Looking to buy this spring!!!
Auction room can be intimidating especially when you want to turn that house into your own home.
It’s a different ball game compared to negotiation or asking price offers as you may get the opportunity to challenge the offered price!
One of the key aspects on the oneroof article:

“Crunch the numbers on the property and work out your budget ahead of time”
With the property market recovering from the lowest peak, it could mean that negotiation or asking price offers would be a thing of the past.
If you think, you would view the dream property first and then talk about finance application, you could end up rushing through with the process and causing undue stress!
Plan ahead, if you are looking to buy or moving to bigger place or move to another location.
Give yourself the opportunity to walk into the next auction and bid with confidence!

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
