The New Zealand Breakers are soon to contest for the first time the Australian National Basketball League finals. You can sure at each quarter timeout the coach and statistician will rattle off a blistering array of stats to identify where they must muscle up on ‘D’ (Defense) and exploit opportunities on offence.
Queenstown realtors also have the ability to analyse their game stats and so let’s share some baseline numbers.
- Scoreboard: Total property sales calendar year-to-date 2011 number 141 versus 140 last year
- Assists: Floating home mortgage rates of 5.6% in 2011
- Blocked Shots: A few Mortgagee Auctions still get cancelled at the 11th hour
- Slam Dunks: 13 residential sales + $1.0M in 2011 versus 5 sales 2010
- Free Throws: Land sold at Silent Auction at Jacks Point
- Zone Defense: Buyers sit tight on the baseline until the price makes sense
- Fast Breaks: Sub $600K dwellings (excluding Apartments) is the play to watch representing 65% of the sales year-to-date 2011 and 66% same period 2010
The franchise teams and independent realtor brands are hard at it playing one-one one with prospective buyers as the game clock ticks by in 2011.
Those that can pivot and change direction with speed to adapt their game plan on court will always prevail.
Go the New Zealand Breakers in the finals!
