    What Our Customers Say

View all testimonials

We were nervous using a new real estate agent however, Andrea at Real Real Estate Kerikeri made us feel comfortable to use her services. Her honesty and integrity and communication was excellent.  She is patient and resilient. She priced our property at what we wanted and we sold our property within 6 weeks. Thank you Andrea and the team at Real Real Estate Kerikeri - you listened, understood our needs and produced results.

A true professional.

The team at Real have been amazing and, in particular, Terri, who is a total delight. She is patient encouraging and very kind; A true professional.

A Perfect Partnership

We cannot recommend Andrea and Manus and the team at Real Highly enough. When Real were given the property listing to sell the whole team viewed the property and provided a detailed written appraisal which was a nice touch. Within days Andrea and Manus had produced a number of prospective buyers who visited the property with at least one having a second viewing. Andrea and Manus were always approachable and kept us informed every step of the way. The whole timeframe of the selling process was very quick given the current difficult market. The actual process following the sale agreement was professionally dealt with by Andrea and ensured it went through without a hitch. All dealings with the Real team were extremely professional and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly Recommend.

Market Update February 2025

In 2024, Kerikeri's housing market improved, with around 10% more homes selling compared to 2023. However, many homes are selling for less than their official value, and prices have dropped by about 10-15% from their peak in 2022. The Reserve Bank is likely to lower interest rates by another 0.5% in February, which could help make borrowing money cheaper. While this could give the market a boost, other factors like job uncertainty and fewer people moving to New Zealand are keeping demand from growing too quickly. Right now, there are a lot of homes for sale, but this is more true in some price ranges than others. Because of this, prices are expected to stay fairly steady through the first half of 2025. Investors are starting to look at other options since interest rates on savings aren’t as high, but they’re also cautious because of higher mortgage rates and insurance costs. First-time homebuyers might have a chance to buy before investors come back stronger. For those looking to "climb the property ladder" — meaning upgrading to a better home — this could be a good time. Some price brackets have compressed, and with lower interest rates, savvy buyers might be able to move up in property value without spending too much more than their current home’s price. 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!...

November Commercial Commentary

Recent data from CoreLogic highlights the pressure being felt in the commercial and industrial sectors. Year end sales to June indicate $5.32 billion which appears significant but when compared to the average of $9.88 billion for period from 2015 to 2023 with a high of around $15 billion in 2021. Locally, there have been 6 commercial/industrial property sales from January thru October with one of those being a private sale. On a positive note, enquiries have definitely increased with a number of these being from businesses currently located outside of our area looking to expand current operations and Kerikeri is seen as an area for expected growth. While it is expected that there may not be any movement in the OCR on 27 November, the markets have anticipated this and hopefully we will continue to see a slow easing in the lending rates. This will assist in the housing market with an effect flowing through to the commercial market as new arrivals bring enterprise with them or locals feel encouraged to try something or expand their current operation. So what does this mean for you? • The area is attracting interest from external businesses, signalling potential for property value increases and economic activity in the region. • With lending rates potentially easing, there may be a positive impact on the housing and commercial property markets. This could benefit investors and business owners in the area. • If you're involved in property, business, or investments in the region, this data suggests a cautiously optimistic outlook. Opportunities might arise as lending conditions improve and interest in the region grows. Feel free to phone me or drop in for a chat about anything commercial. Wayne Scott 027 498 3312...

Market Update: November 2024

A lot of people are asking, “So, how’s the market doing?” Right now, things are slowly getting better, with more people looking to buy homes. There’s more interest than before, especially in big cities like Auckland and Wellington. However, most experts think it will take a little time for the market to fully bounce back, rather than a quick recovery. In places like Kerikeri, there are more houses for sale than there are being sold. So, it’s a bit of a buyer’s market right now. Homes under $1 million are selling faster because there aren’t as many of them, but for homes between $1 million and $1.5 million, there are more choices for buyers, which means they might take a little longer to sell. For houses over $1.5 million, there’s been some good sales, and we’ve had success selling homes for over $2 million. Looking ahead, things should get even better. More buyers are expected as more immigrants are allowed to buy homes, and interest rates might go down, making it easier for people to borrow money. However, prices won’t go up quickly—it usually takes about 6 to 12 months for prices to catch up with the number of homes being sold. Right now, the market isn’t too hot or too cold. There are plenty of new homes for sale, and lots of buyers are out there looking. People seem to be taking their time with decisions, so it’s a more relaxed market for both buyers and sellers. Feel free to come in anytime for a coffee and a chat with any of our team....
