Properties are being snapped up before they can be…[Read more]

Another great posting as usual Mini.

Not much for sale in Tokoroa after the big influx of Australains over the last few weeks. However the grass continues to grow and it still needs cutting.

Damn. Will have to change my name and start again.[biggrin]

Article in The Daily Post(Rotorua paper) last week about the latest statistical information for the Bay of Plenty had Kawerau and Tokoroa as virtual ghost towns by 2026.

But when that year comes around I reckon that Auckland will be a ghost town having choked to death with its…[Read more]

Hi Robot

Ollie Newlands book was written 12 months ago and people are still waiting for the bust. How long do people have to wait?

However interest rates are expected to go up again and the housing situation will slow down a bit I think.

Property in New Plymouth has had big capital gains and gross yields have dropped thus making it uneconomic…[Read more]

Hi Guys

Bitterly hot again in Tokoroa today.

Just finished cleaning the inside of the house we started yesterday. Noticed how dirty the outside is, especially on weatherboard houses.

Just a suggestion to those who have property in Tokoroa, get someone to wash the outside of your IPs. The paint work will last longer and also the house will look…[Read more]

This may happen sometime in the next two years.

I have heard that Marsden Point was originally the preferred site but as time goes by Tokoroa is coming more to the fore. However I don’t know.

There…[Read more]

Hi Guys

Heard the other day that an Australian investor is looking to buy 30-40 houses in Tokoroa this year in the 45k to 60k range.

At my last look there were only 39 houses in the range from 45k to 100k so he might be struggling.

In mid 2003 there were about 95 houses available for sale in that bracket.

Rents have definitely gone up for the…[Read more]

Hi Guys

Am now living in Tokoroa and today is as hot as hell.

Have spent the day cleaning an empty rental ready to be let out again. Don’t know who the owner of the house is. It’s in Papanui Street.

Have two more empty rentals to be cleaned over the next few days.
One of the houses is quite dirty. There will be at least 4 trailer loads of old…[Read more]
