In this softer market, with buyers less urgent in their purchasing, it is important to have an agent who manages any buyer interest closely.  There are a lot less sales in the market today than in previous years (450 per month to currently 230 per month on the North Shore) so both capturing the attention of any buyer and managing their interest is critical.

 

If you are selling, Ilse is a person you can trust to make recommendations that will ultimately result in sound strategies to ensure the maximum price is reached, and those sellers who are realistic with the current state of the market and price their house competitively are usually seeing homes sold more quickly.

 

When assessing your property's current market value there are many factors that need to be considered, including a detailed analysis of recent sales in your area, with special attention given to those sold within the last three months.

Although the media is awash with talk of median house prices for cities and suburbs, these are a reflection on a broad range of houses, often based on sales from two months or more previously and can be skewed by one or two large or small sales during times of little market activity. This is where talking to an experienced professional like Ilse, who is working in the market every day can help give you the edge.

 

A good real estate sales consultant may also have some knowledge of withdrawn or unsold properties and why they haven't sold, so since you can’t assess what you can't see, the first step in getting all the information is to get a professional real estate consultant in to look through your home. 

 

Ilse is there to make the process of buying or selling your house painless, professional and price maximising, so for more information on Harcourts Takapuna, real estate agents Belmont and Harcourts agents Takapuna please go to https://www.ilseevans.co.nz .
