Very nice John. A little formal for our tastes, we will be looking for something a little older (VILLA) probably.
There are some nice looking suburbs to Tauranga. If you want more info on the area, just pm lizard on the fishing .net (real name Keith). He is a great fella, and very helpfull.

A nice little doer upper here..

We found our dream house too but were told yesterday that there is an accepted offer on it.. and all that after we had been told we could offer and get in by end March

We are gutted. It's not a joy househunting anymore as you just end up accepting that you probably won't get it. I nearly, NEARLY demanded to be shipped home last night... okay today though.

If there is one thing I didn't anticipate when moving it was my yearning for our own home again... we are in our 5th month of renting now and its getting me down - we do have a specific "wish list" for a house and we really don't want to settle for anything less. i.e. old character villa or home on hill with view - big garden is a must.

I wonder if it's a "time of life" thing as I know that when we were in our 20's renting was great.. but since owning in the UK etc renting is awful and quite depressing at times.

So, if anyone out there sees something similar in Chch area or Harbourside area please let me know (unless you are buying it!!).

This one is lovely.

Crikey Timbo.. that's nice.. but we want to buy up to $300k at the moment so we don't overstretch ourselves !

haha considering we were looking at $400k at the beginning it sure says something eh?!

[Timbo]

I used $300 as my search criteria oddly enough. Although it does say TENDER, so ?????

We seem to be typing at the same time Moorf. I used $400 for the first house and $300 for the second, so it may be worth a sniff, unless you know otherwise already of course. I am fubbling in the dark with regards to suburbs and just picking the nice looking houses.

[Moorf]

Yep, have seen 2nd one on the Homesell site.. nice isn't it - and it's what we are looking for - but I dread to think of the price seeing as it's in Fendalton :?
