A Balanced Property Market?

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

🔑"According to REINZ Chief Executive Jen Baird, while the market remains subdued, there is a noticeable rise in positivity and confidence that things will continue to improve as we approach the end of the year. Despite lingering challenges such as the cost of living, many believe that the downward trend of interest rates will lead to a gradual recovery as we move into 2025."

Falling interest rates are tempered by uncertain employment conditions and housing inventory at levels 2014 levels (graph below), suggesting the market may be returning to a more balanced position.

At adviceHQ , we’re seeing more activity through mortgage applications, which are often a leading indicator of market trends. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding your position now can open up future opportunities.

Devonport Rotary supports Waterwise

Rhondda Sweetman from Devonport Rotary Club

The Devonport Rotary fundraising event Festive Bites and Delights, held last year at the Bayleys Real Estate office, raised almost $8,000 — an incredible result thanks to the generosity of everyone who took part.
Those funds have now been donated to Waterwise, which is proudly kitted out with brand‑new wetsuits for local kids to wear on chilly days out on the water. It’s a practical, confidence‑boosting upgrade that will make a real difference to their safety and enjoyment.
