'Landmark' Aro Valley home on market 'as is'

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, do you recognise this 'landmark' Aro Valley home?

Just seven months after selling for $1.51m, it's back on the market with "issues around water tightness". It's being listed "as is", with a TradeMe estimate of $1.14 million, but the agent said: "We don't know what it might fetch – the unknown is what it will take to take to fix it up."

Have you ever bought a property "as is"? Did you bag a bargain or end up with a money pit? What were the highs and lows of the process and would you do it again? Let us know in the comments below, or email homed@stuff.co.nz.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
