To The Market - Dunedin Property Update.
By Denise Casey
836 properties for sale in Dunedin. Is this good news or bad news?
That’s up from just 700 this time last year, so fantastic news for buyers, particularly first-home buyers, who are spoilt for choice right now. For sellers? Your home has more competition so get presentation spot on and make sure you price correctly into the market or risk sitting unsold.
SO, WHAT’S THE MARKET DOING?
Dunedin is holding its own against a softer national market. September property values dipped just 0.1% locally, compared with 0.3% nationally, while Auckland and Wellington fell 0.5% and 0.7% respectively (Cotality).
With the 7 November election approaching, some buyers may be sitting on their hands, but here’s the thing: well-presented, realistically priced homes in popular Dunedin suburbs are still attracting serious competition, often with multiple offers.
SOME CRACKING NEW LISTINGS THIS WEEK
2 Fraser St, Roseneath: A rare harbourside bargain. Two bedrooms, sold ‘as is, where is’.
25 Jellicoe Crescent, Kaikorai: A banging first home. Spacious, move-in ready, three bedrooms and easy-care grounds.
75 Gilkison St, Halfway Bush: A real tick-box three-bedroom home in a super-popular street. Get in line.
17 Ensor St, Burnside: Sunny, three bedrooms and loads of potential to add value.

MY MESSAGE TO SELLERS?
Don’t confuse more listings with a lack of buyers. The right homes, presented beautifully and priced strategically, are still achieving terrific results.
Thinking of upsizing, downsizing or making a move before Christmas? There’s still time to make it happen, and I’d love to help you get a cracking result.
Have a terrific weekend, Dunedin.
