Are property prices close to levelling out?
You may have read that property prices may have reached a bottom. This week I sold a property in the East Coast Bays after only 15 days on the market. The property was sold by Tender.
The Tender date was brought forward following an acceptable offer. There were then 11 offers on Tender Day.
With 23 registered buyers.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
