Every month I'm surprised at the amount of investment properties that we are selling to clients who live outside of the Canterbury area, particularly clients from the North Island and Kiwis living overseas. I know I shouldn't be, because when I think of Christchurch as a city and the growth that is occurring, it must naturally seem an attractive option for these people. Property prices must also appear to be cheap to them. Investment homes are such an important part of our business, and we recognize the fact that the homes we are building are not just for investment buyers, but for any new home buyer in the market. We don't build investment homes!! We build high quality homes, there is a big difference. There is no doubt in my mind that anyone who brought an investment home from us in the last four years has done extremely well and good on you. Oh and before I forget, Happy Mothers Day to all those Mothers out there and especially to my Mum. I hope you get to enjoy a lazy Sunday.
