According to REINZ Chief Executive Jen Baird, while the market remains subdued, there is a noticeable rise in positivity and confidence that things will continue to improve as we approach the end of the year. Despite lingering challenges such as the cost of living, many believe that the downward trend of interest rates will lead to a gradual recovery as we move into 2025.💰🏘️

Tauranga City Median Price
Sep-24 $890,000
Aug-24 $850,000
Sep-23 $875,000

Tauranga City Sales

Owner-occupiers and first home buyers were the most active buyer groups, with early enquiry from investors and retirees in Tauranga. Most vendor expectations were realistic and willing to meet market expectations. Others were still a bit optimistic and hoped for higher prices. Attendance at open homes improved, as those attending were well-researched buyers ready to transact as interest rates declined and the weather improved.☀️

We have a Spring Special especially for you! 🌸
Our selling fee is 2.5% incl GST

🌙 Struggling to catch quality Zzzs? 😴
In today's fast-paced world, a good night's sleep is essential for your overall #healthandwellbeing.
Here are 3 secrets to help you drift off into dreamland:

1️⃣ Light exposure matters! ☀️ Your body's internal clock craves natural light to regulate. Get outside daily to sync your body's rhythm – sorry, peeping through a window won't cut it!

2️⃣ Skip the late caffeine fix! ☕️ While tempting, it might sabotage your sleep. Try decaf, herbal teas, or warm lemon water instead. You'll need less caffeine if you're soaking up daylight regularly!

3️⃣ Move and unwind! 🚶‍♀️ Sedentary jobs and screen time can disrupt sleep. Take a stroll, indulge in a post-dinner bath, read a book, or enjoy tech-free chats in dim lighting. Create a cozy ambiance to wind down.

😊 Give these simple changes a go for more rejuvenating sleep. It might take time to adjust, but the refreshed mornings will make it worth it! 💤💫
