Porirua suburb approaching $1million mark
Porirua’s median property prices have risen by 49 per cent since 2017.
This is about double the rate for Wellington City, higher than Hutt, and the red hot Kāpiti Coast. It smashes Auckland, Christchurch and the overall national figures. Porirua’s mayor Anita Baker says the word ‘affordable’ no longer has any meaning when it comes to housing – and the city was not far away from a million-dollar median value for its homes.
This year the Porirua suburb of Aotea hit $1m ($958,000 in 2019) as its median house price. Whitby has a median of $814,000 ($760,000 in 2019), while Cannons Creek sits at $486,000 ($413,000 in 2019) and Waitangirua $465,000 ($399,000 in 2019).
In Wellington City the likes of Seatoun had a median value of about $1.5m, Kelburn $1.3m while Newlands was $714,000.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
