This Week's Lifestyle Properties and Open Homes

Wow, we are already at the halfway mark for 2025! Since January, the lifestyle market has improved at a steady and consistent pace. Confidence in the market is back, and both buyers and vendors are in decision-making mode.  Available lifestyle listings continue to be upwards of 140 (Napier and Hastings) which has kept things at a steady pace despite improved economic conditions, and sales have continued to increase month to month through 2025.

Lifestyle and rural sales reported for May by REINZ are the highest for the year thus far, at 29 sales. There were 24 sales recorded in April and 27 in March. Since peaking in March, the DOM (days on the market) figures have decreased as older listings sell through and the market resets to faster sale times eg via a Tender, Deadline or Auction campaign. The May sales statistics are available for you to view on my blog page at www.hawkesbaylifestyle.com.

Whilst we have a good number of properties currently under contract, we also have a few vendors who are very keen to see some action. Click through on the properties below to view more information on my website and give me a call to discuss the potential here!

We are also back to a full schedule of open homes this coming Sunday - such a diverse range of properties! I appreciate the logistics of getting to as many properties as possible, so please call anytime for a property brochure and to arrange a private viewing at a more convenient time.

Have a lovely weekend, wrap up warm - it's looking fine but a wee bit chilly... (...Hawke's Bay "chilly" being a bit different to Otago chilly!!). I look forward to hearing from you.
