The disparity between supply and demand was most obvious when median sales prices were compared against values. The institute’s Manawatū spokesperson Andy Stewart said the median rateable value of the Palmerston North properties sold in April was $385,000 – $280,000 lower than the median sale price. The story was the same in Feilding, where the median rateable value was $415,000, but the median sale price hit a record high of $690,000. The situation in Palmerston North is especially grim for first-home buyers. Only 1.85 per cent of the 115 houses sold in April went for less than $400,000, while 5.55 per cent were between $400,000 and $500,000. Meanwhile, only five residential sections were sold, with Stewart saying a shortage of sections was hampering people wanting to build new houses or subdivisions.

A pro bono campaign for HeartKids has raised over $300,000 for the children’s heart health charity.
The campaign was supported across the industry, with Omnicom’s DDB Sydney partnering on creative, IPG Mediabrands’ Initiative on media, and research agency Kantar on effectiveness. 20 publishers participated as well, listed in full below.
Released in January this year, the “Things can change in a heartbeat” campaign depicts the truth of children affected by congenital heart disease (CHD). The spot contrasts the joy of bringing a child into the world with the fears parents with children with CHD face, a reality for one in 100 parents of Australian kids.
An industry-backed campaign for Heartkids has created dramatic results, raising $300,000 for the charity and creating an uplift in awareness and consideration to donate.
