Southgate property reaches new height

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

A four-bedroom property in the Wellington suburb of Southgate was watchlisted 553 times in the first two days of being put up for sale on Trade Me.

After a 2½ week campaign, the call for inquiries over $1.595 million was eclipsed by a final sales price in excess of this – becoming the most popular listing on Trade Me nationwide last month.

The latest figures from Trade Me reveal that Wellington property has become the most sought after in the country with the largest annual percentage increase on record in August. The regional market has climbed 34 per cent year-on-year, despite the country officially entering a recession.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
