I'm wondering if the median house prices are much different? Here in the states, the average (or mean) house price is often substaintially above the median (or midpoint) where half the houses sold for more and half sold for less.
Perhaps I am holding out hope where there is none!

Ask and you shall receive... (from Stuff.co.nz) Housing prices stall in September (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3446640a13,00.html)

Thanks Ivy, very interesting information.

If only we could choose outright where we want to live, rather than being dictated by the job market . . . . will hopefully know more when Andy's on his job seeking trip the next 3 weeks (will PM you about meeting up)
