While the real estate market had an enforced slowdown over lockdown, the first weekend of open homes shows things appear to be getting back to normal.
Jamin Marshall, sales manager Harcourts Merivale in Christchurch, says his team met early this morning, and noted that every open home had between eight and 10 groups through each day, although never more than 10 people at any one time, as per the Level 2 rules. And the firm is seeing results.
“We have already had pre-auction offers received this morning, including a couple of multi-offer situations. Another couple have advised us this morning they will be presenting an offer today.”
