That NZ house looks hideously over-priced to me.
Obviously, it's priced fine, as the local market will dictate that, but i can't see VFM in it anyway.
I had to look at the exchange rate, expecting $3-4 to the £. Nope, 1.8.Obviously, it's priced fine, as the local market will dictate that, but i can't see VFM in it anyway.
So that place is about £835,000. Reduced from about £1,060,000. Which seems like a lot, although I don't even remotely know the area.
Nice place though, although I'm not a fan of high shine, darkish wood.

However, I think the proportions are a bit "off". The central pediment and entablature are too narrow and "pinched" for my tastes, whilst the wings are too long in comparison.
Yet the relationship between acquired synesthesia and emotional memories are clear to see, with influences and new variations that are synthesised from both opaque and transparent discourse.What starts out as triumph soon becomes debased into a cacophony of defeat, leaving only a sense of unreality and the dawn of a new beginning.
As spatial derivatives become reconfigured through diligent and personal practice, the viewer is left with a tribute to the darkness of our future.

I think we can both agree that this building mimics the spirit of decorativeness and yet is diametrically opposed to the spirit which animates architecture, which is the art of building, the social art above all others.

Its down to the location really. Its near 3000sqft and 2.6Ha of land. Obviously, it's priced fine, as the local market will dictate that, but i can't see VFM in it anyway.
Ocean and mountain views in a very small rural village.
Nestled down here somewhere
yet its only 25min from the countries second largest city CBD
A little bit further out gets you something similar (in size at least) for half the price, 50min commute.

Now that does look value, about £500k. Would buy you a decent semi here!
Chc average house prices range from $370k to $660k, not many semi's here usually is a 100-130sqm 3 bed bungalow on 500-600sqm at the low end.House pricing is high though, relatively low rates, high demand and a lot of wealthy immigration plus lowish average wage means its not so affordable. Auckland average is over $1mil now. Average NZ wage is about $55k
