Hi

Are we into recovery mode? Recent economic indicators are in positive territory for the second consecutive quarter and migration numbers are ensuring demand for property remains strong.

Residential housing construction has already picked up over the first half of 2010 and is predicted to lift by 23% in 2011 as New Zealand's housing shortage continues.

In our recent survey of landlords, we found some interesting results. Only 1.7% said they are definitely exiting the property investment market. The large majority of investors said they will continue to be landlords and 21.4% said they will be buying more property.

Buyers have a slight edge over sellers with a solid number of listings and longer selling periods enabling investors to pick and choose the best deals and many are looking to take advantage of opportunities available now before the GST rise is imposed.

What's coming up?
With changes to tax announced in the Budget, investors’ bottom lines are going to be impacted and many are planning to pass the added costs directly onto tenants. We look at which strategies investors can use to successfully raise the rent without losing tenants. If you are a property manager this may be an ideal feature to leverage off of to generate new leads for your business.

We continue our mini series on how to dress your house to sell. This month we take a private seller's view. We cover the pros and cons of selling privately, how to deal with open homes, and which advertising options are effective.

We will have another budget update for readers, this time we turn our eye towards the impending GST changes. Plus our regular feature on maintenance looks at how small renovations done well can maximise your profits.

Every month we focus on one regional area and inform readers of what is happening in the market and why investors should or should not invest in that specific region; what potential it holds, currently and over the long term. In August we turn our attention to Dunedin.
