The Team from Megan Smith & Co.

Kia ora neighbours,

We’ve got the latest data from April on the Hamilton Property Market thanks to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand.

- Median house price $740,000
- Median days to sell 46 vs a 10-year average of 39 days
- 27 weeks of inventory vs 26 weeks in April 2023

The property market in Hamilton is busy, with a plethora of houses available for purchase. It's worth noting that we've witnessed a significant 16% increase in the number of houses sold last month compared to April 2023. The most active buying groups across Waikato are owner-occupiers and first-home buyers, who are still actively searching for their new home, indicating good opportunities in the market.

If you’d like to know more about the current market, whether you’re looking at buying or selling, contact us today so we can provide you with up to date information and inform your decision making

Poll: Do you think fining illegal dumpers will help reduce rubbish?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.

The council trialled notices with a “don’t be a tosser” message a couple of years ago, in an attempt to prick people’s consciences, but they weren’t successful, so it has gone the other way and started taking a tougher line.

Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
