Over the last couple of years I have been made aware that I need to keep upto date with cost for replacing my house if I have to replace it.
This year the insurance companies have not mentioned it which got me wondering. So I used the online calculator that I used last year and the price dropped by $200K ?
Last year my house was estimated for selling at $200K more, but why would that affect the rebuilding costs?
I am sure there are some people who will be able to share thoughts

First cruise ship brings hum to city, rather than port town

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Hi neighbours, the Royal Princess arrived in Christchurch on Tuesday with 3500 passengers on board, an estimated 80% of whom disembarked for the day.

Hi neighbours, the Royal Princess arrived in Christchurch on Tuesday with 3500 passengers on board, an estimated 80% of whom disembarked for the day.

However, few in Lyttelton township would have noticed, as most went direct to a tour or into the central city.

The move came after Lyttelton locals voiced their frustrations over inconsiderate and low-spending passengers overwhelming the town and public transport. Meetings between the cruise industry and Christchurch’s economic development arm, ChristchurchNZ, led to the trial of shuttles being run from the berth straight into the city.

Christchurch NZ head of tourism Kath Low said considering it was day one of the bus scheme, “absolutely it worked”.

Do you agree? Did you notice a difference on Tuesday compared to last summer's cruise season? Read the full story by reporter Brett Kerr-Laurie here (subscription required) and share your thoughts in the comments below.
