Hutt housing market booming
Lower Hutt is undergoing a housing boom, with demand outstripping supply.
On Monday, a 11 unit townhouse development was purchased off the plans within 24 hours.
Developer Blair Chappell said he could have sold another 100, such was the demand.
Real Estate Institute New Zealand figures show Lower Hutt was one fastest rising house prices in the country in the past year. In August, the median house price hit a record $670,000, rising 22.5 per cent over 12 months to the end of August. This outstripped the capital, Auckland and other regions with fast rising house prices, such as Southland and Hawke’s Bay.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
