Talking Real Estate
The real estate market is moving!
Hi folks,
I have to say I’m quite enjoying writing these musings, especially this year when yet again I can say with positivity that the market is moving!
Wondering how to pick an agent?
Hi folks,
Well I can tell it’s school holiday time, the roads and trains are quieter and so is my phone!
2015: Better by a country mile!
Hi folks,
It’s official, 2015 is a much better year for Real Estate in Upper Hutt than last year and by a country mile! The number of residential property sales this year from January–August is up on 2014 by a massive 108 sales! We are currently running at 532 sales for this year to date compared with 424 sales last year.
Short and sweet...
Hi folks,
As regular readers will know I tend to use this space for market commentary, to keep up with what’s going on in our Upper Hutt residential market or to offer real estate tips, buying, selling, sprucing up etc.
The Upper Hutt market is picking up!
Hi folks,
It’s brilliant to (finally) write that the Upper Hutt property market is picking up and is currently moving at a very good pace, particularly in the under $600,000 price range where the majority of Upper Hutt properties sit. It is especially great to say this in Winter, a traditionally quieter time of the year to sell.
I don’t get to skite often but...
I don’t get to skite often, that’s because I know I will get shot down pretty quickly! (and not just from my wife) However on this occasion can I please give myself a little self-congratulatory pat on the back after agreeing 11 sales in a 12 day period (9 from 9 at one point).
Signs of growth in our local market!
Hi folks,

Keep up to date with Real Estate market conditions!
Hi folks,
It’s fair to say that I consider myself very knowledgeable about the Upper Hutt residential market place and one thing I have learned is that most people who have just bought or sold a property know a lot about their market in their area are as well. They have gained this knowledge over weeks and months of looking at properties to buy or preparing themselves to sell. So how can they keep this market knowledge current so that they always know market trends and price movements?

The Auckland property boom is spreading
Hi folks,
As we all know the Auckland real estate market is going gang busters, it’s pretty difficult to avoid as it seems it’s on the news nightly and a favourite topic on Talkback radio. It’s particularly difficult to listen to if you’re in the situation of selling your property in Upper Hutt for the same as you paid some years ago or even less as the case may be.
