TOP NOTCH AGENT!!
Grant has been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish - very relaxed and friendly with just the right amount of professionalism mixed in and didn't once feel pushy. We will for sure contact him when it comes time to sell again :) Thanks Grant!!
A skilled all rounder!
We have had an excellent experience with Grant. He has supported us with his local knowledge, communication and drive. We couldn’t recommend him anymore.

Market Update December 2025
The national market is settling into a more balanced phase. November brought 12,339 new listings, up 10.9 percent year-on-year, and total stock rose 4 percent to 35,345. Prices remain steady, with the national average asking price at $866,474. Northland continues to show renewed momentum. New listings rose more than 30 percent year-on-year and stock levels increased 13.5 percent, giving buyers more choice and supporting consistent activity across lifestyle areas. Kerikeri Snapshot: Kerikeri has been one of the more active parts of the region this spring. 33 sales in November – the highest month since March 2023 Year-to-date sales up 11 percent on 2024 New listings to market climbed 25 percent from October Prices steady, with strong interest in quality homes over $1 million Multiple offers appearing on selected properties Appraisal activity remains busy, pointing to a solid start to 2026 Land sales remain slower than the 10-year average, though interest in building is re-emerging Increased national migration activity supports ongoing buyer demand in Kerikeri Economic Backdrop Tony Alexander’s latest report shows retail spending rising 1.9 percent in the September quarter and business confidence at an 11-year high.

Summer in the Bay of Islands
It’s a perfect time to get out on the water, take a boat trip, hit the beaches, or just relax in town with good food and drinks. The Bay of Islands is still one of the go-to summer spots for locals and visitors, and if you’ve just arrived with your boat and aren’t sure where to start, here are a few places well worth your time: Moturua Island A fantastic loop walk with unbeatable views. Access from Army Bay or Waipao Bay. (Respect private land — there’s no access from private beaches or properties.) Urupukapuka Island Multiple walking tracks, huge views, and stunning beaches. And yes — there’s a licensed bar and restaurant at Otehei Bay for when you’re done exploring. Russell & Paihia These two hardly need an introduction. Grab fish and chips with the kids and sit on the beach — simple, unbeatable, classic Bay of Islands. Paradise Bay Perfect for a laid-back picnic under the Pohutukawa trees and a snorkel around the rocky edges. Deep Water Cove Our marine reserve and home to the Canterbury wreck — a serious dive at around 24 metres to the deck. Fishing There’s action everywhere. Mullet in the estuaries, big snapper on the middle ground, and out wide you’re into tuna and marlin. It’s all happening. Boat repairs & maintenance Need help? Opua is your go-to for marine repairs, haul-outs, and anything that needs sorting. Taniwha Cave A special spot — but you’ll have to come see Steve for the exact location. For history or culture-lovers: discovering local heritage spots around Kerikeri (old mission houses, historic churches, heritage buildings) can offer a quieter, meaningful escape from the usual holiday rush. The river walks in Kerikeri offer tranquil pathways winding alongside lush greenery and gentle flowing water — a perfect chance to slow down, enjoy the native bush, and soak in the quiet beauty of Northland. Stroll along peaceful tracks, listen for birdsong, and breathe in the fresh air just steps from town. It’s an easy-going, grounding way to reconnect with nature and appreciate the little things — a real escape without having to travel far.

Market Update - Steady and Positive
The Kerikeri market has remained steady through July and August, with sales numbers above the first half of the year average. Excitingly, sales in Kerikeri are on par with this time last year, showing resilience and stability. The average days to sell has settled around 120, and we're thrilled to see properties that have been on the market for some time now finding their new owners! Provincial towns like ours are proving to be more resilient than major centres like Auckland and Wellington in this post-COVID environment. Key Market Highlights: Increased enquiry and attendance at open homes - a sign of strong buyer interest! Multiple offers are becoming more common, so buyers need to act decisively. Don't risk losing out by making a low or late offer! The increase in sales over $1 million has boosted the median price in our area, indicating strength in the higher-end market. Lower interest rates and increased listing numbers are making it easier for first home buyers to get on the property ladder. Helping young families find their dream home is one of the most rewarding parts of our job. Sellers who proactively address maintenance issues and stage their homes are achieving premium prices. Feel free to stop by anytime for a coffee and a chat with one of our team members if you want to talk about the market more!...
