This is a brilliant location, a substantial home and generous section -

Crikey there are more mortgagee listings in Levin – in itself this is an alarming statement!

Lets look a bit deeper at the data (as per www.realestate.co.nz on 8 May 2009):

• The total residential listings in Levin is at a level of 423 across all residential property types
• There are 5 mortgagee listings in Levin which is about 1.2% of the Levin Market
• The mortgagee properties available consist of one 1 Bedroom property at 5 Sherwood Place (25% of the four 1 bedroom properties on the market) and  four 3 bedroom properties (4 Monarch Mews, 6 Monarch Mews, 5 Derby St and 22 Mabel St) which is 1.8% of all 3 bedroom prperties

As a Harcourts Levin Sales and Marketing Specialist its very pleasing to see Harcourts are dominating the Auction listings in Levin as they are statistically more likley to sell any Levin property right now. April had 25 Levin Residential Property Sales which was approximately 6% of all Levin Properties achieving success. Harcourts Levin auctions are converting 10-11 times more frequently.

HOT NEWS:

4 Monarch Mews www.masonparker.co.nz/monarch4 and 6 Monarch Mews www.masonparker.co.nz/monarch6 auctions are days away on 13 May 2009.

5 Sherwood Place – just listed see it here - Auction 12.00 Noon 10 June 2009 in Levin

Research is showing that 95 % of all property purchasers are utilising the internet and according to a major independent Real Estate website the number one phrase used in searching for property is the word “mortgagee.” However we have made it easy for you as our latest mortgagee sales are found here

Last month I mentioned that buyers are re entering the market place.  It is interesting looking at the national statistics which show 3706 sales in January (must be the lowest on record) then 5208 in February and now 6694 in March. About 1000 more than March last year.

Investor buyers and entry level buyers have re-entered the market on mass where there is real value for money.  Therefore, if you see something on the list that appeals do not wait to see what happens as the environment has changed over the past six months.

New to the market is an estate sale in popular Sunset Terrace at Waikanae Beach. Great buying in this location and a mortgagee sale in Levin at 5 Derby Street and an estate sale at 103 B Winchester Street.

In Gracefield, Lower Hutt we have a one bedroom ground floor attached unit situated at 121 C Bell Road – this could be the cheapest property you buy for a while.

Today  listed two properties on www.trademe.co.nz/property

Two Mortgagee Sales on 13 May 2009:

1. 4 Monarch Mews www.masonparker.co.nz/monarch4
2. 6 Monarch Mews www.masonparker.co.nz/monarch6

I am testing www.harcourts.co.nz  VS www.realestate.co.nz VS www.trademe.co.nz/property

You can see the www.trademe.co.nz listing by clicking here

I’ll be keen to get feedback whether you find the listings easier to find on www.trademe.co.nz

There has been a lot of anecdotal eveidence suggesting mortgagee as a Keyword draws more searches from buyers.

After listing 4 and 6 Monarch Mews as ligitimate Mortgagee Sales I would have to agree.

Comparing 4 Monarch Mews harcourts hits to other Harcourts listings – the traffic around the two listings at 4 and 6 Monarch Mews is significantly higher – even when compared to other auction listings.

Funnily enough though the current trends indicate that the mortgagee spike might be flattening – Alistair Helm makes a good reference here

Traffic through 4 and 6 Monarch Mews has been strong and the modest marketing package applied is certainly working to good effect with both strong web traffic and foot traffic through the Sunday 1 to 1.30 open homes.

This week I listed two mortgagee auctions for two BRAND NEW properties in exclusive Monarch Mews off Queenwood Road, Levin.

You can see them online at http://www.realestate.co.nz/offices/3517/agents/19404 

Two lovely properties with brilliant features including ensuites, studies, internal access double garage, low maintenance brick, aluminium joinery and colour steel tile roofs.

They are in a great location – being within easy walk of well-respected Fairfield School.

This is an opportunity not to be missed – two or maybe one very lucky buyer will secure two briliant homes for less than build cost.

Come along to the 1.00pm Sunday Open Homes  and do your research before 13 May comes around – it will come quickly.

I’ll update this post when I have uploaded my videotour.
