Does your property really double in value every 10yrs?

Matt from

“In 2012, the national average asking price for a home was less than half a million dollars at $447,040. We have seen this average increase steadily over the last ten years to reach just under $1 million in 2021.”

“In 2012, the national average asking price for a home was less than half a million dollars at $447,040. We have seen this average increase steadily over the last ten years to reach just under $1 million in 2021.”

Average asking prices have more than doubled nationally and in 10 of 19 NZ regions in the last decade, according to the latest data from realestate.co.nz.

For homeowners who have not (theoretically) doubled their money, most have seen average asking prices in their regions get close, with more than 90% increases.

Vanessa Williams, spokesperson for realestate.co.nz says that property has long been considered a good investment, and the latest data has supported that theory.

In the last ten years, regional New Zealand small towns have seen the largest average asking price increases. With an increase of $361,441 or 282.1% in 10 years, mill-town Kawerau saw the most exponential average asking price growth.

Hi there neighbours
We are talking solar water heating here not solar electric. Simple one panel system that provides a very good savings on hot water energy costs.
Some people ask - is it with installing solar water heating just before winter? Well, the answer is a resounding yes. Sure, there are a few days when the solar stuggle but your back up is always available. Given Tauranga's sunshine hours its a hard polace to beat for solar performance, notwithstanding the feel good of using the suns energy to heat your water and paying the energy companies less over the many years to come.

Its never a better time - get in before prices rise and the special runs out. Deal with the trusted local team since 1996 !

Height adjustable swiveling bar stools

Kevin from Bethlehem

These are two height adjustable, swiveling bar stools, the base is silver and slightly pitted on both but could probably be cleaned up, the seats are a pale blue and have a few scratches on the sides. they work well and would clean up nicely, just taking up space in our garage now so need to go.

Rubbish day was yesterday, obviously the workers for the council don't bother to clean up anything that has fallen out of the bins when lifted into truck. Have also noticed lots of broken glass around the time of collection. We never had this problem when the other contractors were doing the job. We are paying more, for a less than standard job by the council.

Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
