Encouraging Sales in Christchurch’s East

With March behind us now (concluding with over $9m of written sales) it is certainly a positive sign to note that overall the buying public are continuing to regain confidence in the eastern suburbs. This was evidenced by 50% of March’s sales from our Parklands office being in the East. Yes as a local, of course I am not biased – yeah right! The northeast of Christchurch is a great place to live – fresh air, the beach and the forest plus so much more comprises our daily backyard experience. It is not hard to be a real believer!

Red zone buyers continue to be out in force and have again represented a good proportion of our local office sales for March. As always effective marketing campaigns and correct pricing will ensure a home owner will be able to capitalise on this current high activity. Who would have thought we would be experiencing such a strong market following such tragic events last year.

I wish you a very enjoyable and safe Easter break. Like me I hope you can enjoy some time out with your family and celebrate the true meaning of the occasion.
