Should we bust ghost houses?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Do you have unoccupied "ghost houses" on your street? Investors buy them, park their money and pull the blinds across... but at what cost?

The last census showed there were 141,366 empty dwellings in New Zealand and in 2016, more than 33,000 houses in Auckland were officially … View more

We have five 8-week old fawn & white male baby bunnies available (other 5 already sold) for good homes. They're adorable, very friendly as have been handled heaps by us and our kids.

We chose Flemish giants as they are a very laid back and friendly breed and excellent with children. However, they grow bigger than some other breeds so do need a bigger hutch and space for exercise.

Available from this weekend, to caring homes only!!!! Email me for more information: kimegrey@gmail.com

"Ruby" the little red Honda Logo Lachic has served me well....she has taken me from Ohope Beach to Dunedin and now Christchurch.


Yes, she is a 1998 car, but with only 151,000km, serviced regularly (one due now) and water pump (new in 2015) and cam belt still ok...it makes it an great choice to buy...especially with the new WOF (with paperwork) and 6-months Rego.


Being a with a low cc engine; it makes it a perfect car to learn to drive in...or if anyone just wants an economical car that you can park in all those parks that massive sedans and 4-Wheel Drives can't fit into!


With lockable roof racks, it makes putting on a kayak, snowboard, bike...even moving a bed, so much easier :-)


With sadness I need to sell her, as I need the money for a medical procedure.


I have a plan to start biking again too.
