Poll: If you're renting, what are you seeing?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Rental prices on Trade Me have dropped but Hamilton seems to have missed the memo with city property managers saying that’s not what they are seeing.

The latest Trade Me rental price index shows prices have fallen to an eight month low, with the median cost of a rental in the Waikato at $580 - down 0.9%.

If you're renting, what are you seeing? Tell us about it in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

The 23-carat pie that could be New Zealand’s most expensive

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Baker Tīrau has created what might be New Zealand's most luxurious, and expensive, take on a Kiwi classic steak and cheese pie and is auctioning it off for a good cause.

Made with wagyu beef, French red wine, the most expensive cheese he could get his hands on, and topped with 23-carat gold flakes, award-winning baker Shane Kearns is auctioning off his unique steak and cheese pie to raise funds for local volunteer fire-fighters.
