According to an article on the Landlord Website there was a 19% increase in listings in September 2009.  This could be attributed to the 'Spring Fling' however with prices increasing and vendor expectations of prices increasing we do see and increase in consumer confidence.

Of course there is talk of Capital Gains Tax - the government and their media team are 'chip... chip... chipping' away at that one with various media releases and statements, but that doesn't seem to have dampened the rise in prices or buyer activity going on.

Mortgagee sales continue to rise especially in Auckland and in the most part with investors.  If you are struggling with payments please call me first - we may be able to sort out a plan to svae your house from the bank...
