Introduction

This blog will be some rambling about our efforts to sustain a presence in the property market in the current credit crunch and manage our daily lives in the meantime.
To set the scene, most of our property is in NZ, some in Australia. We moved temporarily to NZ in October 2007 to better manage the situation occurring with our lenders in NZ and stimulate some sales. We are now in the process of moving back to Oz. While we have been working hard, there is not a lot to show for it.
The best part of staying in NZ is the location. A great house on the estuary in Maungatapu, Tauranga in the sunny Bay of Plenty. The summer has been brill. And here we are 5 weeks out from the shortest day and the sun is streaming into the office just like the last few days and judging by the forecast will be for at least the next week.
And since we still own some sections here and keen to sell, this introduction is also an unashamed plug for the sections
