New Zealand tenants have more choice right now, so first impressions count.⁣
⁣
The market’s slowed, tenants are staying put, and the ones looking are comparing your place against three or four others on the same Saturday.⁣

Our latest blog covers the small upgrades that make them want to choose your rental (link in comments).

Not being able to make a viewing shouldn't be the reason you miss out on your next home. Let us know and we'll send you a virtual tour just like this one, or FaceTime you through the place ourselves.

Nothing makes you rethink self-managing your rental quite like a long weekend...Rentsmart landlords and tenants, we're a phone call away if anything urgent comes up. Enjoy it!

Every property manager will tell you what you want to hear. Fewer will tell you what’s actually true.⁣
⁣
Appraise high, win the listing, then quietly walk the number back once the property’s actually on the market. It’s an old trick. The listing sits, open homes go quiet and someone suggests dropping the rent just to get interest. By then you’ve already signed. Most owners blame a slow market, not the number that got them through the door.⁣
⁣
Every appraisal we give is built from what’s actually renting in your area, real achieved rents, filtered by district, reflecting today’s market rather than last year’s. Read why that matters on our blog (link in comments).

FOR RENT | 408 Park Road South, Akina

We’re not ones to pick favourites, but when little gems like this come along, we can’t help making a bit of a fuss. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, great outdoor living and plenty of character. Basically, it’s got Hawke’s Bay summer written all over it.

Head over to Trade Me for the full rundown or flick Ruth a text on 022 307 3903 to arrange a viewing.

We often get asked what to look for when buying an investment property. So we asked Ruth, who's seen a few.

1. Location. Close to schools and town. With fuel costs what they are, tenants are counting the kilometres.

2. Presentation. Would you live in it yourself?

3. Garaging. Hardly anyone parks a car in there anymore, but tenants love the storage. Or a home gym they'll definitely use.

4. Fully fenced. Instantly more appealing to families and pet owners, with added privacy too.

5. Mod cons. Heat pumps, dishwashers, double glazing and good water pressure. Tenants notice.

6. Low maintenance. Most tenants don't want to spend every weekend weeding.

7. Younger homes. That charming villa could be costly to maintain and bring up to Healthy Homes standards.

8. Warm and sunny. Power bills are a big expense for tenants, so a home that's easy to heat goes a long way.

9. Added value. Is there room to renovate or subdivide down the track?

10. The numbers. It's harder to find a rental that pays for itself these days, but it still needs to make sense. Ask us for a free rental appraisal and run your numbers properly.

Thinking about raising the rent, buying a rental or just curious? September's Hawke's Bay numbers are a good place to start. Take a read on the blog (link in comments).

$626. That's what the average Hawke's Bay rental went for each week in September. If you'd rather know the facts than guess what's happening with Hawke's Bay rents, our monthly stats email has the full breakdown.
