I’ve always had a saying that marketing is everything? No matter what the market conditions are it’s about putting the property in front of as many people as possible.
Team Harper are leading the way with presenting property and providing valuable information to clients that leave not only an impression but also provide valuable info.
Here is a sample our latest video on this property.

The Graphs below are from REINZ providing statistics up to the end of April 2017. As you can see the last quarter of the 2016/17 financial year has seen an increase in the median sales price with Napier showing the biggest increase. A reduction in the days to sell and also an increase in the number of sales.
The market has seen listings hard to get as there are more buyers than sellers. We have on our books many people who would like to sell however are sitting tight as they have nothing to buy. It can be a frustrating market for vendors and buyers alike.
What we do know is we are achieving great sales levels for our vendors. Its a market where the first offer is not necessarily the best offer yet we continually see some Real Estate Salespeople selling properties with-in 24 hours of coming to the market. You have to question have these Salespeople given the vendors the best advice? As we know competition creates an unfair advantage for the vendors.
At Team Harper we understand this and try our hardest doing the right thing for our vendors. If this is how you’d like to be treated contact us today.

Two strong Salespeople for the price of one!!
Team Harper have done it again. SOLD 22 Clark Ave by way of a Pre-Auction Auction for a massive 49% above Rateable Valuation.
The secret is to carefully manage the sales process ensuring we create competition with all buyers that are likely to purchase. Each listing has to be treated differently carefully considering the best sales method and developing a bespoke marketing packages that targets the buyers we have identified may be attracted to the property.
There are many methods to advertise property – most companies have a cookie cutter approach where the agent selling down varies packages. These can be effective however can the agent hand on heart tell their vendor that they have explored every possible angle in attracting buyers to that property? At Team Harper yes of course we use the power of the Harcourts National and Hawkes Bay web sites plus the power of Real Estate.co.nz Trade Me etc. But we also look at age demographics eg. younger people use Social Media whereas older people are more drawn to Newsprint, magazines etc. So you need to consider options not necessarily covered by company packages.
Just remember one of my favourite lines………………….3 reasons why property does not sell no matter what the market. The 3 “P’s” Price Presentation and Promotion. Get these three elements working and get the right results for your clients.
All the best – Mike and Emerald – Team Harper

The good news for property owners is the 2017 property market has started with as much hype and gusto as 2016 finished.
In the Hawkes Bay we continue to have a surplus of buyers and a shortage of properties to market, to satisfy the buyers needs. This is obviously great for vendors as we continue to see record prices being paid (at times). In saying this, buyers are becoming very well researched when it comes to value in various areas and are often digging their toes in and being cautious with their decisions. Managing closing gaps between buyer and vendor expectations can be very tricky, and as vendors you need to have seasoned negotiators on your team.
As the latest (REINZ) graph below demonstrates – Napier Cities Medium house price is now $412,500 up $23,500 from November 16, sales volumes are well down with only 82 properties sold in Napier December 2016 with 115 sales December 2015.
There appears to be some stability with interest rates at present which is assisting buyers in purchasing. As in all markets, we caution people to exercise restraint as a small rise in rates further down the track can create financial problems, so be careful!
We believe Real Estate is all about helping people; whether selling or buying, to create better lifestyles and create financial security. Very satisfying.
