A WORD FROM OUR SALES MANAGER

ANNALISE JOHNSEN August saw a rapid change in our market. We noticed the absence of Aucklanders once they closed the doors to them traveling. As a favourite weekend location, there was a calm serene feeling across our town and within the business community. This did not deter the team and we continued with our traction and listings have steadily kept coming. The number of people reassessing their property journeys continued to climb and the buyers, although we have missed our Kiwi holidaymakers, were still acting with urgency and property solutions were being found.

Even though rates are low, and finance is available, it appears to us, banks are being extraordinarily risk-averse.

As a result, we have been more involved with our sellers dealing with issues that probably in the past would have been less of a concern.

Top tips for selling your home in spring As we move out of the cold and dark winter season, it’s never been a better time to start looking at some home improvements. Spring is the busiest of seasons in the real estate market and if you have you been thinking of selling your house, here are our top tips for being sale ready.

1

Find a sales consultant.

2

Request an appraisal.

3

Make sure your lawns, garden and outdoor areas and clean and tidy.

Write a shortlist of sales consultants that you believe are a good match for you and your property. You can search our team here to read their profiles and see who suits your needs most.

It’s free and no-obligation and also an opportunity for the sales consultant to highlight jobs you should look to complete before sale, along with other helpful tips and tricks to assist.

This is your first impression to potential buyers. Unruly lawns, overgrown trees, and rubbish should be tackled early and kept manicured regularly.

4

Ready for that open home?

Recent activity has seen high numbers of traffic through our open homes so ensure you clean and tidy the inside of your home thoroughly as its likely that potential buyers will look through every nook and cranny.

5

One word –‘Declutter’.

6

Don’t over capitalise.

Lots of things everywhere can make your home look cramped and its quite easy for a buyer to concentrate on the clutter and not the amazing space they could have to work with if they were to purchase your home.

It might seem like a good idea to spend money on the house pre-sale, but be strategic. Many things cost next to nothing to do and are simple fixes. Talk to your sales consultant for assistance on what you should concentrate on to help achieve a better result.

Want to know what your home is worth and get some helpful tips on selling from one of the team? It’s a good time to talk to us, as ‘We are putting our money where your house is’ with amazing spring offers.

Handy tips when buying your new home If you’re buying a house, whether it’s for the first time or the third time, this checklist will come in handy.

Set a budget

Find a solicitor

First, talk to your bank or mortgage broker regarding your finances and determine how much you can borrow and have to spend on a property.

Ask friends or colleagues to recommend a solicitor. Some solicitors have a set fee for conveyancing and some charge by the hour.

Prepare a list of needs and wants Bearing in mind your budget:

Write a property checklist When you are out looking at open homes, or viewing a property with a sales consultant, be sure to check the following:

•

Where do you want to live?

•

How close do you need to be to services such as supermarkets?

•

Size of living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and storage. Also check outside areas.

•

Consider which schools you are interested in – some may be zoned

•

•

What style of house would you like?

•

How many bedrooms/ bathrooms would you like?

What condition is the property in? Is it sound and is there anything that needs to be done to it? If so, what are the likely costs?

•

•

Do you need a big section?

Do you need any specialist reports such as a building report?

•

What is the water pressure like? Be sure to turn the taps on in the kitchen and the shower to check.

•

Is the home insulated – walls, ceiling or both?

•

Which chattels remain with the property and which will go with the vendor?

•

Will your furniture fit in the home?

Find a sales consultant Find a sales person with whom you feel comfortable and with whom you can communicate easily. It’s a good idea to work with the same sales consultant in each company, that way they know your requirements and can call you when new properties come onto the market.

Different methods used to sell a home

Special conditions

When you buy a property, there are a number of different methods used by vendors to sell their home. You’ll need to be familiar with these methods because they affect how and when you make an offer. Read our Methods of buying property on page 30 for more detailed information.

Special conditions can include:

Making an offer By law, all written offers irrespective of price must be presented to a vendor. Your Tremains sales consultant will be there to work with you offering advice and guidance throughout the offer process. You will need to sign an Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Property, a standard agreement approved by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand and the Auckland Law Society used throughout New Zealand. Your offer is not unconditional until any special conditions have been met. Once an agreement is unconditional, neither the buyer nor the seller can change their minds.

•

Cash out clause – a buyer can come in with a cash offer and over-ride the existing conditional offer

•

Conditional upon a specialists report

•

Conditional upon the sale of the purchasers property

•

Conditional upon an existing agreement

•

Conditional upon a LIM report

•

Conditional upon finance

•

Conditional upon builders report

•

Conditional upon solicitors approval

Paying the deposit The deposit is due to be paid when agreement is reached with you and the vendor unless otherwise stated in the agreement. The deposit is paid into an audited trust account and is only released when it has been legally authorised. We’ll hold the keys to the property until your solicitor advises us that settlement has taken place.

Final inspection It is your right in the standard terms and conditions of the agreement, to carry out a final inspection as close to settlement date as possible. Ensure the property is in the same condition as when you first inspected it. Your Tremains sales consultant will arrange this for you.

Settlement day Settlement day is generally moving day.

In general the vendor moves out in the morning and the new owners move in the afternoon. However, you can get the keys to the property only when you have paid the money over. Liaise with your solicitor, the vendor and your consultant.

Lifestyle, Home & Income - Have It All

Suburb: Taupo

Standing in the living room of this character filled faux log home, the view offered is something akin to landscape art. Rolling green pastures as far as the eye can see with our Lake and Mountains as the backdrop. The heart of this block is the homestead itself - and it's very much a family home. Generous bedrooms, spacious living, and a homely country kitchen. Entry to the homestead is through a large, covered entertainment area. Downstairs is the penultimate mancave space with room for a pool table and bar. A second dwelling with extra room introduces options for a BnB or Farmstay. The block itself offers further opportunity with numerous large outbuildings including calf rearing facilities that can hold 40-60 calves depending on the operation. Our vendors have been rearing over 300 per year with some additional lease land, and selling as weaners. The ideal lifestyle for those wanting both a home and income.

Properties in the $500,000 to $750,000 price bracket are selling quickly. Investors appear active, especially from Auckland, however, they are commonly beaten by homeowners who seem willing to pay more to secure the property. Open homes are busy with visitor numbers up and mostly local with some out of town buyers relocating or investing. Enquiry has also increased but has come from further afield. Vendor’s price expectations have increased as they grasp onto the shortage of stock and buyer demand, resulting in interesting sales prices.

Methods of buying a property There are many pricing methods used to sell property. This comprehensive guide details each of the options a vendor can use. Speak with your Tremains sales consultant for more information about how to go about putting an offer on a property based on which sales method is being used.

Tender

Fixed Price

A tender is a method where buyers submit confidential written offers for a property by a set date. Offers can be accepted prior to the advertised close date, but this must be made clear in the advertising. There is no reserve price but there may be a price guide.

Properties can be advertised with a price. This method of sale still allows the buyer to negotiate with you on price.

•

All offers are confidential

•

Vendors have the option of accepting an offer before the tender date as long as this is clear in the marketing material

•

Vendors have time to consider the offers before they make a decision

•

There is no ceiling on the price – no restrictions by advertising a price

•

An offer will be drawn up on tender documents provided by the vendor or their solicitor. If an offer is made prior to the tender close date, it is drawn up on a standard Sale and Purchase Agreement.

•

Makes buyers most comfortable knowing vendor’s expectations

•

Recent market statistics help to set the price

Deadline Sale •

A deadline sale is similar to a tender in that buyers submit confidential written offers for your property by a set date. Offers can be accepted prior to the advertised close date, but this must be made clear in the advertising.

•

There is no reserve price but there may be a price guide. The difference between a deadline sale and a tender is that rather than submit an offer on tender documents, the buyer submits their offer on a standard Sale and Purchase Agreement.

•

All offers are confidential

•

The vendor has the option of accepting an offer before the deadline date as long as this is clear in the marketing material

•

The vendor has time to consider the offers before you make a decision

•

There is no ceiling on the price – no restrictions by advertising a price

Auction

Price by negotiation

Selling a property at auction is an open process where buyers bid against each other to purchase the property. The vendor sets a reserve price before the auction and once this price is reached, the highest bidder becomes the successful buyer.

•

Selling a property by negotiation is a good way to sell when it is difficult to estimate the price a property is likely to sell for.

•

This sales method sees a buyer make an offer based on what they believe your property is worth. Buyers have to do their own research to make this judgement and then vendors can negotiate with them on price through the sales consultant.

•

All bidders are cash buyers – there are no conditions on the offers and sold means sold

•

A vendor can still consider offers before the auction if the auction terms and conditions allow for it

•

•

A vendor will set a reserve price which is the lowest price they are willing to accept

Vendors can set the price by comparing “like” properties

•

There is no time pressure on buyers

•

Your real estate sales consultant will know how many interested parties will be in the room as buyers must register

•

The price by negotiation method can be used with no price indication

•

There is no ceiling on the price – no restrictions by advertising a price How the bidding process works:

•

Once the bidding passes the reserve price, the property is on the market and will be sold to the highest bidder.

•

If the bidding does not reach the reserve price, the auctioneer will pause the auction and discuss what the vendor would like to do next.

•

If bidding is close to reserve price, but not quite there, a vendor can agree to put the property on the market, in which case the highest price buys the property; or

•

The vendor can advise the auctioneer that they will not sell at that price and the property gets “passed in.” The auctioneer will let people know the auction is finished because the reserve price has not been reached.

•

At Tremains, we suggest that the vendor negotiate with the person who made the highest bid. This still gives them the opportunity to sell the property on the night – however any offers may not be unconditional.

Negotiating range •

A property can be marketed by giving a pricing guide or indication of the price range a vendor expects to achieve for their property.

•

The home can be marketed to a wide range of buyers

•

The vendor can negotiate price within a wider range
