NZX & ASX RELEASE 12 April 2021 1Q21 METRICS - SALES OF OCCUPATION RIGHTS Summerset Group reports 275 sales for the quarter ending 31 March 2021, comprising 148 new sales and 127 resales. Summerset CEO Scott Scoullar said it was a record Q1 sales result for both new sales and resales. "A year on from the first COVID-19 lockdown and we're continuing to see robust sales. Our waitlist is up 24 percent on a year ago, and 8 percent on the previous quarter, so we're seeing that demand to live in our villages remaining very strong," he said. "This is backed up by our top village new sales for the first quarter, which were in our Rototuna (Hamilton) and Casebrook (Christchurch) villages and were 31 and 26 sales respectively." Pre-sales were also positive for the next quarter, with all villas being delivered in the second quarter at Kenepuru (Wellington) and Bell Block (New Plymouth) pre-sold. In Te Awa (Napier), 22 of the 23 villas being delivered in Q2 have been pre-sold. Mr Scoullar said there was a good pipeline of new builds to come, including a $170 million village in Prebbleton - the company's fourth Canterbury village - which was granted resource consent in March. It would comprise more than 290 independent homes, as well as the full continuum of care, including serviced apartments and care rooms, plus a state-of-the-art memory care centre for residents living with dementia.
