Spring has arrived and with it comes warmer days, longer evenings and if history is anything to go by then we can expect a raft of new listings to enter the market.

Sales volumes have been down over the past couple of months and this can possibly be put down to the cooler temperatures, the rising OCR and the ongoing LVR restrictions.

However, there is a traditional lift in property sales when spring kicks into gear with the milder weather encouraging people to list their home as more people

venture out to open homes. There is also a desire for vendors to move into their new home by the time Christmas rolls around which isn’t too far away either!

In the spring edition of our newsletter, we offer some tips that can help your house stand out from the spring crowd and you can go into the draw to win a trip for two to Rarotonga.

It’s not just spring that has arrived - we are pleased to welcome Shelley Carppe to our Stoke team. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm.

Enjoy the spring sunshine and all that comes with it and if you are thinking about buying or selling in the near future then we would love to assist you in this process.

Best wishes,

Mitchell and the team

Giving your home the edge this springSpring is in the air and sellers need to be prepared for a lot more competition in the property market. But if you do some simple things well then you are more likely to stand out from the crowd and get the attention of potential buyers.

This can be done in a variety of ways and one of the simplest and eff ective ways to do this is to look at your property through the buyers’ eyes.

Professional PhotographyA picture is worth a thousand words and if a photo is taken professionally then it can add thousands to your sale price. More often than not, the first time someone views your property will either be online or through print. The images presented will give the public an idea of what they can expect to see at the open home and if they don’t paint an inviting picture then they will likely give your property a miss.

De-clutterThis is a must before an open home - general clutter can create the illusion that a room is a lot smaller and lacking

storage and this can ultimately be a make-or-break for some buyers. Eliminating personal possessions is also key - buyers need to be able to envision themselves living in the property and this can be hard to do if you have family photos in every room of the house.

The Great OutdoorsA well-presented garden can add great value to any home. Your garden comes to life in spring and therefore it’s a great idea to take advantage of new growth by creating an inviting outdoor oasis. Creating this space can be as simple as mowing the lawn, pruning over-grown plants and disposing of any stray branches or leaves. However, you could go a step further and add a splash of colour by planting some shrubs or perennials.

Thinking AloudWelcome to spring! From September we’ve got less than 100 days till Christmas – scary stuff ! Anyhow what generally happens in the lead up to Christmas is the property market goes into a frenzy. I think that’s a good thing but if you’re selling you’ve got to have your home (or property) stand out from all the others on the market. I maintain the best way to get ahead of the market is make your home stand out in print, online, TV and other mediums. At Mike Pero we do all of the above and we aim to create a demand for your home that prompts interest and eventually brings you the best buyers so you get the best price. I grew the Mike Pero brand by building awareness, predominantly on TV. I figure that a picture paints a thousand words but a moving picture, with sound and a call to action, sells homes! We’re delighted to be the only real estate company to off er a FREE TV Commercial with every property listing. Talk with your nearest agent about how you can take advantage of this off er.
