Open Home Preparation

Opinions about whether to hold an open home vary greatly amongst real estate agents and sellers, too. You’ll hear real estate agents flatly refuse to hold open homes because they view them as a wasted marketing effort, or they’ll say open homes are just a tool to find the agent new clients. And they take up the whole weekend!
There is some truth to this, but open homes sell houses. Nearly all of my listings sell at open homes. Many buyers find it more convenient to visit an open home at the weekend, and do not feel as though there is any pressure from a real estate agent showing them property. A buyer can decide to attend several open homes on one day and get a good overview of the market.

Selling In Winter in New Zealand, 9 more Tips!

Last week Pip and I sold a home that had been on the market for 2 years with another company. What did we do that was different? It’s winter and once again there is a shortage of homes. Properties that have been on the market a while are moving.

Selling your home in winter in New Zealand presents it owns challenges. As I write this it is pouring with rain, and cold. Homes just do not show well in this weather, and both buyers and sellers are often reluctant to get out and look at property.

But, at this time of the year, buyers are serious. Many buyers like to look at homes in the winter months, because they see them in a different light. The weather will filter out any tyre kickers and nosy neighbours. And when you sell in winter, you’ll be the one shopping for a home in spring, when all the other houses come on the market. There’ll be a bigger choice and you will be cashed up and in a good position to buy.

Which Website Should I Use to List and Sell My Property?

There was a little controversy stirred up by my recent blog on whether Newspaper Advertising is a Dead Duck, well Nielsen Online reports that in 2009 traffic to real estate websites increased by 40-50%. The big losers were the newspapers. If your agent is relying on newspaper advertising to bring you all the buyers they are making a mistake. You must make sure your property is promoted in the newspapers but if your North Shore home is not listed on one of the major property websites it is not on the market!
