Poll: If you're renting, what are you seeing?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Rental prices on Trade Me have dropped but Hamilton seems to have missed the memo with city property managers saying that’s not what they are seeing.

The latest Trade Me rental price index shows prices have fallen to an eight month low, with the median cost of a rental in the Waikato at $580 - down 0.9%.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
