Amber Haddock "Hotel Operator Planning up to $50 Million investment in New Zealand"

The article posted by the New Zealand Herald forecasts about how an overseas hotel business is planning on investing $40-$50 Million dollars a year for 7-8 new properties in New Zealand. This will be a very good investment for New Zealand as it will result in strengthening the property market and therefore will have a return effect and may take the ease off first time home buyers.

The investors want to look into regions in New Zealand such as Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, on the West Coast and Queenstown. "Choice does not intend to have new properties developed for it but instead wants to take over existing properties via a franchising arrangement" (Fraser).

Main focus point featured in the article: Investors bring money into the New Zealand property market could mean good things for future house purchases.

This article relates to Welly Real-estate in that it is evidence towards future stability for the property market.

Advise for Welly Real estate would be to keep a close eye on the lower end of the market and to keep monitoring prices on the lower scaled end of the property market as there could be a flow on effect that as the property market becomes stronger then the prices may start to steady out and those people wanting to break into the property market with minimal funds and criteria for lending will be able to do so.
