1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: Now this is a weird one. Turns out a few 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Kiwis are actually buying houses on a whim. It's been 3 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: a survey by real estate dot co dot Nz and 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: it's asked participants if they'd ever ended up owning a 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: house that they first saw when they weren't thinking of buying. 6 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: Twenty four percent of people said yes they had. Eight 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: percent of people said that actually done it in the 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: past year. Rawden Christy is a realist, that agent and 9 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: with us. Now, Hey, Rawden good, Hello, how are you 10 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: very well? Thank you? Have you come across a case 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: like this? 12 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: God, you know, I would love these buyers to come 13 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: knocking on my door quite frankly, whim buyers. It's really 14 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 2: hard to get buyers over the line in this buyer's market. 15 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: But look, I think I think the reality is anyone 16 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: who's going out and suddenly decides are going to buy 17 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: a house is probably thinking about it, even subconsciously, because 18 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: it's just not the sort of thing you're going to 19 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: do with a second without a second thought, particularly in 20 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: the market the way it is today. There is so 21 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: much due diligence, there are so much regulation, there are 22 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: so much stuff you have to go through before you 23 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: actually sign in the bottom line on theotted line. Rather that, 24 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: I think, I don't know. I would find it very 25 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: hard to believe that there is a vast number of 26 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: people out there suddenly deciding to buy their biggest investment 27 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: without doing much homework. 28 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Well, what about this as an example? I just wonder 29 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: how broad it feels to me, like this is quite 30 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: a broad whoop side did at by mistake kind of 31 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: you know, definition of that. But what about this example 32 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: where somebody is just doom scrolling because they love to 33 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: look at house porn real estate porn, and they're just 34 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: doom scrolling. They go, oh my gosh, look their house 35 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: is actually affordable, maybe we should buy that. Would you 36 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: consider that would be I think technically I didn't mean 37 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: to buy it, but you're saying, in the back of 38 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: your mind, you're only on there because you actually do 39 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: want to buy it. 40 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 2: I think so, having said that, for for what you've 41 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: just described, though, does happen, and it's the most fantastic thing, 42 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: because that is a really emotional purchase. That's people who 43 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: are I don't know, it's a dream coming true, even 44 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: though they didn't realize they were having the dream until 45 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: they had it. Yeah, but so that does happen. But 46 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. The reason why they're doom scrolling 47 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: is because they probably are ready to maybe do something, 48 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: they just haven't wanted to admit to the fact they're 49 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: about to make the commitment. Do you do them scroll 50 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: all sorts of things. It would be ghastly to look 51 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: through my history. But yeah, no, I mean houses, absolutely, 52 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: you have to. We have to. We have to know 53 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: what's going on in the market, and the only way 54 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: we can do that is to make sure that we're 55 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: trying to get our head around as much as we 56 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: possibly can about listings, what's selling, what's not, what's changing, 57 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: methods of sale, et cetera. There's no doubt but this 58 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 2: idea of buying. Oh how's the market? Yeah, fantastic? Two 59 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: seven four, Yeah, couldn't be better? 60 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: Tell me the truth now. 61 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: Definitely seeing a lift in it, there's no I mean, 62 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: it's a wave. We're seeing a positive wave whether and 63 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: this is a stock related thing, supply and demand. At 64 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: the moment, the supply is just beginning to wave at 65 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 2: the demands on the way up. That will probably change 66 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: again in the spring and then again in the late summer, 67 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: but there's no doubt in the last two weeks we've 68 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: sold probably as many properties as we had the two 69 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: months before it, So we've seen a real uplift. Whether 70 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: changes back in a few weeks time, I don't know. 71 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: But winter, I reckon, is a key time to selling 72 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: when everyone assumes are we're not going to listen now, 73 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: so there's the supply drops off. The buyers are still 74 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: there even though buying on a whim, are still looking 75 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: in the middle of winter. 76 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: Rawdon do you know mechism? 77 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: I do? And I did see the article today about 78 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: him doing pretty much what I didst he went. He's 79 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: obviously been doing what I did, which is the sort 80 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: of speaking circuit and media stuff, and now he's decided 81 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: to sort of go for it, and I just wish 82 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: him the very best of luck. In fact, I was 83 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: thinking of flicking him a message to say, reach out, 84 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: give us a call if you want my experience, because 85 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: it's not an easy journey. But I can understand why 86 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: he's doing it. I'm pleased I did it. He's got 87 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: a hell of a good learning curve ahead of him. 88 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: What do you Reckon's the hardest thing about switching from Telly. 89 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: To real estate, controlling everything about your own life. Suddenly, 90 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: I think you know you are running your own business, 91 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: your time management. No one they're telling you you've got 92 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: a deadline of this or that, and you have to 93 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: you know, you know what it's like. Howether you know 94 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: you've got a prep a certain amount of material by 95 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: a certain time, you've got to present it and then 96 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: you're done until the next day or whatever this is. 97 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: You've got to be able to control your own life 98 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: to such an extent that you have to be incredibly 99 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: well organized. And that's probably the hardest thing I've found. 100 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, thank you, rud and I appreciate it. Watch out, 101 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: Mess's going to give you a call in a minute. 102 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: He'll have been listening Ruden Christy, real estate agent. 103 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: For more from Hither Duplessy Alan Drive, listen live to 104 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: news talks. 105 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: It'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow the podcast 106 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio.
