North Canterbury Wellbeing manager Deirdre Ryan, left, with Jenny Lake, of Ravenswood Developments, with an initial donation made by the property company to the charity. Subdivision company steps up for trust By ROBYN BRISTOW RavenswoodDevelopmentshas swung behind the work of the Community Wellbeing NorthCanterbury Trust. The developerofRavenswood subdivision, just northofWoodend,will donate $2000tothe trustfrom every section soldinits Stage2residential area untilthe end of the year. This could boost the coffers of the trustbyup to $26,000,with 13 sections available in Stage2. It comes on top of an initialdonation of $5000 RavenswoodDevelopmentshas already made. Ravenswoodrepresentative Jenny Lake says the company is all about community. The team at Ravenswood Developments wanted to helpthe North Canterbury community in atime of great need. It decided to support the trust, whichisworking in North Canterbury to help families struggling with the impact of Covid19. “Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trustisuniquelylocal to NorthCanterbury and is facing unprecedented demand,’’ Jenny says. ‘‘More thanever before,they needour support to meetthis growing demand and to help local families,”she says. Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trustmanager Deirdre Ryan says demandfor the trust’s free social and community services has increased significantly in recent weeks. “Our Kaiapoi CommunitySupport food pantry has seena150 percent increaseindemand since the start of lockdown. ‘‘Families who have never needed to access our services before are now coming to us for help.’’ She saysshe is delighted that Ravenswood has chosentopartner with the trust. “Ravenswood’s generous donation will help us to help NorthCanterbury families strugglingwiththe impactof Covid19, right away. ‘‘Their commitment will also helpus to respond quicklyand flexiblyto emerging mentalhealth and wellbeing needsofindividuals and families across the Hurunuiand Waimakariri.” The trust has begun aCovid19 Crisis Appeal. “If we are to help our peopletonot only survive this crisis, but to come through it thriving, we must act urgently and it cannot be donewithout your help,’’ Deirdre says. Housing market buoyant By SHELLEY TOPP Fears of adownturninthe real estate industry following the Covid19 pandemic are unfounded, saysBayleys North Canterburymanager Ross Ditmer. ‘‘We are not seeing any price reduction,’’ he says. ‘‘Buyer enquiryisgoing through the roof and we are getting multiple offerson many properties. ‘‘If you want to sell your house,now is agood time because thereisalot of interest out there.’’ Mr Ditmer believes this is because the Covid19 lockdown has given couples time to evaluate their future in thesame way some do during the Christmas/New Year holidays. ‘‘Often, properties go on the market after Christmas when peoplehave had the chance to sit down and chatabout where they are going and what theyare doing. ‘‘Our rural side of the business is also showing alot of activity,’’ he says. Ross Ditmer ‘‘In my personal opinion, the rural side of things is going wellbecause farmers haven’t been affectedasmuch (during the Covid19 lockdown) because they havecontinued to work and continued to produce, as an essential service. ‘‘Life is more normalfor them comparedtothe people who have been in lockdown unable to work.’’ There hasalso beenahuge increase in interest from overseas buyers,particularly in rural properties. ‘‘The Bayleys New Zealand websitenormally has about 15 percent of traffic fromoverseasbuyers, but since lockdownitissitting at 45%. ‘‘For us, as aCanterburycompany, we know of one couplefrom the United Kingdom who have purchased a substantial property (in WestMelton), so there are people buying properties without seeing them, that’s for sure. ‘‘I haven’t had any of my agents tellme they havehad any sales from overseas buyersyet but they have been dealing with alot of enquiry.’’
