Years of over subscription for SunGold licence and strong investment demand, didn’t happen this year. The amount of SunGold licence on offer was halved, down from 700ha in 2021 to 350 ha this year. Surprisingly it was not fully subscribed, with a total assigned area of 324 ha. Contrasting results with the 2021 SunGold release, 700 ha assigned with 1,500 ha tendered for. The median price for SunGold hit new heights with an increase of 46% from last season. A median price of $550,000/ha 2021 to $801,000 this year. Interestingly the minimum price paid, dropped a staggering 14% from $525,000 to $451,950/ha. With these contrasting results, you could conclude that there would be two... MORE

When we went into lock down back in August, I don’t think anyone would have thought we would still be in the situation we find ourselves currently, with it clearly going to get worse before it gets better. Some big calls have been made across the country with the cancellation of events, no more so than the cancellation of our local A & P show. A decision, I know wasn’t made lightly by the committee and one they would have lost plenty of sleep over. Non the less the right decision was made, and let’s hope we can have a bigger and better show in 2022. Leading into the traditional festive season and a time to reflect on the year gone by with family and friends. It may... MORE

There is a sombre mood in the office this week with the passing of John Von Pein, more affectionately known as JVP. He was well known and respected in the rural community being a rural real estate agent for over thirty years and prior to that a farmer at Tahunga. Although JVP hadn’t been selling real estate for the past couple of years he was still a regular in the office, sharing his wealth of experience with everyone, his knowledge was so vast he had forgotten more than most people know. I will miss our regular chats over a cup of tea and our trips on the road getting out an about with you. As we wind down through the levels of COVID19 and start to get back to some levels of... MORE

Selling the farm can be an emotional decision, The farm is more than simply a place of work, its most often your livelihood and family home combined. Often the farm has been in the family for several generations or more and it has formed the backbone of family wealth decisions. The family attachment to the land and district it is situated in often defines their identity, it part of who you are. All that emotion aside and with the knowledge that everything ultimately has a season, the obligation to simply “keep going” has to be put aside. In fact the next question often is will I do next? What might my neighbours think about these decisions... MORE

General confidence to invest in the rural real estate market as we wind into 2021 is incredibly positive. While the challenges that have been present for some time remain, particularly the uncertainly with environmental planning and bank credit, the market is responding, driven off the back of proven returns.This is reflected in the significant role our primary sector now plays in NZ’s economic recovery as other export sectors recalibrate post impact of COVID -19. In addition, extremely low bank deposits continue to drive investment from the city in favour of the country, notably horticulture.Demand for quality horticultural land will continue to outstrip supply – particularly...

Succession planning for a family farm is one of the most important things to have in place. Discerning farmers know that the day they take over the farm, is the day they start planning their own handover to the next generation. Fundamentally, in a previous generation, it was a simple process, when Mum and Dad were ready to retire the oldest son would take over the farm, with his siblings making do with other benefits or gifts, generally considerably lesser value. What was once deemed as the most appropriate path to pass a farm from one generation to the next. Today it is no longer considered reasonable and every family member requirement, within reason need to be more carefully accounted... MORE

As Covid19 hit us and we went into lockdown level 4, numerous economists were running around scare mongering that the property market was doomed are we were going to enter a major property recession. Hopefully all those economists have now found new careers and are somewhere in the provinces helping our economy by working in the primary industries picking fruit or in the meat processing plants. Almost on the day lockdown was announced the phones starting ringing and have not stopped yet. As people took stock of their investments and look to revaluate their futures. In uncertain times and with no end-date in sight, what is a better investment than land or bricks and mortar.With record low... MORE

How great is it that we have our annual Poverty Bay A & P show going ahead this week! Obviously with a lot of uncertainty this year and many A & P shows around the country being cancelled, it is fantastic that our show is going ahead in its normality.Being a rural agent, I know how important this event is for our rural and wider community, so it is great to be able to show my support and be a show sponsor. There are some feel good farming stories, and the most notable one at the show is the story about the sheep dubbed "Shrek 2", the elusive sheep that Rob Falkner has mustered up, is receiving huge media attention and can only help put a positive spin on farming and why sheep need...

As we head into spring there are no signs of the rural property market slowing down, the enquiry for farms is at an unprecedented level. Which, to be honest is a little surprising with all the compliance issues, that are being put on farmers going forward. There is strong demand for hill country land by all different sectors, with farming clearly being the number one sector enquiring now. With any industry it is all about supply and demand and this couldn’t be more true in the real estate sector, as can be seen in the local residential market there is a shortage of houses and a strong buying demand is helping drive that...

Ownership models for farming, in the way of equity partnerships is something I am very passionate about and something I have touched on before in a previous article “Changing Times”, I believe it is going to be very instrumental in helping good farming operators get into farm ownership and have some serious skin in the game. I think we can all agree that unfortunately the days of shearing sheep to work your way into a farm are behind us, a previous option that was highly successful for some motivated individuals. The make up of equity partners to form an entity to purchase a property and farm as partnership can take many different shapes in relation to... MORE

My focus is Hill Country farms of all sizes, though I also sell lifestyle properties, farmlets, flat land – anything that is rural I cover it. What is the largest and smallest property you have sold? The largest property I have sold to date is a Hill Country sheep and beef farm just over 1200 hectares, while the smallest is a 7-hectare lifestyle property, though that might have changed with a small lifestyle block around 1 hectare having gone under the hammer yesterday in Wairoa. What area do you cover? I cover the... MORE

Traditionally our farming ownership models have been family orientated, with ownership passed down to the next generation. This has been a model that has worked very well for generations. In current times this can prove to present challenges for all involved if proper succession planning has not been put into place. A lot of hard-working young men, used to be able to shear their way into farm ownership, which was a great achievement, although those days are almost 100% behind us. Ever-increasing land prices, as well as strong competition from other industries such as forestry and carbon, have put farm ownership out of reach for most hard-working farmers. The goal of most people... MORE
