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.”
Porirua City experienced a 20.8 per cent annual growth in residential property values, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt cities both experienced 17.2 per cent growth, and Kāpiti Coast 18.3 per cent.

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.”

Jack belongs to Catrina Nicholson.
"Jack is seven years old and we have had him for under two months now. I put out a post asking if anyone was trying to find a home for a cat they could no longer take care of. So we had two on the day we went to see them. And we went for this boy Jack, settled in so fast."

Lily belongs to John and Virginia Francis, from Paraparaumu.
"Our Lily is a Maltese Sydney Silkie cross. At 17 months she is fully grown at 3kg. Loves meeting children and other small dogs."

I've got a spare bed (frame + mattress) available for pick-up if someone's keen. A few caveats (and solutions) below:
1. House is down 'a couple' of stairs - I'm willing to help though to get it up to the pick-up truck/ute.

Hey,

I've got a spare bed (frame + mattress) available for pick-up if someone's keen. A few caveats (and solutions) below:
1. House is down 'a couple' of stairs - I'm willing to help though to get it up to the pick-up truck/ute.
2. I bought it with its broken leg (hasn't been a problem for me really; refer picture).
3. Everything's clean and free of any damage whatsoever (apart from the leg thing).

I'm giving it away because I need more space in my bedroom. I'll probably end up buying a smaller size bed for myself. Contact on number below.

Thanks
