Why direct mail works in Mount Eden

Mount Eden owners tend to stay for a long time. More than half of the suburb’s owner occupied homes were built before 1940, and the average ownership is 16.1 years. That is a long time for owners to stay in one place.

People rarely decide to sell overnight. Their family may need more space, the house may no longer suit them, or a nearby property may sell for more than expected.

A local sale gives you a genuine reason to get in touch. A thoughtful letter can introduce you while the result is still fresh and before the owner has chosen an agent.

There have been 36 sales in the past 90 days. That creates regular opportunities to reach nearby owners, without so much activity that getting there early stops mattering.
