    Well duh, of course I am that's why I don't have to work.
    It seems nobody grasps the concept of having more money than you know what to do with, which is understandable.
    , I'm actually using it as an asset based platform to store my cash reserves in and get sufficient return
    Putting it in the bank & hoping for the best is hardly very smart.
    It's also so I can have a nice new, not for business purposes workshop, so I can tinker with & store my collection of cars & bikes at leisure, while occupying an appreciating asset.

    Well that's exactly my point.

    You're all in it for the same reason - simply to try to increase your wealth.

    And yes sadly there will be another influx of people trying to earn a crust. If you see me wearing a red coat. Don't ask.

    PS just reading the May issues of CMM. June advertises coming mag with a tasty looking MV you might be interested in seeing.
    i don't like the morals of real estate agents but when they show people through houses they get an idea of what is right for them and giude them to other properties. i hate using them but have found that they serve a purpose., selling privately rarely works out best unfortunately.

    Worked fine for me. I paid for a valuation from a registered valuer who based thier number on recent house sales in the area and compared those houses. Expert opinion from someone with no skin in the game or bias. Present that document to prospective buyers and everyone feels like they are paying/receiving a fair price.

    I didn't want lots of buyers. One was enough as long as the price was good. And I saved 3.5% of the value of the house on fees and trumped up advertising.

    Heck this was pre Trademe houses and using a self designed sign $80 from sign place and a couple of cheeky home made ones.

    I'd do it again no question.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    so why do second hand car dealers exist if trademe is so all encompassing?

    lots of buyers get lots of offers, i work for a property flipper and recently he was getting $30-$50k more than expecting for houses, down to those pesky real estate agents simply.

    2nd hand car dealers? For the lazy and nervous. That was easy.

    However.
    This market is something I am not experienced in, I'll keenly admit. But the media tells us that demand is still outstripping supply, so yeah prices I'd expect would be hard to pick. I'm not any sort of expert and your client probably is.

    I just don't trust an agent to be competent when volume gets him way more money than negotiating the best deal.

    Prior to COVID, demand was pushing up prices.

    Now people are out of jobs, or nervous about losing their jobs, or concerned about their 'investments' having plummeted in value, or anxious about the election, or petrified of a resurgence of COVID-19 or the emergence of COVID-20 ... or ....

    Nervousness stops or slows investment and 'change' in general. Estate agents now have to work harder for a living - selling on behalf of the vendors.

    wait till there's a flood of rentals on the market from people who thought they were wealthy having rentals but in reality don't have anything up their sleeve for a downturn....

    USA but delivery time will be random.
    NZ dealership will be next year when they've filled a container and it sails around the globe three times
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
