Don't MISS an opportunity - 10 Reasons to sell in Winter.

Vanessa from Todds Valley

1. Less Competition – means more chance of selling your Property

2. More Motivated Genuine Buyers getting in before the ‘Spring Rush' - means you ‘Sell High’.

3. Get to be a Non-contingent buyer – with your property sold it is great timing to buy in spring when most sellers list, meaning you ‘Buy Competitively’

4. Interest Rates are still historically low and holding, get in before they change.

5. Faster results and settlements due to less happening on the market, better availability of specialists, which is great for both sellers and buyers.

6. Digital Marketing is no problem in winter - 90% of buyers use this. Home searches increase during winter due to people being home more during the colder months.

7. Welcoming Warm Open Homes – It is easy in winter to show off your homes warmth & Insulation with a cosy fire and good heating. Add in fresh baking and coffee = hard to beat.

8. Increased Marketing in winter with less competition makes your home really stand out by doing more open homes, ads, or posts makes your home incredibly visible to buyers.

9. A home liked in winter is a home loved in summer

10. Sun and light are king – with the sun lower and fewer leaves on the trees, your home is likely to get better sun inside. Good natural light creates warmth and appeal

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
