Well, in a nutshell ….. soon.
NZ’s Consumer has always been there to really help Kiwis out in deciding what to spend their hard earned money on…. and it continues….
But I digress. Kiwis are very fortunate that we have a national organisation like Consumer (like Choice in OZ, Consumer Reports in the States, et al…)
And why?
Well, one of the side benefits is that even if you don’t subscribe to their most excellent magazine and service, the folks there are still generous enough to provide heart warming reports for free.
And talk about timely?
Here is a question I have heard about a dozen times over the last year. (probably nearly the same for every year before that too!)
Whats best/most economical – leaving the heatpump ** on 24hrs a day / 7 days a week … or only when you need it?
Well those gracious folks in Wellington provide the answers right here, just in time for that cooler weather.
Thanks Consumer!
* heatpump is the generic term in NZ given to what in OZ is called an air conditioner/ split system type.
**Eagle eyed readers will note the Consumer Report is from April 2012….but even with advances in Tech over the last year….by my reckoning its still 90% correct.

I’ve spoken before about the fabulous job Air New Zealand does with their “Bare Essentials of Safety” safety videos, you know… ones like this one and the ones included in this post here….
Well its 2013 now and time for a new one, starring none other than Bear Grylls. Well worth a watch before you board.
And just in case you can’t find one of the earlier versions…here you go above.

Check out this chart that I have “borrowed” from the NZ Property Investors Association national magazine…

…and then tell me what you think? (Like all my pics, click on it it for higher res image – its easier to read for “boomers” like me.)
The stats come from Statistics NZ, but thanks to the NZ Property Investors Mag I don’t have to go there and compile them tonight.
Like usual though….if you wanna know more, or more importantly, want to know how to interept these stats in the context of our Dec 2012 Nelson real estate market.. …you know who to call.

In our region we have one main daily newspaper, The Nelson Mail, published each afternoon, usually available in Newsagents and dairies around noon.
We also happen to have The Leader which is published weekly as well.
just the facts, the Good News facts....
And rounding out the selection, we have the two weekly “good news only” papers……..The Nelson Weekly and The Waimea Weekly.
Two Editions back, the Nelson / Waimea Weekies announced they had just undergone a revamp of their website, so I thought I should ensure that you are aware of same.
Head on over there, or rather click here to be taken there now.
