Winter is here!

Peter Hulsdouw from

Can you sell your home in winter? Yes you can!

❄️

The standard response, when asked when is the best time of year to sell, is “sell in spring” and while there is some truth in the fact that warmer drier weather can help drive people to open homes, the fact is that life doesn’t stop over winter.

People still need to move for all the same reasons (new job, family reasons etc) and there are some strong positives about selling in winter.

The main benefit of selling in winter is there is less competition from other houses on the market. With a lot of people buying into “sell in spring”, there are fewer houses on the market and so it is easier to make your house stand out more.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
