Realestate agents at Harcourts New Plymouth office are crying out for properties to satisfy buyers who just can’t find what they are looking for. Although the common perception is a soft market, due to the recession, the fact is we are very short of houses to sell. The competition in the lower price ranges particularly is causing buyers to compete in multiple offers more often than not.
It’s a funny old business, because I know from 20 years of experience that come spring and early summer there will be lots of property listed. It happens every year. It’s a great time to show a property off no doubt. Longer warmer days, gardens looking a picture, time available to paint, wash and attend to little jobs, making the presentation as good as it can be, and that’s great. However the housing market, like every other free market is about supply & demand. Just now the supply is not satisfying the demand, which offers a window of opportunity for local sellers between now and the summer. If you are going to be selling then – think about taking advantage of the present stock shortage and call your preferred Harcourts agent now on 0800 we sell, or log onto www.taranakiharcourts.co.nz and see the competition for yourself.
