Whether you are looking to get out of the renting lifestyle, find your first family home or expand your property portfolio, there is ample opportunity in New Zealand's biggest city to invest in real estate. A great place to invest is South Auckland where property prices aren't too high, and the room for development is great. Looking for and through open homes in Auckland is the best way to discover your likes and dislikes and create 'your must' list. </p><p> The most important part of the property purchasing process is finding a house in your budget and making sure the house fits your needs. Looking through open homes does take time so it pays to have some good strategies in place before you begin your search. </p><p> Firstly consider what part of South Auckland you are interested in, for instance Manukau City might be close to your work, schools or family and may be the place that you would consider living, however there are many suburbs within the city so it's beneficial to refine your search. If you aren't familiar with the area take a drive around the different suburbs and districts and make a list of the areas that you like and why. </p><p> Once you have your list of areas, open homes can be sought out through a number of different sources. Real estate magazines have been a staple of the New Zealand property market for years, many sellers and real estate agents choose to list in them because of their popularity. As technology advances and the use of the Internet becomes more widespread, it's become popular to list online, with most homes for sale and open home information being listed on the Internet in some form. When looking at open homes, I like to make a list of the things that I want and the things that I need from the property, start with the 'must haves' which usually include the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, indoor/outdoor living and possibly the size of the garage then have a 'would be nice' list which could be things like an en-suite bathroom and spa bath It helps to know what things are the crucial things and which aren't so much. </p><p> Other criteria could be whether the property requires work to be done on it and if so, how much. Check items like the paintwork, guttering, heating, insulation, plumbing etc. Unexpected renovations can end up pushing your investment far past your expectations. Inspecting a house during an open home gives you a little more time to have a good look around and you can sometimes get ideas from other buyers. </p><p> At just about all open homes in New Zealand you will be expected to sign the register, this was set up for two reasons - one is for security and the other is so the real estate agent can contact you for your feedback about the property. Your feedback is not only important to the vendor but it also means the agent might be able to suggest another property they have on their books. </p><p> Attending open homes gives you valuable information about your likes and dislikes about a property and real estate firms are often willing to help you seek out the best open homes, and can also help with building inspections <a href="https://www.home247.co/%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%94-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3/" alt="เช่าคอนโด จตุจักร">เช่าคอนโด จตุจักร</a> and property advice.
