Wellington’s property values recorded the fastest growth out of the main centres in 2020, with prices rising as the capital’s housing stock plumbs the lowest level in decades.
Over the coming year, the average property price for Wellington would cross the $1 million mark, said Nicki Cruickshank, a real estate agent with Tommy’s Wellington. “You can't really get a three-bedroom house in Wellington under $1m now, anyway.”

Smokey is a rehomed cat who is loving his new life with his happy new owner.
“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”
