Market timing – is Christmas a good time to sell your house?

Tony White — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:07:41 +0000

94% Success Rate for January 2011

At this time of the year many people ask if it is a good time to sell their property. The reason they ask is because the Christmas break is coming along and they are not certain if their house will sell before Christmas and what happens over the holiday period.
Upon further examination their concerns are about the issue of less real estate publications being published and that many buyers may be out of town on holiday. Whilst both these factors are relevant there are others to consider:

If you really need to sell, or want to sell, you need to be on the market.
Buyers on transfer for work are more active over this period.
The internet is advertising your property 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If the timing is right, build your campaign to launch with the last real estate publication of the year (two-three weeks exposure) and then in first one in the New Year, or
Decide now, list now, but launch in January

Over the last Christmas and New Year months we put together a special marketing campaign to help our clients get their home or property sold. We had tremendous success with 94% of the properties marketed this way SOLD! We believe that the time is now right for another campaign and invite you to take advantage of this exciting opportunity.

While the Rugby World Cup was an economic success for many in the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors, it was, unfortunately, a bit of a distraction to real estate sellers and buyers. Next up we have the 26th of November election – all indicators are that following the election we can expect continuity of leadership and direction for another three years. With interest rates for borrowing continuing to be available at attractive, low rates this should encourage people to make major buying decisions. The demand for property on the North Shore is very strong. Here at Harcourts Cooper & Co we manage over 1,100 residential properties and last week we only had one vacant property on our books. This situation is driving more buyers to the market as demand for rental accommodation is clearly overpowering supply.

Our 94% record from last year shows how well the Christmas and New Year campaigns can work. Our management and sales team are keen to successfully sell your property and have committed to being available right through December and January to ensure that the buyers who see your property advertised through our special marketing campaign can be immediately introduced to your property. If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity and be part of another huge success, talk to any of the Harcourts Cooper and Co team today.

SUCCESS IS CONTAGIOUS!

Spacious open plan living, 2 good sized double bedrooms, and internal access single garage – it’s all looking a bit rundown and shabby and could do with a complete makeover.

Home For Sale | Campbells Bay | Super Home on Subdividable Site

Pip White — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 05:37:39 +0000

Open plan living opens through bifold doors to northfacing deck

Park Rise in Campbells Bay is a very special enclave, blessed with over 40 acres of regenerating native bush and parkland, as well as tennis courts and a golf course. It’s also very handy to Campbells Bay beach and reserve – a popular local picnic spot and safe swimming beach. The quiet, leafy neighbourhood is well established, with a good mix of families, professional couples and retirees who love this wonderful environment.

67a Park Rise is sited in a quiet, secluded position, well away from the road, overlooking a pretty dell. With 1448 square metres of land, there’s a luxurious and somewhat rare sense of space, with trees to climb, space for huts and boisterous games, as well as the option to subdivide and develop.

Kitchen, family room and lounge open onto spacious, sundrenched deck.

Totally refurbished, elegant and spacious, the substantial weatherboard home retains a sense of its traditional origins, yet has all the hallmarks of a thoroughly modern family home. A large, integrated living space, with sleek granite kitchen and polished timber floors, opens out to the equally generous, sundrenched deck. Adjoining this great family area, there’s a separate lounge – a more intimate space with a gas fire and access to the deck – as well as a third living room (with direct access to the garden) on the lower level.

The home has four double bedrooms (two up and two down), two spacious bathrooms, a guest toilet and a utility room or office. The entire house is presented as new, with careful attention to detail both inside and out. Oodles of off-street parking for visitors, boat and trailer, paved courtyards and a level lawn complete this super family home. There’s even a garden shed to lock away your garden equipment.

This property is also special for its school zoning. Students have the choice of attending either Rangitoto College or Westlake High. And, of course, Campbells Bay Primary is just up the road, with a walking schoolbus to ensure your children get there safe and healthy.

Home For Sale | Castor Bay | Loveshack for Grown Ups

Pip White — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 05:20:39 +0000

What do you do when your kids are grown up and off your hands, you’re over mowing lawns and weeding the garden, and you simply don’t need all those bedrooms filled with years’ accumulation of STUFF? There’re a couple of choices: buy a home unit – the end one of three preferred; find a plot of land somewhere in this increasingly in-filled city of ours and go through the long and arduous task of building a home tailored to your needs; follow the herd into one of those swanky new retirement villages, with your choice of recreational pursuits in situ, like lawn bowls and art classes. Yeah Right!

If these don’t have you leaping off the couch with excitement, there is another option – a home which has been designed and built specifically with YOU in mind. Unique and perfectly formed, this smart two bedroom townhouse doesn’t scrimp on space. There’s plenty of room to entertain friends and family, perhaps have the occasional guest sleep over, but it’s not big enough for your kids to move back home or store their STUFF. It’s set on a cross-leased site, yet it’s fully fenced and very private. The gardens are lush and gorgeous, yet there’re no lawns to suck up your weekends.

Constructed in vertical cedar, with copper spouting and tiled roof, this home has been crafted with careful attention to detail. The bathrooms are luxurious, the kitchen is well laid out and finished in granite, the ambient temperature is under your control thanks to the heat pump / air conditioning unit and ceiling fans, and it’s fully insulated.

If you’re thinking this property is out of your price range, then consider this: Sometimes cost does not equal value. But on this occasion, you’ll agree when you come to see for yourself, this home will represent superb value for money in anyone’s language.

This is a superb love nest, perfect for those starting over with their old lover, or their new. The master suite occupies the whole of the mezzanine floor, including a walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite bathroom. There’s a small office and private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee with a peek of the sea. Downstairs, the open plan living has a wonderful sense of light and space with its soaring double height ceiling, while the adjoining lounge area has a more intimate feel. Double doors open out to the deck and paved courtyard – a delightful space to entertain friends, soak up the sun throughout the day, or simply enjoy the sultry summer nights together. The main bathroom is of luxury proportions, finished in Italian tiles, with a whisper jet bath to soothe away the cares of the day and kick off your evening of romance.

Whether you’re a single or a couple, retired or getting close to it, this may just be the perfect lock-up-and-leave option for those great holidays or business trips you’ll be taking, and a sunny, sophisticated home that you’ll be proud to own. For more information or to view, call Tony 0800 61 8888.
