2024 will be at tricky year to navigate

Let’s hope that this year does not mirror the tumultuous start of 2023, marked by cyclones and market uncertainty as market conditions have a direct bearing on the property’s market value. Economic predictions and their outcomes, and impacts, specifically on the property market, remain an exercise in crystal ball gazing.

Valuing Cyclone Recovery

The 14th of February 2023 will go down in local history as one of the worst natural disasters to hit our region as Hawke’s Bay endured the fury of Cyclone Gabrielle. The unprecedented level of devastation and loss faced by the community in the aftermath has been immense. The primary

The value in being prepared

You would need to be living under a rock in New Zealand if you did not realise the property market is running hot. Against all the predictions and crystal ball gazing buying, selling and developing property went into overdrive as soon as we got out of lockdown last year. Initially,

The increasing value of ‘SOMO’

The post lockdown activity levels and value growth throughout 2020 was a surprise to all, especially as it was contrary to what most experts and economists predicted. The performance of the residential market during the last quarter of 2020 was simply staggering. Hawke’s Bays’ residential housing values grew 19% during

Valuing up

The last time I wrote an article for The Profit was about a month after we had got back into the office after ‘Alert Level 3’. As I wrote at the time “So ….. where to from here? If I had a dollar for each time I was asked what
