The Rise and Rise of ZRE
It’s clear that we kicked off 2025 with a very heavy boot as we see buyers returning to the local market in unexpected stellar numbers.
Retracting interest rates have seen Kiwis focus on bricks and mortar once again as they hunt for long term rental investments that offer good yields and a degree of financial security.
Equally, there has been an increase in first home buyer activity - young couples all looking for nesting opportunities - which I love being involved with as helping people on to the property ladder is extremely rewarding - both personally and professionally.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, I feel we will see a continued growth in buyer confidence as interest rates normalise in the lower reaches. I temper this positive outlook with a degree of caution though as one needs to factor in business confidence and indeed unemployment rates - which are both at uninspiring levels. Regardless, for now, it’s an exciting period in the real estate cycle and I for one am extremely happy with the current trend that we are experiencing. Let’s make the most of it!
As ZRE in the Southern Lake closes out its first quarter of 2025, we can proudly report that we have now exceeded forecasts by almost 100%.
Buoyed by exceptional local support and underpinned by falling interest rates, ZRE Turangi has continued to establish itself as the brand of innovation and action in a marketplace that was once flat and uninspiring.
ZRE has performed like a fiery rocket in the local property sector - having launched eight months ago amid a crowded landscape, we have not just grown the market, we have been driving values forward with an unrelenting fervour - setting multiple records in the process across a range of streets and locations.
Since January we have vigorously asserted our professional dominance of the market place, and single handedly I have sold more property than any other salesperson and office in the Southern Lake arena with 23 sales in 12 weeks.
Currently I have six houses under contract and am negotiating offers on three others which showcases just how active the sector is right now. As I said above, it’s time to maximise the energy out there and to continue to sell the sizzle on just how amazing our Southern Lake location is.
Helmets on folks and strap yourselves in..... the ride is about to get rather speedy.......
