70 | DEVELOPMENT Mike Greer Homes - Mid Canterbury: Strowan Fields T T Rosa Watson Fixed-price packages popular choice Mike Greer Homes has several house and land packages available at the Strowan Fields development. A large residential development in Ashburton is helping go some way to providing much-needed quality homes for the growing region. Mike Greer Homes has several house and land packages available at the Strowan Fields development, ranging from $679,000 to $899,000, and section size from 550m2 to 800m2. Mike Greer Homes Mid Canterbury owner Andrew Reeves said these catered to all sectors of the market, from first home buyers to investors and those taking the next step in their housing journey. “As we offer fixed price packages and include landscaping within our contracts, clients have the peace of mind that the price they sign at contract will be the price they pay at completion.” With tight lending restrictions and high interest rates, Andrew said clients and banks were looking for either completed turnkey packages or fixed price home and land packages. “All our packages are offered at a fixed price, which has led to enquiry rates remaining high. We have also noticed ... many people from out of the region realising the cost saving and lifestyle benefits associated with moving to regional New Zealand. Ashburton offers all the benefits of regional New Zealand while still being only 40 minutes to our second largest city and international airport, and a gateway to the beauty of the rest of the South Island.” He said Stages 1 and 2 of the development sold “incredibly well”, with the 15 packages that were available all sold well before titles were issued. “Many of these homes are now completed or about to complete.” Mike Greer Homes released another 15 packages to market within stages 3 and 4, and Andrew said interest was once again high. Four have already sold, and there is keen interest in the others. He said while the recent flattening of the housing market has slowed sales somewhat, there were positive signs of an upturn, with inquiries increasing markedly over the last 4 to 6 weeks. The Mike Greer Group has a long standing and successful relationship with the developers, and the team were excited to work with developers to ensure the success of the project, Andrew said. “Offering a wide range of section sizes and house designs, we have been able to cater to a wide range of the community with both home and land packages and turnkey products.” Andrew said Ashburton continued to be an area of growth, often bucking the national trend. “With a thriving primary producing base, and an ever-growing population, the need for continued land development in order to provide housing solutions to cater for this growth is still high.” While Strowan Fields was by far the largest residential development project undertaken P: 03 349 7350 E: sales.chch@metalcraftroofing.co.nz A: 85 Columbia Ave, Hornby South, Christchurch www.metalcraftgroup.co.nz • Girts & Tophats • Metal Fencing • PV Solar Solutions • Metal Insulated Panels • Composite Steel Flooring • Metal Roofing • Metal Cladding • Metal Tiles • Metal Guttering • Metal Spouting • Steel Purlins Ph 03 308 8049 Mike Greer Homes and the Strowan Fields Development PROUD TO SUPPORT ELECTRICAL YOUR TRUSTED EXPERTS -AGRICULTURAL - INDUSTRIAL -RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL TURN YOUR DREAM INTO A REALITY From kitchen design to installation, Misco Joinery offer the complete package including a free quote to help you create your dream kitchen. 62 Williams Street, Kaiapoi 7630 | P: 03 383 4384 | www.misco.co.nz
