THIS IS WHEN THE MARKET HEATS UP

Written By Jodi Hodgetts

The last weekend before Waitangi Day is a quiet but important turning point in the property market.

Why?

  • Schools are back

  • Holidays are over

  • Buyers and sellers are back in routine

What many people don’t realise is that this period typically brings:

  • A sharp increase in new listings

  • Stronger buyer enquiry and open home numbers

  • Faster decision-making than we see in January

Behind the scenes right now:

  • Appraisals are being completed ahead of February launches

  • Stagers and photographers are heavily booked

  • Vendors are positioning for February–March campaigns

Every Friday at 8am, we’ll share:

  • New listings

  • Confirmed sell prices

  • Local insights across Grey Lynn, Ponsonby, Westmere & Pt Chevalier

This is the point in the year where momentum starts to build.

This is our patch.

And the busy season is underway.
