1Q23 METRICS – SALES OF OCCUPATION RIGHTS
Summerset Group reported 210 sales for the quarter ending 31 March 2023, comprising 115
new sales and 95 resales.
Summerset CEO Scott Scoullar said this was a credible result, given the tough market
conditions and the phasing of Summerset’s new home construction delivery programme.
“While new sales are lower than the first quarter of 2022, we only delivered 57 new homes in the
first quarter of 2023.
“We continue to be on track for delivering 625 to 675 new homes in 2023. Over 75 percent of our
new homes will be delivered in the second half of the year, which includes three new main
buildings at Summerset Palms (Napier), Summerset at Pohutukawa Place (New Plymouth) and
Summerset by the Dunes (Papamoa).”
Mr Scoullar said that 95 resales in the first quarter is lower than expected and was primarily
related to timings associated with residents settling and moving in.
“We have 41 more contracted resales homes when compared to contracted resale stock at the
end of 2022. We’re pleased to see a high number of contracted homes, this puts us in a good
position moving into Q2 and Q3.”
Summerset’s growth continues with two major village openings in the first quarter.
“We were very pleased to open our new village centre at our Summerset on the Landing
(Kenepuru) village in February. The new building has 123 new units, including Serviced
Apartments, Care and Memory Care suites, over 40 percent of which have already been
contracted or settled.
“Our fourth Waikato village, Summerset Cambridge, also opened this quarter and welcomed its
first new residents,” said Mr Scoullar. Once complete, the village will have approximately 260
homes with a mix of villas, apartments and serviced apartments.
“Our first Australian village at Cranbourne North, Victoria, is progressing well with earth works
and civil works substantially progressed, and construction is due to commence immediately after
Easter on our first homes within the village.
“Looking ahead we are committed to working with our prospective residents across New
Zealand to enable them to move into our villages easily and confidently while they complete the
settlement of their homes.”
