ISSUE #9 Welcome... Welcome to Spring and Issue 9 of my Quarterly Market Comment As we head towards the end of winter, we can expect to see more stock becoming available with the spring peak-selling season fast approaching. If you are contemplating a move, I would suggest you do not delay - stock is so incredibly scarce at the moment and this could seriously increase your sales price. Why wait for the buyers to have more choice! Our flagship Waterfront magazine is due for release at the end of October - once again we can offer you our unparalleled experience in this niche sector of the market. Contact me in confidence for more details. On a more personal note... Whilst we have all been enjoying the Kiwis success in Rio - we have also been extremely fortunate to accompany our son Seb to Portugal where he represented NZ at the Optimist World Sailing Championships. Like many Kiwi kids his desire to potentially represent NZ at the Olympics one day has certainly been fuelled by our teams’ success - Go NZ! You may wish to follow me on Facebook (Tara Menzies – Bayleys Real Estate); it’s an easy way to keep in touch and I value any opinions/feedback you may have. Kind regards, Tara.

Market Comment “Trials and tribulations of our Olympic hero’s on the global stage have reminded us that the race may be short, but preparation is everything. Timely then that we have been gearing up for our September Big Call promotion, which is New Zealand’s single largest property event. Bayleys is offering sellers the confidence to take their home to market with incentives such as heavily discounted marketing, unparalleled support and a nationwide campaign garnering television, radio and magazine coverage. Activity on the North Shore has remained largely unchanged from figures reported in August, with the average sale price up 13 percent compared with the same quarter last year. While properties are selling at an average of 34 days on the market, the issue of supply versus demand is still at the forefront of our minds as we look to the warmer months for some encouragement.” Tara Menzies (BSc) - ‘Selling locally - Supporting our community’ M 021 720 307 l D 09 487 0628 l E tara.menzies@bayleys.co.nz www.taramenzies.bayleys.co.nz Bayleys Real Estate Ltd, Mairangi Bay, Licensed under the REA Act 2008
