It has been another interesting year for the Settlement First National Real Estate as the volume of buyer looking for homes in the North Haven area has exploded, bringing great results that can only be described as impressive. As we have drawn a close to the Christmas rush we have seen a lot of property being sold throughout the North Haven and surrounding areas, and as we lead into the Easter period there has never been a better time to sell. This is all due to the lack of properties available, the increased volume of buyers trying to secure their own piece of paradise here in North Haven and the fact that our economy is on the way up. Everyone asks “so how are the interest rate rises effecting the market?” and the short answer is they aren’t! As they are still extremely low and because rental returns are still very much on the rise, most buyers haven’t been too concerned. There are a lot of people in the market looking to secure a home at a low interest rate and at a price, that to most, are representing great value, so the market place is a hive of activity. With offices in North Haven and Lake Cathie the team is perfectly positioned to service the whole area, and on the back of a fabulous 2009, we are looking forward to some exceptional results in 2010.
