With intense focus on Queenstown family homes for sale in the $650,000 -$850,000 price range it’s easy to forget the sales activity beyond the $1.0m price point. These numbers even surprised me.

• January and February 2016 the number of residential home sales above $1.0m presented 43% of the total.
• January and February 2015 the number of residential home sales above $1.0m represented 21.2% of the total.
• Data Source: REINZ sales does not include apartments, units and townhouses

It’s really great when our vendor customers get that first impressions count when it comes to the presentation of their homes for sale. Of course it helps as in this instance if the owners were already house proud and that giving the lawns a once over and cleaning the windows was all it took to get market ready.

1 Cone Peak Close is neat-as-a- pin and represents a family home worth the wait that you won’t have to pay a million dollars to move on in.
