Can you buy a house for $500,000 in Wellington?

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Can you still buy a house in Wellington for $500,000. The short answer is yes, no, maybe.
There are currently 52 properties, in the city, listed at $500,000 or less.
Virtually all of those properties are one-bedroom apartments.
There is a one bedroom house in Mt Cook but it is 50 square metres.
If you are prepared to live in Masterton (see picture below) or Porirua, you can find something but be prepared to spend a small fortune on renovation.
