Deals in Christchurch City Centre

Christchurch

A natural disaster can change a city or town’s dynamic in ways that were previously unimaginable and that’s certainly what’s happened in Christchurch.

Seven years out from the shake in September 2010 and the much more deadly and destructive earthquake of February 2011, a lot of the housing that was marked with a red sticker in the aftermath has been replaced with new-builds, superior in quality to the destroyed properties. These owners are settling in, finally, with thoughts of selling far from their minds.

Additionally, most owners of repairable dwellings are also now back in their homes and many of the hundreds of tradespeople and associated rebuild workers who moved in immediately after the quake have finished what they started, and left the city.

Interestingly, in January, Christchurch City Centre was the most searched South Island location on Trade Me Property, with 8000 searches. There’s clearly no lack of interest in the local market – just a notable lack of action.
