Grey Lynn, Titirangi, Grey Lynn.

Jason Trowbridge brings you an absolute boomer in Rose Rd Grey Lynn this week. A character villa in one of the most sought after streets in our area.

For those that are looking for greenery and stunning views, Keith and Sandy bring you a magical setting in Titirangi – incredible bang for buck here!! A little closer to home, Keith and Sandy also have their names beside classic villas at # 41 and #3 Home Street in Arch Hill / Grey Lynn.

The whole Custom Team are back on deck and talking to buyers and sellers at a rapid rate. Please feel free to contact your preferred Custom Team member if you’d like a snapshot of the local market as it stands at present.

The big news this week was around Auckland’s rapidly growing population (click here for article) and the lack of new building consents being processed (click here to read more). This poses the question: where is everyone going to live?! Auckland just tipping over the 1.5 million mark this week (we hit 500,000 in 1961 and 1,000,000 in 1996).

The projections are, that Auckland’s population will hit 2,000,000 by 2030; and with a huge lag in new housing builds, if you’re a buyer in the market today, securing something sooner rather than later would be the right idea. It’s our belief that supply will continue to be very tight in relation to demand and local house prices will continue to creep up.

Also, this week we include a promo piece for a cool new child care centre in Grey Lynn. Little Engines will help meet the ever increasing demand for quality child care in our area.

Have a great long weekend

Grey Lynn Villas, Western Springs, Mt Eden

Talking to our team at the sales meeting this week was an interesting experience. Normally at this time of year (pre Waitangi Day), market activity in terms of unconditional sales and numbers through open homes is quite light.

Our team are reporting numbers of 50 to 60 groups though most open homes at the weekend and have achieved 4 sales in the last 7 days. Buyers have returned from their Christmas break with a real spring in their step and plenty of urgency in their actions. There are some very serious decision makers out there at the moment, slightly earlier in the year than expected. As a result of this, vendors are benefitting from having their property exposed to the market with very few properties competing against theirs for buyer attention. 

We are also starting to see buyers who are relocating from Christchurch, with insurance cheques in hand, making serious enquiries on local property.

All in all, it has been a very fast start to the year in a Real Estate sense.

Please feel free to scroll through our new listings. Our team are proud to bring you some outstanding opportunities this week.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the sun (which I’m told is going to continue over the weekend.)
