Hamilton Property Update April 2024

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

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
