Market pulse on the Shore

Inbound competition - change in balance.

The past few months have proven that economists don’t possess a crystal ball. In fact, the opposite has happened to predictions.

"The proof is in the pudding. The property market has been shocked into recovery."

With historically low home loan interest rates and lack of LVR restrictions, first-time buyers and investors are seriously buying.

Supply and demand are in balance for a short period of time in the run-up to the general election on the 19th September.

As the North Shore was not reliant on tourism the slow-down in trade and leisure was short-lived with financial support.

The effects of ending mortgage holidays and wage subsidies are unlikely to be as significant locally, compared with other parts of the country, particularly more rural.

Those who have held off from selling or buying will add to the spring frenzy. Prepare now!
