RAY WHITE NOW | CASH RATE COUNTDOWN

Another Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) has passed with another stay in the Official Cash Rate (OCR) - which was kept unchanged for the eighth consecutive time at 5.50 percent.

Kiwis are now confident that the next move for mortgage lending rates will be down, and they’re also growing in conviction that the easing cycle will have started by November.

Anecdotally, we have already seen the anticipation of a reduction in interest rates feed through to a lift in housing demand, with more sellers tuned into economic developments than perhaps any time in recent history. This means that both buyers and sellers have become more responsive to changes in market sentiment, with those who have been patiently waiting on the sidelines for optimal conditions, are primed to act quickly and decisively.

Wow! Thank you so much Al and Marj for your wonderful referral for selling your home. This has just blown me away and has made my job so much more rewarding 😊

I'm so proud to announce that 35b Mitchell Street, Brooklyn has finally sold since it has actually been under offer since early March due to a house sale. I am so happy for both my vendors (Al and Marj) and the new owners (Emma and Stephen) to be able to move on to their next stage in life.

Today we celebrate Matariki which is the Māori name for the cluster of stars that rises in midwinter, and for many Māori, it heralds the start of the new year. Matariki is a shortened version of Ngā mata o te ariki o Tāwhirimātea, "the eyes of the god Tāwhirimātea". According to Māori tradition, Tāwhirimātea, the god of wind and weather, was enraged by the separation of heaven and earth – his parents, Ranginui and Papatūānuku. Defeated in battle by his brother, Tāwhirimātea fled to the sky to live with Ranginui, but in his anger, he first plucked out his eyes as a gesture of contempt towards his siblings, and flung them into the sky, where they remain stuck to his father's chest. In Māori tradition the unpredictability of the winds is blamed on Tāwhirimātea's blindness.

RAY WHITE NOW | THE NEW POLICY ERA

As we enter the second half of the year, Kiwis across the residential landscape suddenly find themselves on a very different playing field, marked by policy change that is set to shift the dial for several key buyer groups.

Despite weakness across New Zealand’s economy, the central bank is still extremely cautious about homegrown inflation pressure. Areas like rents, insurance costs, and local body rates are the most stubborn inflationary drivers.

We're proud to bring you our latest edition of Ray White Now providing New Zealand market insights.

We trust that this document will help you to gain a deeper understanding of present market conditions, and we are proud to share our observations and deep data set in this latest edition of Ray White Now. 📈

Awesome Opportunity!

If you are still in the market looking to buy, this lovely, light, 3-bedroom plus study townhouse with year-round, all-day sun, is still available, giving you the opportunity, to become the new owner.

You may have wondered why it hasn’t sold yet: I can assure you that it is nothing to do with the property itself. In fact, it has been under offer subject to a house sale (which, unfortunately, still hasn’t sold) since early March. However, there is a cash-out clause which means that should my vendor receive an acceptable offer, they can serve notice on the current buyers to make their offer unconditional within 5 working days. Failing to do so will mean that the new offer, your offer, would kick in, as easy as that.

My vendor is extremely motivated, as they are wanting to move out of town and will now look at offers from $950,000, which is really good buying in any market. This level is well below the RV of $1.35m and the property valuation website estimates – fantastic buying!

For your peace of mind, there is also a builder’s report and Lim report available to interested parties.

Act fast, as this generous opportunity does not come around often. Make your dream a reality today, and contact me now to discuss options!
