This New Brighton cottage proves you don’t need a full renovation or beachfront position to get an outstanding result.
The home offered native timber floors, a separate studio, and a private 506sqm section — all within an easy walk of the beach. Well presented, lifestyle-focused, and priced to attract real buyers.
The campaign results:
60 inspections
44 enquiries
6 registered bidders
Interest came from first-home buyers, downsizers, and buyers actively chasing coastal living.
On auction day, that demand turned into genuine competition. The property sold under the hammer for more than $100,000 over RV.
The takeaway is clear: tidy, well-located homes near the coast are in demand — particularly entry-level properties in Christchurch’s coastal suburbs.
If you’re thinking about selling in New Brighton, Southshore or nearby, get in touch. No pressure — just straight-up advice and a clear view of what your property could be worth in today’s market.
