House to buy in Somerfield School Zones

Karla from Somerfield

We are a family of 4 (plus 2 golden retrievers) recently moved back to CHCH from Brisbane and we are urgently looking for a house to purchase in the Somerfield area before the school year commences. My husband and I have a 12 yr old daughter and a 10 yr old son.

We previously lived in Avonside during the 2010-2011 timeframe and moved back to Brisbane when we were red zoned. We call CHCH home and fought hard to return here and now we're lucky enough to move back with my husbands job.

We are looking for a min of 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas would be ideal, min of 600m2 block and we are happy to look at any updating that needs doing. So if you or anyone you know are about to place your house on the market or thinking about it in the coming months, we would love to hear from you.

Cheers
Karla & Justin

I'm sure you've seen it while doing your weekly shop... In fact, it may have even been you.

What do you think about people heading to the supermarket in their pyjamas?

“Giggly girt! Giggly girt!”

“See I got my hair cut on Friday. I've got my hair band to keep it up. See? Like this I keep it up.

Biscuit Blair - she's my favourite woman. And you. And that cheeky lady over there.

My last name is Rule. I'll write it down for you, you silly old duff.
I was born on West Coast. I moved here when I was a little girl.

I like doing pictures here that’s why I like pictures. Doing art. I like going for a walk. I come here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

My sister, I go see her on Saturday. Have a cup of coffee, at home. She's five, nine. 59. I'm five, seven, 57. This year I'll be 58. My birthday's on a Thursday. I'm having chocolate cake and pizza. And lolly ice cream.
Some people are noisy. Nicholas, and Peter and Chris, they are my friends and that giggly girt over there.

I get headache sometimes at other work, because noisy.

I'm happy here. I could go for a walk if I want to. I'm good.”
