June 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Homes Houses Apartments

Recent Quotable Value QV Valuations statistics for the three months ending April 2010 show the average sale price in Tauranga dropped slightly to $412,080 from $413,173.

However, the figures also show property values (residential) went up 0.6 per cent during the last 12 months.

These figures would seem to indicate residential property prices in Tauranga are generally holding up quite well without excessive discounting. It is still a buyer’s market with many vendors (sellers) being realistic to market conditions.

Understanding Real Estate Terms

June 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Homes Houses Apartments

When buying or selling a property people come across industry terms they may not be familiar with. For example, NZ real estate agents often use the word “vendor”to describe a home owner or seller.

A Sale and Purchase Agreement usually means the legally binding written contract that both the buyer and seller need to sign. A LIM Report stands for Land Information Memoranda (LIM) and is a comprehensive report containing everything the Council knows about a property or section.

The term MREINZ Tauranga means the company is a Member of the Real Estate Institute Of New Zealand (REINZ). REAA stands for The Real Estate Agents Authority. The organisations’ role to provide independent oversight of the New Zealand real estate industry, ensure a high standard of service and professionalism within the industry, and to provide increased consumer protection. The Authority is a Crown entity.
