upper hutt real estate

Hi folks,

As regular readers will know, I have been stating in recent times that the property market in Upper Hutt is extremely busy with more sales happening, properties not staying on the market long and combined with a historically low level of listings we are seeing property prices rise.  

But the question that I have been asked is why?

The answer is fairly simple and comes down to the net gain in immigration levels.

These are caused by a number of different factors, the first is that fewer people are leaving New Zealand, the second is that there are more Kiwis coming home and the 3^rd is that more non-native New Zealanders are moving here. Think of the huge population growth in Auckland that has gone on over the last few years, it was a matter of time before it spread to the rest of the country and this is what we are seeing now.

When you combine this with really low interest rates, a softening of the Loan Value Restrictions once again allowing buyers to buy with a 10% deposit as well as accessing their Kiwisaver and it becomes apparent that this current hot market might just be around for a while.
