The real estate market in Wairoa continues to be very active according to agents in the area.
Property Brokers Kimberley Bell said there were plenty of buyers looking to purchase property and land, both within the township and rurally.
Ms Bell said the most common buyers were from out of town with about half of buyers relocating to the area or planning to move to the area in the next few years due to different lifestyle or employment.
"We are seeing buyers from Auckland, but equally as much from places like Hamilton and Tauranga," Ms Bell said.
One of these recent home buyers was Cindy Bridson who relocated from Hamilton to Wairoa for retirement.
