Does your property really double in value every 10yrs?

Matt from

“In 2012, the national average asking price for a home was less than half a million dollars at $447,040. We have seen this average increase steadily over the last ten years to reach just under $1 million in 2021.”

Average asking prices have more than doubled nationally and in 10 of 19 NZ regions in the last decade, according to the latest data from realestate.co.nz.

For homeowners who have not (theoretically) doubled their money, most have seen average asking prices in their regions get close, with more than 90% increases.

Vanessa Williams, spokesperson for realestate.co.nz says that property has long been considered a good investment, and the latest data has supported that theory.

In the last ten years, regional New Zealand small towns have seen the largest average asking price increases. With an increase of $361,441 or 282.1% in 10 years, mill-town Kawerau saw the most exponential average asking price growth.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
