| 87 Positive direction for housing market High performance homes create a superior indoor living environment. Platinum Homes Tauranga BUILDING Platinum Homes Auckland South T T to page 88 Managing Director of Platinum Homes Tauranga and Western Bay of Plenty Ramiro Lasry says the market is shifting in a positive direction after the uncertainties of last year, which had a lulling effect lasting 12 months or so. Two years ago, the situation was much more positive and Ramiro says he observed an improvement, an optimism in the residential build sector just prior to December. “It was a perfect storm we had been experiencing, with the election, interest rate hikes with the whole climate very weird for investors so people sat back and waited. The money for investment is there but people were, and are to a degree, still nervous.” He predicts that the next two or three months are going to be pretty tough still, however is buoyed by the sense that future sales are looking more promising. The opportunity to take up a Platimum Homes license came Ramiro’s way about four years ago and today runs the company with business partner Tracey Taylor. One of the things that attracted him to the brand was the relatively small size of the company at a national level. This, Ramiro says, lends it to feeling more like a family business. Platinum Homes Tauranga and Western Bay of Plenty extends its residential build activity from Pukehina Beach through to Waihi Beach and to the Kaimai ranges separating the Bay of Plenty from Waikato. Headquarters is based in Papamoa Beach, a thriving growing community between Mt Maunganui to the north and Te Puke, south.
