Autumn Newsletter 2025

Welcome

We received the Indian summer that I had hoped for, making March and much of April a delight.

Real estate market prices have remained stable with more properties being listed and a good number of buyers showing interest.

In this newsletter we look at the latest market statistics. I introduce a range of houses for sale in Papamoa Beach with leasehold tenures for the 50+ market along with an article that discusses the different types of tenure available with some more unusual ones becoming common for tiny houses.

As always, I am keen to hear from you if you have a property that will suit our 50+ market. If it is a property that also suits other age groups then we will market it through our Independent Agent brand with additional marketing tailored to our 50+ clients.

Enjoy the beautiful colours of Autumn as we head into Oodie and open fire season.

Warm wishes

Vanessa
