| 10 | Houses selling within a week unconditional with multiple offers in Hamilton. alfa13 - 2020-12-14 05:48:00 |
| 11 | Yes houses are selling fast, but that doesn't answer the OPs question. sparkychap - 2020-12-14 08:17:00 |

| 13 | I see you're in Tauranga. If the house is in Tauranga, in good condition and correctly priced it should not take 3 months to sell. Last Thursday Eves sold 22 in their auction room. These all had 3 - 4 week marketing campaigns. None were what I'd call a bargain and the stock level of homes on the market is very low. It's a sellers market. Are their price expectations too high? carstauranga001 - 2020-12-14 08:36:00 |

| 15 | I hear what you all are saying, as I have said not my house, but begining to think something is not quite right. think they should change agent ,and I cant really put too much here. just think its strange its not sold and the agent for it lives next to it, owner is older person. pearlypearl - 2020-12-14 10:14:00 |
| 16 | Depends where it is. What is putting off the potential purchasers? Flood area, building construction - poor building reports, other LIM reason, future development - might have an adverse impact. Busy road - that is going to get worse. serf407 - 2020-12-14 10:27:00 |
| 17 | What part of Tauranga is it in? carstauranga001 - 2020-12-14 10:45:00 |

How many offers have been received? In this market with a reputable agent like Tremains there's really only one explanation; unrealistic price expectations. johnston - 2020-12-22 14:48:00 |
| 24 | How does the current asking price compare to the appraisal? johnston - 2020-12-22 14:49:00 |
| 25 | A friend of mine who wife is with a middle size law firm, she says that there is pressure on them to have lawyers available on at least Saturday if not also Sunday so that S & P's can be "processed via a lawyer" in a hurry to get an offer on the table before some other potential buyer... people are worried they may miss out if they delay things too long !!! Gone are the days where lawyers worked "gentlemens hours" and were unavailable on Fridays because that was golf day ! onl_148 - 2020-12-22 15:55:00 |
| 26 | Possible the agent has forgotten to advertise it anywhere. Have a look on there window or ask about it. Has it got a sign outside, Get them to take you through it and see what they have to say and have a think about why you dont buy it make a day of it and get them to show you some similar price houses, maybe use a spare phone number cause they might phone you late at night to let you know deadline for offers is tomorrow. ash4561 - 2020-12-23 00:11:00 |
| 27 | Out of the ten houses I counted with a 'For sale' sign out front, in Invercargill Umm, the 'house is next to the Real estate agents'. marte - 2020-12-23 05:50:00 |

| 29 | Being a neighbour i would be pretty concerned that the real estate agent might see an opportunity to buy and the next thing you know you have double story apartment blocks with all tenants that make noise and worse. I would look into buying it if i was you or see if something dodgy is going on. ash4561 - 2020-12-23 12:47:00 |

| 32 | A back house near me has been on sale for 6 months at least, at $900,000.Its got no views and is surrounded by high hedges. Just a normal house . androth2 - 2020-12-23 19:47:00 |
| 33 | Strange the agent has moved out now and that house is empty and has been for about 2 weeks. thought it would be snapped up for anther rental. pearlypearl - 2021-01-06 14:40:00 |
| 34 | I'm of the same opinion as #29 - both houses have already been sold to the same buyer; and there's no obligation to remove the For Sale sign or put a "Sold" sticker on it - those courtesies are optional. I doubt the Real Estate agent would be stupid enough to put his name as the buyer AND the sales agent, rather they'd get a patsy to do this for an undeclared commission. gyrogearloose - 2021-01-06 16:42:00 |

There's a bit of a conflict of interest perhaps though... The agent should know better. mechnificent - 2021-01-06 16:52:00 |

| 40 | I'm pretty sure the real estate institute would think it was a conflict of interest for him/her to be selling the house next door to their own.. It's not professional to put yourself in a situation where the question could be raised. That's what professionalism is all about.. being above question. mechnificent - 2021-01-06 19:46:00 |
| 41 | Ah I’ve not criticised at all just stated a fact, so pull your head in Sparkychap. pearlypearl - 2021-01-06 19:47:00 |

It wasn't a discussion. You engaged in wild speculation that the agent was being picky about who will live in the property while not possessing any material facts. Edited by johnston at 8:16 pm, Wed 6 Jan johnston - 2021-01-06 20:15:00 |

As has been explained, there could be various reasons. It could be a leaker, or the perception of buyers is that it's a leaker. Or it could be over-priced. Or maybe the seller is testing the market and doesn't really want to sell. Or maybe a murder was once committed there, which is putting buyers off. Or maybe it's a P house. The list goes on. committed - 2021-01-07 07:15:00 |
| 50 | Also there are 445 properties for sale in Tauranga (according to TM). Many were listed in November, and at least one was listed in May 2020. Clearly, not all properties are selling quickly. committed - 2021-01-07 07:31:00 |
