Remember Bailey Ross, the first time buyer who missed out on the property she'd been saving since she was 16 to own because of a sunset clause? Well, great news! She's secured a home in Lower Hutt.

I caught up with Bailey for an episode of First Rung, our podcast for first time buyers. She ended up giving me a bit of a masterclass in tenacity and not giving up on your home owning dreams.
Find out how Bailey found her first home, and what it means to her after such a big let down.

Wellington City councillors have agreed to sell and lease land for the $500 million Shelly Bay development on the Miramar Peninsiula.
Wellington City councillors have given the green light to the controversial Shelly Bay redevelopment, voting 9-6 after an eight-hour-long marathon session in favour of allowing the project to proceed.
The decision is a major blow for Wellington mayor Andy Foster, who centred his election campaign last year on stopping the $500 million development on the Miramar Peninsula, and to the film mogul and local Sir Peter Jackson, who supported him.

After three years, Emma was adopted by a New Zealand family and brought here for a new life - but that didn’t work out how it was supposed to. Emma was diagnosed with foetal alcohol syndrome and reactive attachment disorder. Parenting her became a nightmare, and it ended in tragedy.
Emma has faced more challenges and rejections than most people could cope with. And now, she wants to take on the biggest challenge of her life - finding answers to those most fundamental questions: who am I? Where did I come from?

I seem to be boxer/American bulldog type crossbreed, or SPCA Special as everyone says! I am deaf, so am looking for a special home to go to with an owner who is committed to helping me learn all the usual stuff, just with a different way of learning through visual language and a lot of patience.

I am deaf, so am looking for a special home to go to with an owner who is committed to helping me learn all the usual stuff, just with a different way of learning through visual language and a lot of patience.
A home where I will get plenty of time and commitment invested in me would be most beneficial, and I will definitely reward you back with years of love and loyalty.
An existing dog in the household could be great, to help me learn from them! I will need ongoing training around other dogs, as I cannot hear verbal signals from dogs, so need an experienced adult to guide me through interactions. I am continuing to learn with other dogs in the centre, and look forward to carrying this on in my home.

This table is quite convenient as it is relatively small with a large fold up leaf. However the painting is pretty rough and you might like to send it down and repaint.

She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.
I bought this light shade last year I think from Stacks (or the Axe) for about $140. I love it - especially with fairy lights threaded through for Christmas. Unfortunately the rest of the family liked the old one and insisted I go back to it!
