Kirstin Little has been trying to sell her Waiheke Island home for more than 6 months without a single offer.
“It’s very demoralising. There’s something really weird going on in Waiheke. Things are not moving,” she says. “Houses are just being left to rot on the proverbial vine.”
“I hear people say ‘oh, stupid people who bought in 2021’ and it hurts, because that’s not me at all.”
After waiting almost a decade for a relationship property settlement to finally come through, Little bought a 3 bedroom, 2019 build in Waiheke Island’s popular Palm Beach for $1.31 million in 2021.
She says advice at the time was she needed to get in immediately because the market would keep rising. And it did, for another few months.
