F-U Auckland house prices

[TheDemonLord]

I for one like Auckland house prices.....


Soon I shall re-negotiate my mortgage and have a 20% deposit thanks to the magic of appreciation.

(yes, I own a house in Auckland and am less than 30)

Congratulations.

Good yarn.

is there a law that you have to live in Auckland? Buy a house in wanganui for 70k & stop your fuckin whinging.

And then what.... not much demand for what I do outside Jaffa land, do they have a Bunnings, I'm pretty up on hardware

You should have thought about the implications of that when choosing a career, mine is location proof.
Ready for a thorough arse kicking this weekend?.

I didn't think "erotic Asian massage, cheap rates" meant you were doing the massaging.

Rant. Should have saved it for Friday?

Auckland house prices.

Sick of hearing about them.

Yes they are mental - stop fucking paying those prices and lo and behold they will drop.


OK - you are probably sick of hearing about Christchurch earthquakes. But I moved out of Christchurch (just ) so bla bla bla to you.


There is no real solution to either - both cost too much and have a huge social toll.

We are moving out of Auckland, the house prices are bullshit and so is the traffic every day of the week. What you pay for here in Auckland you can get elsewhere for half the price. Auckland is an over crowed shit hole full of cunts.

If your selling in Auckland you should still have a mill to retire on.

We sold up north of Auckland in March last year, paid off all our debt, moved to and worked in Takapuna for a year with next to no living expenses. A few months later, after visiting with friends, paid cash for a 9 year old house in the central north island. We used it for our 'get away form the non stop life style of living in Auckland, then moved here in March of this year, changed our car, bought a motorbike, built a garage to house said things, still no debt and semi tired, we just need a bit of work every now and then to top up the day to day living expenses and golf fees.

Anyone with a mortgage in Auckland can do it, the motivation? is life style.

Well I suppose I could hang up my suit and dust off my Electrical Licence, get my air conditioning tools out and put some overalls on....but working on

the tools.....

Sadly not available to ' have my arse kicked" this weekend, as off to India on holiday in 5 weeks to chug around on a Enfield so not chancing falling off

again , Taupo seems to encourage falling off

Haha - fair call - I'd ask a mill if my house was in Auckland

I have been surprised recently.
My area is average, I guess. Went to a local house auction (Boring house, typical section, nothing at all flash about it) and it went for 1.15mil.

Talking with a neighbour and he said "yeah, that makes it the 7th in the street over a million"!

Ho hum, 26 posts in and nobody is blaming Asians/ Chinese

So essentially, all that is happening is that people in Auckland just need a bigger wheelbarrow to cart their money from one house to the next compared to other parts of the country.
It sounds like a 1.15 million dollar house in dorkland dosent offer a better quality of life than one worth ten percent of that in a pleasant regional village.

Fucking Chinese cunts, driving our house prices up & fucking the share market.
