Coastal and rural holiday home neighbourhoods have seen a sharp drop in buyer demand over the last few years and most vendors - especially absentee owners - who are serious about selling really have no option other than to appoint a good local agent.

The Warkworth lifestyle block market and the Omaha bach market are chalk and cheese and require tailored sales efforts to diverse buyer groups. Make sure you are represented by an agent with the appropriate marketing skill set and buyer contacts.
