, which would require an additional 175,000 to 700,000 dwellings and associated infrastructure,” the report said Professor John Tookey, from AUT’s School of Future Environments, said progress had been made in infrastructure but the process was incremental

Infrastructure was a complex problem with lots of moving parts: “You don’t just wave a magic wand and where one day there was nothing the next day we’ve got lots – it doesn’t work that way ”

Hawkins praises the speed at which infrastructure projects are completed in Hong Kong. Photo / Getty Images

The fundamental problem is New Zealand is a small country with large communication distances, which means horizontal infrastructure – things like sewers and trains – is much more expensive per metre than pretty much anywhere else in the world

“That’s where the bulk of the infrastructural costs come in because we have such a small population spread over a very large country ”

At roughly 5 3 million people, New Zealand’s population is similar to Sydney’s but where Sydney’s five or so million people are spread over 13,000 square kilometres, New Zealanders are spread over about 164,000 or 165,000 square kilometres, he said The push is on for density, especially in Auckland, but there are benefits and downsides of density when it comes to infrastructure

When more people are concentrated into an area, more can use single pieces of shorter infrastructure, but that also means the existing stormwater management systems, drainage and sewerage, and so on, become clogged

“If we put another 100,000/300,000/400,000 more people as they arrive into Auckland and we build them houses and so on, we’ve got to now get a vastly increased amount of sewage and stormwater run off and all the other things down the same pipes we have always used.”

Auckland is a city that has spread out over 150 years as people left congested European cities and pursued the old quarteracre section dream, but that lateral expansion has led to “phenomenal” inefficiency in terms of space utilisation.

Tookey said if Auckland was Mumbai, 38 million people would live in the city: “That’s the degree of lack of densification, that’s the degree of lack of utilisation that we have in our largest metropolitan city.”

Mumbai can handle the investment in mass transportation systems, for example, with so many people but Kiwis have “sky high” expectations and want everything, including new stadiums.

“We have first-world expectations at every level and yet we don’t necessarily make the necessary investments – we are at the bottom end of the OECD investment index associated with infrastructure.”

Another big element in the infrastructure conundrum was the onward march of technology, Tookey said For example, just 20 years ago billions of dollars were invested worldwide into putting ethernet cables in office buildings but now they were hardly used Trying to keep up with technology, combined with three-year electoral cycles, means getting anything done was “monumentally” difficult and expensive A case in point was the continual parking of a second Auckland harbour crossing, and Tookey predicted the harbour bridge would be out of service in 20 years for structural reasons with potentially nothing there to replace it Bridged Article from OneRoof Catherine

OneRoof - ‘Does your budget cover it?’ The elite agents who are upfront about the price of Kiwi mansions

Price indications on expensive homes are becoming increasingly common in NZ

Does a price tag on an expensive house make it easier to sell? Or are vendors selling themselves short by showing their hand early?

Agents who are in the business of selling trophy homes for $10 million and more seem to be split on the issue of guide prices. In Australia, it’s unusual to find price indications on prestige listings, but in New Zealand, the rule is you don’t talk price with potential buyers until they’re committed.

“Buyers at this level don’t want the publicity, they don’t want people to see them When they find something they like, they want to buy it.”

Ray White Epsom agent Ross Hawkins agrees. “If it’s not an auction, then you need to have a price indication on it,” he said “This is now becoming more common and is a breath of fresh air for the market to know just where they need to be ”

Hawkins said that he was more likely to get calls from interested buyers once they knew what the price expectations were “It’s more important than ever to give a guide on price in this market due to higher stock levels and lower buyer numbers,” he said, adding that for buyers who were shopping around and comparing value propositions, a competitive price guide gave a property the edge.

“There are so many listings with no price indication, no one knows where they stand.” He added: “CVs are more irrelevant than ever They are all over the place and are purely a desktop exercise They don’t compare apples with apples and they don’t take recent renovations or views or any X factor qualities into consideration ”

Hawkins has a range of listings that have been priced.

At the top end and priced at $20m, is a five-bedroom luxury home designed by architects Warren & Mahoney. The property at 340H Pahoia Road, in Whakamarama, sits on nearly 5.7 hectares of headland and includes a waterfront boathouse, swimming pool, tennis court, putting green, landscaped gardens and a sculpture court.

At the other end of the scale, he has a two-bedroom home at 3/6 Prebble Place, in Auckland's Mission Bay, which has a price tag of $1.095m.

Hawkins' listing at 340H Pahoia Road, Whakamarama, in Western Bay Of Plenty, has an asking price of $20m.

The penthouse suite of 119 St Stephens Avenue, in Parnell, is seeking $4 95m

He is particularly keen for buyers to understand the value of new-build apartments and townhouses

“A brand-new apartment like the Edition, in Parnell, would likely cost more to build now than the asking price The main structure was built before all the construction price rises, you could not deliver this product now for any new builds at anywhere near this price,” he said

Similarly, putting an asking price of $4.95m on the penthouse floor of 119 St Stephens Avenue, in Parnell, on the market for the first time in 35 years, showed the value of an established property.

Stuff: Do I really need an open home to sell my house?

So, you’ve decided to put your house on the market. You’ve given the old place a refresh, and put your personal things away. You even had a stager in to help you make the most of your décor. Now it’s time to unleash your pride and joy on the market.

But, as a former-house hunter yourself, there’s one thing that’s giving you pause: open homes

The thought of all those shoeless feet traipsing round your house Strangers - or worse yet, the neighbours - peering through your cupboards, wandering in and out of your bedroom, turning on your shower - it leaves you cold

Will they all adhere to open home etiquette? Do you even need to host an open home to sell your house?

"People at the higher end are generally quite private, they don't want the whole street coming to look at their property. They want well qualified buyers, so we're not wasting everybody's time,“ says Ray White Black Group agent Ross Hawkins.

He has just recently launched Pahoia Point, a stunning Warren and Mahoney designed sea-side mansion at Whakamarama, in the Western Bay Of Plenty, on the market for $20 million.

The owners have said a firm no to open homes Part of the reason is the home’s location, in a private, gated community, about half an hour north of Tauranga

Another is that Pahoia Point houses the vendor’s extensive collection of contemporary New Zealand art, including a Bill Hammond painting worth north of $1m, and a sculpture by the late Paul Dibble, that it is thought has tripled in value since the artist died in 2023

For homes worth in excess of $20m, vendors expect agents to be working their databases of qualifiedmeaning cashed up - buyers Hawkins, who’s been selling in this market for 20 years, says his list tops out at 20,000 names

He’ll reach out to those he knows are looking for properties like Pahoia Point to line up private viewings, either one-by-one, or back-to-back on a single day, to minimise the intrusion on the vendor’s time.

"If something special comes on the market, human nature says that everybody wants to go and have a look. That's not what most of our vendors want."

The Bill Hammond painting hanging in one of the reception rooms of Pahoia Point is part of the reason the vendors would rather not have an open home.

Pahoia Point is a prime example of the kind of home that doesn’t need (and the vendors don’t want) an open home
