Are you Considering Real Estate Property in Timaru?

Real Estate Property in Timaru has experienced huge growth in the last ten years as people have realised how magical this vibrant district, that sits halfway between Christchurch and Dunedin, is to its current residents.

For the size of its population, the district covers over two and a half thousand square kilometres, through Timaru itself which skirts around the city mark in terms of population size. In total, around forty three thousand people live in the area, populating both the more built up urban areas, the small lifestyle blocks, the small farms and the huge roaming stations.

Business growth has been positive and sizable, and the workforce is stable and secure. Many of the businesses would be classified as small, though there are a few large enterprises that have their head offices in Timaru that have national brand recognition in the rest of New Zealand. Rural related businesses also continue to grow and adapt to the market.

It's a well known area for growing produce with pip fruit & berries being popular. Cherries are also abundant during their all too short season here. Asparagus farms and the family favourites of pumpkins, peas and carrots are also grown commercially in Timaru.

For those who love flowers, this area is a florist's dream, with a wide variety of flowers being grown for both export and our domestic markets. In recent years it's been best known for its Peony Roses and Calla Lilies, though the types of flowers grown do alter a little as fashions and demands change.

The excellent growing climate bodes well for residents too, with the area boasting a temperate climate. Like many regions of the South Island, you'll experience true seasons in this area, from the hot and dry days of summer, to the rich warm harvesting changes in autumn, the heavy snow falls in winter and the warm respite from the cold in spring.

The great outdoors is ready for anyone thinking about buying real estate property in the region. There are five ski fields in less than two hours driving distance from its coast, and it is well known for its excellent fishing. There are several sizable inland lakes that are perfect for water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and water skiing. Trampers love escaping to the hills to explore the native bush.

There is certainly much to draw anyone into the region. If you are considering real estate property in Timaru the biggest challenge will be just what kind of property you want!
