ldquoBeautify a room that is aspirational so buyers can see themselves living in itrdquo Janine King
27
Sumptuous bed linens in soft colours will make a potential home buyer want to sit back and relax Add cushions with a pop of colour to existing neutrals with this springrsquos tones of blue turquoise and yellow Quickly check before your open home to ensure coverings are smoothed down and pillows are fluffed up
Keep kitchen counters clear and add punches of colour with fresh fruit and seasonal flowers in crisp clean glass vases Stainless steel chattels help sell your home Remove fingerprints by rubbing down your dishwasher and fridge with baby oil and cotton wool pads (an old TV set staging trick)
Get creative with storage areas by adding a few wicker baskets as drawers inbuilt shelves maximise space for items used daily
Rearrange with the goal to visually lighten amp balance Keep heavy furniture away from the entry of each area by spreading the weight equally around the room Pull the couches 15cm out from the wall to create flow Include a glass top coffee table to create the effect of more space and remove window coverings altogether creating a more light and an architectural feel Adding a large floor rug will divide an open plan room
Improve your homersquos traffic flow How you move smoothly through your space has a big
effect on how big your home is perceived The movement should have a nice wide feel
to the path taking you through from each room to the next Declutter the entryway (no

Peter Thompsonrsquos Market ReportAuckland Housing Market puts Spring Lift
on Hold
With the approach of the General Election the Auckland housing market fell into a lsquowait and seersquo mode in August with the number of sales in the month falling by 75 percent to 909 and the average selling price falling by 11 percent to $711768
ldquoWith new listings for the month at 1129 a decline of 191 percent on those for July August was a quiet month in terms of activityrdquo said Peter Thompson Managing Director of Barfoot amp Thompson
ldquoThis was not unexpected as the market invariably goes quiet in the build up to General Elections
ldquoIt means the normal lift in market activity we see with the approach of spring is still some weeks off
ldquoCertainty will return post the election and the final three months of the year are likely to see greater activity than normal as the regular five-month springsummer pre-Christmas season is compressed into three months of trading
ldquoNew listings for the month were the lowest since December 2013 and the lowest in an August for four years
ldquoThe same trend was there for sales numbers with Augustrsquos sales being the lowest for four months and the lowest in an August for three years
ldquoThe average sales price was stable and has moved around in a $17000 band between $719000 and $702000 for five months During the month the busiest sector of the market was for homes selling for under $500000
ldquoA third (334 percent) of all the homes sold in August were for less than $500000 an increase of 52 percent over the number sold in July
ldquoSales in the million-dollar-plus price segment fell 118 percent in the month to 149 the lowest for four monthsrdquo

Peter Thompsonrsquos Market ReportAuckland Housing Market puts Spring Lift
on Hold
With the approach of the General Election the Auckland housing market fell into a lsquowait and seersquo mode in August with the number of sales in the month falling by 75 percent to 909 and the average selling price falling by 11 percent to $711768
ldquoWith new listings for the month at 1129 a decline of 191 percent on those for July August was a quiet month in terms of activityrdquo said Peter Thompson Managing Director of Barfoot amp Thompson
ldquoThis was not unexpected as the market invariably goes quiet in the build up to General Elections
ldquoIt means the normal lift in market activity we see with the approach of spring is still some weeks off
ldquoCertainty will return post the election and the final three months of the year are likely to see greater activity than normal as the regular five-month springsummer pre-Christmas season is compressed into three months of trading
ldquoNew listings for the month were the lowest since December 2013 and the lowest in an August for four years
ldquoThe same trend was there for sales numbers with Augustrsquos sales being the lowest for four months and the lowest in an August for three years
ldquoThe average sales price was stable and has moved around in a $17000 band between $719000 and $702000 for five months During the month the busiest sector of the market was for homes selling for under $500000

Home Staging has become increasingly popular with vendors Here Home Stager Janine King gives you some professional tips on what you can do yourself
Home Staging 101 by
Janine King
ldquoBeautify a room that is aspirational so buyers can see themselves living in itrdquo Janine King
27
Sumptuous bed linens in soft colours will make a potential home buyer want to sit back and relax Add cushions with a pop of colour to existing neutrals with this springrsquos tones of blue turquoise and yellow Quickly check before your open home to ensure coverings are smoothed down and pillows are fluffed up
Keep kitchen counters clear and add punches of colour with fresh fruit and seasonal flowers in crisp clean glass vases Stainless steel chattels help sell your home Remove fingerprints by rubbing down your dishwasher and fridge with baby oil and cotton wool pads (an old TV set staging trick)
Get creative with storage areas by adding a few wicker baskets as drawers inbuilt shelves maximise space for items used daily
Rearrange with the goal to visually lighten amp balance Keep heavy furniture away from the entry of each area by spreading the weight equally around the room Pull the couches 15cm out from the wall to create flow Include a glass top coffee table to create the effect of more space and remove window coverings altogether creating a more light and an architectural feel Adding a large floor rug will divide an open plan room
Improve your homersquos traffic flow How you move smoothly through your space has a big
effect on how big your home is perceived The movement should have a nice wide feel
to the path taking you through from each room to the next Declutter the entryway (no
hanging coats)
In small spaces only the things you access daily should be in full view Add fresh flowers and pops of colour to a neutral table setting with 2 matching vases and invest in similar toned matching cushions and paintings For further help contact Janine infomarketing-edgeconz

Peter Thompsonrsquos Market ReportAuckland Housing Market puts Spring Lift
on Hold
With the approach of the General Election the Auckland housing market fell into a lsquowait and seersquo mode in August with the number of sales in the month falling by 75 percent to 909 and the average selling price falling by 11 percent to $711768
ldquoWith new listings for the month at 1129 a decline of 191 percent on those for July August was a quiet month in terms of activityrdquo said Peter Thompson Managing Director of Barfoot amp Thompson
ldquoThis was not unexpected as the market invariably goes quiet in the build up to General Elections
ldquoIt means the normal lift in market activity we see with the approach of spring is still some weeks off
ldquoCertainty will return post the election and the final three months of the year are likely to see greater activity than normal as the regular five-month springsummer pre-Christmas season is compressed into three months of trading
ldquoNew listings for the month were the lowest since December 2013 and the lowest in an August for four years

Home Staging 101 by
Janine King
ldquoBeautify a room that is aspirational so buyers can see themselves living in itrdquo Janine King
27
Sumptuous bed linens in soft colours will make a potential home buyer want to sit back and relax Add cushions with a pop of colour to existing neutrals with this springrsquos tones of blue turquoise and yellow Quickly check before your open home to ensure coverings are smoothed down and pillows are fluffed up
Keep kitchen counters clear and add punches of colour with fresh fruit and seasonal flowers in crisp clean glass vases Stainless steel chattels help sell your home Remove fingerprints by rubbing down your dishwasher and fridge with baby oil and cotton wool pads (an old TV set staging trick)
Get creative with storage areas by adding a few wicker baskets as drawers inbuilt shelves maximise space for items used daily
Rearrange with the goal to visually lighten amp balance Keep heavy furniture away from the entry of each area by spreading the weight equally around the room Pull the couches 15cm out from the wall to create flow Include a glass top coffee table to create the effect of more space and remove window coverings altogether creating a more light and an architectural feel Adding a large floor rug will divide an open plan room
Improve your homersquos traffic flow How you move smoothly through your space has a big
effect on how big your home is perceived The movement should have a nice wide feel
to the path taking you through from each room to the next Declutter the entryway (no
hanging coats)
In small spaces only the things you access daily should be in full view Add fresh flowers and pops of colour to a neutral table setting with 2 matching vases and invest in similar toned matching cushions and paintings For further help contact Janine infomarketing-edgeconz

Peter Thompsonrsquos Market ReportAuckland Housing Market puts Spring Lift
on Hold
With the approach of the General Election the Auckland housing market fell into a lsquowait and seersquo mode in August with the number of sales in the month falling by 75 percent to 909 and the average selling price falling by 11 percent to $711768
ldquoWith new listings for the month at 1129 a decline of 191 percent on those for July August was a quiet month in terms of activityrdquo said Peter Thompson Managing Director of Barfoot amp Thompson
ldquoThis was not unexpected as the market invariably goes quiet in the build up to General Elections
ldquoIt means the normal lift in market activity we see with the approach of spring is still some weeks off
ldquoCertainty will return post the election and the final three months of the year are likely to see greater activity than normal as the regular five-month springsummer pre-Christmas season is compressed into three months of trading
ldquoNew listings for the month were the lowest since December 2013 and the lowest in an August for four years
ldquoThe same trend was there for sales numbers with Augustrsquos sales being the lowest for four months and the lowest in an August for three years
ldquoThe average sales price was stable and has moved around in a $17000 band between $719000 and $702000 for five months During the month the busiest sector of the market was for homes selling for under $500000
ldquoA third (334 percent) of all the homes sold in August were for less than $500000 an increase of 52 percent over the number sold in July
ldquoSales in the million-dollar-plus price segment fell 118 percent in the month to 149 the lowest for four monthsrdquo

Sumptuous bed linens in soft colours will make a potential home buyer want to sit back and relax Add cushions with a pop of colour to existing neutrals with this springrsquos tones of blue turquoise and yellow Quickly check before your open home to ensure coverings are smoothed down and pillows are fluffed up
Keep kitchen counters clear and add punches of colour with fresh fruit and seasonal flowers in crisp clean glass vases Stainless steel chattels help sell your home Remove fingerprints by rubbing down your dishwasher and fridge with baby oil and cotton wool pads (an old TV set staging trick)
Get creative with storage areas by adding a few wicker baskets as drawers inbuilt shelves maximise space for items used daily
Rearrange with the goal to visually lighten amp balance Keep heavy furniture away from the entry of each area by spreading the weight equally around the room Pull the couches 15cm out from the wall to create flow Include a glass top coffee table to create the effect of more space and remove window coverings altogether creating a more light and an architectural feel Adding a large floor rug will divide an open plan room
Improve your homersquos traffic flow How you move smoothly through your space has a big
effect on how big your home is perceived The movement should have a nice wide feel
to the path taking you through from each room to the next Declutter the entryway (no

Peter Thompsonrsquos Market ReportAuckland Housing Market puts Spring Lift
on Hold
With the approach of the General Election the Auckland housing market fell into a lsquowait and seersquo mode in August with the number of sales in the month falling by 75 percent to 909 and the average selling price falling by 11 percent to $711768
ldquoWith new listings for the month at 1129 a decline of 191 percent on those for July August was a quiet month in terms of activityrdquo said Peter Thompson Managing Director of Barfoot amp Thompson
ldquoThis was not unexpected as the market invariably goes quiet in the build up to General Elections
ldquoIt means the normal lift in market activity we see with the approach of spring is still some weeks off
ldquoCertainty will return post the election and the final three months of the year are likely to see greater activity than normal as the regular five-month springsummer pre-Christmas season is compressed into three months of trading
ldquoNew listings for the month were the lowest since December 2013 and the lowest in an August for four years
ldquoThe same trend was there for sales numbers with Augustrsquos sales being the lowest for four months and the lowest in an August for three years
ldquoThe average sales price was stable and has moved around in a $17000 band between $719000 and $702000 for five months During the month the busiest sector of the market was for homes selling for under $500000
ldquoA third (334 percent) of all the homes sold in August were for less than $500000 an increase of 52 percent over the number sold in July
ldquoSales in the million-dollar-plus price segment fell 118 percent in the month to 149 the lowest for four monthsrdquo
