While some buyers are taking their time, others are snapping up properties at attractive prices before the expected slowing during the winter months and the potential reemergence of investors mid-year.
It might be a few months yet before the residual impact of readjustments post the government’s 100-day plan and budget are felt.

Indeed, there are cool economic breezes being felt but there are signs of more positive activity ahead,” adds Baird.

Transforming Home Buying: Share Your Thoughts!

Lorraine from Mount Maunganui

Hello Mt Maunganui, Arataki, Papamoa and Tauranga Communities,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to gather your thoughts on a new business idea that could make buying a home a whole lot easier for our community.

Purchasing real estate is one of the biggest investments many of us make. When selling, you have an agent dedicated to your needs. But when buying, you’re often left to navigate the process alone. That’s where a Buyer’s Agent comes in—a property expert committed to helping you find and purchase your ideal home.

Buyer’s Agents, common in the US and Australia, but new to the Bay of Plenty, have no listings, ensuring they have no conflicts of interest. They work exclusively for you, the buyer, to secure the best possible outcome. Here’s how they help:
1. Personalized Service: they spend time understanding your needs to find your ideal property.
2. Property Searches: they locate properties that match your criteria and arrange private viewings.
3. Property Ratings: After each viewing, they help you evaluate the property based on your needs.
4. Appraisals: They provide property appraisals with comparable sales data to ensure you don’t pay more than the property is worth.
5. Negotiations: They guide you through Sale and Purchase Agreements, and handle negotiations and auctions.
6. Due Diligence: They arrange all necessary checks, including title searches, LIM reports, property inspections and more.
7. Protection: They protect you from common pitfalls and costly mistakes.
8. Expense Summaries: They provide a summary of outgoings like insurance, rates, and body corporate fees.
9. Smooth Transactions: They ensure all conditions of sale are met and that settlement proceeds as expected.
10. Informed Decisions: They help you make confident, informed buying decisions.

Would a service like this be valuable to you or someone you know?
Your feedback is crucial in determining if our community is ready for a Buyer’s Agency Service.

Thank you so much for your time and support.

Make your family aware: Scam posing as officers returns

A phone scam is re-emerging with cold calling swindlers claiming to be Police officers.

New Zealand Police are advising the public to be vigilant, after a handful of reports have been made in recent days. Unfortunately, at least two elderly Aucklanders have been conned out of tens of thousands of dollars.

Waitematā CIB’s Detective Senior Sergeant Ryan Bunting says scammers are cold calling, mainly on landlines, and claim to be a Police officer.“They will also provide a fake ID or badge number to make their call seem legitimate,” he says.“This person will carry on and provide a reason for their call: either they are investigating fake bank notes, or that your credit card has been cloned.

“As part of this scam, they will ask you to withdraw money from a nearby bank to be collected or ask you to provide further financial or banking information to aid their investigation.”

Be aware: this is a scam call.

Police are investigating two reports this week, in south Auckland and the North Shore, where two people have fallen victim to the scam. “Both victims withdrew cash from a bank and handed this over to someone who arrived at their door to collect it under the fake cover story,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says.“These victims have had their good-will and trust trodden on by these scammers.”

Investigation staff have ensured there is support available for the victims. Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says: “Scammers have no ethics whatsoever and will take any opportunity to try and con you.“These scams take many forms, and the offenders trick people under a variety of guises or storylines.”

There are occasions where legitimate Police officers will contact people as part of their duties, he says.

Police are asking the community to be aware and take the opportunity to spread the word amongst friends and family members. “We are particularly keen to ensure elder family members are aware of what is happening,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says. “If anyone receives a call of this nature, hang up.

“If you have had the unfortunate position of being a victim to this scam and have not reported this, we encourage you to report this to Police.”

Please remember:
- Police will never call to ask you for bank details, pin numbers or passwords
- Police do not offer prize money
- Police will not ask you to go to a bank to withdraw money
- If you receive a call out of the blue of a similar nature: challenge the caller to identify themselves, ask for their details.
- Hang up, contact 105 to verify the ID and request the officer to contact you
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Curious about what happens during a property appraisal? Whether you're thinking of selling, refinancing, or just want to know your home's value in the current market, I've got you covered! Let's break it down together.

Why Get a Property Appraisal?

Getting a property appraisal isn't just for selling your home. Here are a few other reasons you might want one:
- **Refinancing**: Need a fresh estimate for a new mortgage deal?
- **Home Improvements**: Made some upgrades and want to see how they've boosted your home's value?
- **Market Check**: Just want to stay updated on your home's worth due to market fluctuations?
- **Investment Plans**: Considering purchasing another property?

Whatever your reason, a property appraisal can give you a clear picture of the value of your home. 🏘️✨

The Appraisal Process - What to Expect

1. **Get in Touch**: Give me a call anytime to schedule your appraisal. We'll find a time that works best for you. 📞

2. **Home Walkthrough**: We’ll take a tour of your home, checking out the condition, size, and all the special features. We'll look at:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms 🛏️🛁
- Parking spaces 🚗
- Any unique additions or recent improvements 🛠️

3. **Market Research**: After the walkthrough, we’ll dive into some serious research. We'll look at recent sales of similar properties in your area to understand what the market is like. This includes:
- Location and its proximity to amenities like shopping centres, lifestyle facilities, and schools 🏫🏪🏖️

4. **The Report**: Once we've gathered all the details, we'll compile a report. This will include our professional opinion on your home’s value, often called a price guide. This guide can help you decide whether to sell, refinance, or simply know your home's worth.

Ready to find out what your home is worth? Let's chat and set up a time that works for you. Give me a call at 0274951536. 📲

She was my grandparents cat but they have recently moved into a rest home and they couldn't take her with them. Her name is Dora and she's a 14 year old calico. She is nervous around people she doesn't know but with time and love she will be a friendly, sweet, affectionate cat. She hasn't been to the vet for a little while but she is healthy and I can take her for a check up before she goes to her new home. She is best suited to a home with no other pets and no young children. She is used to being in a quiet home. She likes spending time outside and would enjoy curling up in your lap as well. She is currently living in Bethlehem.
