PLENTY OF STEAM IN THE LOCAL MARKET

20 Nov 2009

We’ve got plenty on the go this weekend. Our Auctions on Sunday the 22nd of November include 52 Franklin Rd with Jeanne Clayton and John Wills, as well as 90 John Street with Rose Kirkwood. There still seems to be plenty of steam in the local market as we roll towards Christmas and we’re seeing serious buyers making purchasing decisions so that they can relax over Christmas, knowing their search is over.

Nic Blackie has had a great week selling, with a strong result at 54 Murdoch Rd in Grey Lynn and 7 Farrar Street that her and Sue Hatton sold. Sue Hatton and Kerri Wayman sold 44 Wanganui Avenue and received a great testimonial from their Aussie bound vendors. Rose Kirkwood sold yet another quality apartment.

As most of you will know, the landscape of this industry has changed recently. It goes without saying that Custom Residential is right behind the initiatives involved in the new legislation. We will of course be pressing on with the things we do differently to the others.

As a parting comment: I’m not a serious football fan, but last Saturday I found myself watching the All Whites win their way through to next year's World Cup. Their commitment and passion was obvious even to someone who knows little about the game. What a massive result. Something for us all to get behind.

It’s also great to see that the team shorts are longer than during the ’82 campaign and ‘slug’ moustashes are no longer a team requirement.
