As we transition into autumn, Taupō is experiencing a seasonal shift, with various events drawing more visitors to town and creating a vibrant atmosphere. Most weekends now have a noticeably busy feel, contributing to increased activity in the local market. While listing numbers remain high across the district, we anticipate continued buyer interest, keeping sales momentum steady in the months ahead.
