Every Saturday on Instagram, @alihellesoe_raywhite, I post a Q&A session on social stories where you can ask me anything relating to Real Estate!

This past Saturday I was asked if I think homeowners will be scared to sell post covid-19.

A survey was recently conducted by OneRoof and almost half the respondents said they will continue to buy or sell during 2020. That said, the majority of those that answered the survey thought house prices will be affected.

OneRoof editor Owen Vaughan says that the survey shows Covid-19 has affected Kiwis’ perception of the market, but it hasn’t impacted their plans yet.

As always, if you want to have a chat about buying or selling, feel free to get in touch with me - 0274 242 910 💛

Send a Level 3 Love Letter to someone you miss

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighhours,

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

It has bought so much joy to our 5 year old to have mummy and daddy go bike riding with him during lockdown and now it’s gone 😔. He is also now petrified that someone can come to his house and steal him as well so now we have to deal with that too. If anybody sees this bike around the neighbourhood please let me know as we would desperately love to get it back. Thank you!

Give this a 'like' if you visited the Gluepot!

The Team from Auckland Museum

There will be no live gigs (in person at least) and no congregating in our favourite music venues to celebrate the wonder of local music together. These times will come again. But like many others, the music industry will be challenged by the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact.

To show our support for New Zealand music we are sharing some of our favourite posters showcasing Auckland bands and iconic Auckland music venues. These posters offer a glimpse into Auckland’s anarchic, door-kicking punk and new-wave scenes that stomped their way into the city’s late 70s - early 80s musical landscape.

These posters also show how music venues changed and morphed over time, shedding their previous identities and inhabiting new ones. For example, the iconic Edinburgh Castle Hotel on the corner of Symonds Street and Newton Road has had many identities over its 160 years and for the briefest of moments, it was the “notorious” Liberty Stage.

New Zealand Music Month celebrates 20 years this year. For this, and plenty more NZ Music Month discoveries, take a look here.
