Lodge Real Estate - City

Knowing who your key buyers are (or will be) and what their needs are can affect the value the Hamilton housing market places on your property. Knowing your buyer also affects how, whether and when you decide to buy, sell or invest.

1. Hamilton Council community profiles

2. Hamilton growth indicator reports
Released every quarter, the Hamilton Housing Market and Economy Growth Indicator Reports contain a wealth of information for home sellers—and buyers—to sink their teeth into. In addition to providing a good overview of the Hamilton housing market for the quarter.

3. FigureNZ
Figure NZ pulls data from a host of partner organisations to provide Kiwis with simple, easy to find information on a variety of topics—including property. ABS, Statistics New Zealand, InternetNZ, the New Zealand Treasury, The Department of Internal Affairs and Chorus are just a few of their partners.

4. Your local real estate agent
On top of your own research, it’s always worthwhile getting in touch with your local real estate agent. A good agent will have done their research, are tuned to what local buyers want and can offer unique insights and analysis about their current behaviours—both at a suburb, and sometimes even street level.
