Investor Insights: Why Now is the Perfect Time to Buy in the Far North

The Far North region is gaining traction among property investors. Recent trends indicate a stabilising market after a period of adjustment, making this an opportune time for investors. The area's property market has seen a decline in prices, which could signal a favourable entry point for buyers looking to capitalise on future gains.

Kerikeri, the largest suburb in the Far North, offers a variety of residential options, from modern homes to lifestyle properties, making it attractive for diverse investment strategies. The rental market here remains strong, with rental yields typically higher than in major urban centers, reflecting high demand for quality rental properties.
