What does this mean for you?

Min Sarginson Real Estate is a local agency that specialises in property in and around Lyttelton, Cass Bay, Governors Bay, Charteris Bay, Church Bay, Diamond Harbour, Purau and Port Levy and certain suburbs of Christchurch city.  We have a long history in these areas of selling homes to both happy buyers and sellers. Our local knowledge in real estate in these bays is second to none. 

It is now officially winter and we are steadily eating our way through June already.  The budget is a thing of the past and delivered us fairly much what we were given to expect. Some of the tax advantages of property as investment are to be removed as of 1 April 2011 however in my opinion this does not preclude property as a sound and worth while investment in the line up of investment options available.  As always take professional advice before making any such decisions. We are seeing property continue to be considered as an investment both by beginner and experienced property owners.  Some are choosing to now consider taking a closer look at owned portfolios and weed out those not performing as well as others and those which will require substantila maintenance.

Let those properties go to the first home buyers in the market place.  A word for those of you considering buying your first home. Maybe you should lower your sights? Don't expect to get everything on your wish list immediately. In other words don't expect to love your first home!  Treat it as a stepping stone to the one you will love and stay in forever.

Our sales people are ever ready to take you through the process of buying or selling in an easy, friendly and painless way.

Where is this?

Port Lyttelton

Lyttelton is a thriving portside community with a real buzz offering a cosmopolitan mix of townspeople and a real selection of cafes and restaurants run by internationally experienced restrateurs who now call Lyttelton home.  Well travelled ex-pats inevitably find their way through the tunnel or over the hill and instantly see the similarity to what they have left behind without the crush and sqeeze of a population of millions. They see the opportunity to live by the sea or beachfront so close to Christchurch(NZ) and are quick to investigate.

The Lyttelton farmers market on Saturday mornings has become a convivial meeting place for locals and city folk, as well as the place to go for delicacies and freshness not found elsewhere. It is a true farmers market as they are intended to be.  You will be welcomed by the sea air as you come through the tunnel from Christchurch (NZ).

The Bay Communities

The beautiful and picturesque seaside communities of Cass, Governors, Charteris and Purau Bays are safe havens for families as is Diamond Harbour with a choice of two excellent primary schools.  The scenic rural areas which separate these pretty communities offer the beauty and seclusion of a rural lifestyle.  The opportunity can arise where these properties have beachfront access or access to the many and varied walking tracks available in the harbour close to the sea and city.

How do I get There..?

You can choose to drive the scenic road into or from  Christchurch New Zealand either via the winding route over the Port Hills enjoying the amazing views on the way or through the Lyttelton tunnel. There is an excellent ferry service leaving from the Lyttelton wharves and the Diamond Harbour wharf run by Blackcat ferry service. Christchurch city buses will take you right into the city centre.

Where would you like to play..?

Charteris Bay has the prettiest 9 hole golf course, Orton Bradley Park is a perfect weekend destination, the beaches are many and varied, moorings are available at Diamond Harbour, Church Bay  and Purau Bay.  You can sail on the harbour, walk in the hills, cycle the roads or bike the mountain bike tracks. There's something for everyone. Or the sea and hill views will entertain and relax you while you sit and do nothing.

Life is for living... do it now...do it properly.

As in any market conditions it is important to  get advice from the proper professionals  when planning future property changes then call our people today and see what is for sale.

As always our experienced sales people have the expertise to comment on any local property matters and are available to help with your enquiries.

We're in this neighbourhood for good.
