What Our Customers Say
Seamless Process
As a Kiwi currently living abroad, I was unfamiliar with the process of purchasing property in New Zealand. From the very beginning, Terri was by my side—knowledgeable, patient, and the calming voice you need on the end of the phone. She understood exactly what I was looking for and, incredibly, found my dream property within 24 hours! Her calm and capable guidance made the negotiation process swift and stress-free. Most importantly, I found Terri to be truly trustworthy, which made all the difference when navigating the purchase from overseas. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent.
Super easy process which we were so grateful for.
Terri came to us with an offer that needed some work. She was able to get the result we wanted without any fuss or stress soon after this initial offer. We are so impressed with her approach. Definitely value her expertise.
Excellent
Sharon and Real Property are just that, real, real people that know how to treat their clients with honest good old fashioned respect. Sharon was a total pleasure to have as our agent.

Market Update July 2025
Halfway through the year, the market remains steady, reflecting similarities to last year. Year-to-date sales volumes are comparable to 2024, and average days to sell have slightly increased to just over 120 days. Buyers are taking their time to make decisions, often testing offers until they find vendors willing to engage. Most vendors in Kerikeri are carrying little debt on their properties and seem prepared to hold out, which contributes to a stable market and explains why Kerikeri’s median property prices have held up better than many other areas nationwide. A cautious approach from purchasers, banks, and insurers means that sellers with properties that are well-maintained, compliant, situated on non-hazardous land, and built with durable materials are finding it easier to sell at favourable prices. These sellers are proactively addressing issues, which positions them advantageously in the current market. First-time buyers remain active, alongside people relocating to Kerikeri from across New Zealand. Overall, the market shows promising signs of slow and steady growth for the remainder of 2025. Vendors who are willing to meet the market, invest in resolving outstanding issues, and present their properties in the best light are likely to enjoy quicker sales and more favourable prices. Remember, there's no bad time to take action—especially if you're buying and selling within the same market....
Market Update May 2025
The Kerikeri property market remains lively, with sales volumes up around 20% compared to last year. The average days to sell have increased to over 120 days, reflecting thoughtful buyer patience.

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!...
