In the days out from the Christmas Day chaos and

before the festive holidays kick in, it's a good chance to de-clutter in and around

your home.Not only is it good Feng Shui -

which means prosperity in wealth, health and love - but it's very therapeutic and good for the soul.

Firstly, it's important to have a tidy exterior – take the time to check the property from the roadside.

Tidy up its appearance and make sure the entrance way to the house, both on the doorstep and inside the door. It ensures good positive energy flows in and out: it's also prosperous.

Plus there's nothing like clearing out or removing items surplus to your household requirements.

Decluttering doesn't have to be overwhelming just start in one area and move around the house.

The best place to start is with the wardrobe/closet/drawers.

Pick out those clothing items you have not worn for ages, don't' fit anymore or are stained/ripped/

or ruined. Put them in to bags for rubbish or recycling. Recycled clothing should be in a good condition.

Then do the children's clothing. Encourage other adults in the house to go through their own clothing too.

If material cannot be salvaged from the ruined clothing, dump them in the rubbish.

But place the clothing to be recycled by the door and remember to drop them off in a clothing bin around town, or at a charity clothing store.

The next item is children's toys: it's so easy to accumulate toys that are past their use by date.

Discard any broken or unfixable toys then check each toys 'worth' – are they still age suitable and is it still played with?

It's a good idea to check toys while the children are not around – you would be surprised how often they decide it's their favourite toy, if they think someone else is getting it.

Once the toys are sorted bag them into rubbish, fix or recycle. Toys destined for second-hand or charity stores need to be in tidy or operating condition. They don't want your rubbish either.

If you are still up for more de-cluttering go through your linen supplies, the kitchen cupboards and the living room and check through those Knick-knacks you've had for years and don't even notice anymore just gathering dust.

Try and reduce the amount of landfill you create by reusing or recycling items where possible. One person’s rubbish is another person’s treasure.

Open Home

A mid-century home on the edge of the Californian desert used a perfectly

balanced mix of serene blues, tactile glass and pristine whites to create a cooling,

relaxing retreat from hot desert winds.

It’s a winning colour palette that can work equally well in coastal bathrooms.

Colour inspiration came from the blue skies of the surrounding desert with key fixtures such as glass basins and contemporary styled cast iron bath coming from Kohler.

The light grey high gloss floor tiles add a further dimension to the otherwise two-toned space – while the white fixtures pop

in contrast to the serene blue wall hues.

The unique texture of Kohler’s Nature’s Chemistry spun glass basins is the perfect complement to the sleek, hard surfaces – there are a number in the range, including the Kallos multi-faceted under bench design and the beautifully crafted cast glass Antilia Wading Pool model.

The Reve cast iron bath is a refreshing contemporary take on the traditional freestanding bath – its modernist design incorporates geometric faceted lines, wider back ledge for storage of bathing products and elevated plinth to increase the architectural statement of the piece.

Wallmount tapware contributes to the clean, uncluttered aesthetic and Kohler’s Purist and Stillness collections provide perfectly balanced, simply designed options.

And in warm climates it’s essential to get the showering options right!

Here the owners have used a combination of the bluetooth enabled Moxie and the overhead RainCan shower head. Moxie

It's all blue and white Bathrooms

REINZ

November real estate statisticsStrong November puts bounce back in Spring.• 7,416 dwellings sold in November

2014, up 12.2% on October and up 6.5% on November 2013

• National median price of $455,750, up $25,750 on October and up $30,750 on November 2013 to set a new record median

• Auckland median price reached a new record of $670,000, with Waikato/Bay of Plenty, Wellington and Canterbury/Westland also setting new record medians

• Days to sell remained steady at 34 days compared to October, and eased three days compared to November 2013

• 1,664 dwelling sold by auction in November, representing the third highest number of dwellings sold by auction

REINZ, the most up to date source of real estate data in New Zealand, announced today that there were 7,416 dwelling sales inthe month of November, up 6.5% on November 2013 and up 12.2% compared to October. The national median price was $455,750 for the month of November, an increase of $30,750 or 7.2% compared to November 2013, and an increase of $25,750 or 6.0% from October 2014.

Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) Chief Executive Helen O’Sullivan says, “The November data shows there was an element of buoyancy returning to parts of the real estate market with new record median prices at the national level, along with regional records for Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury/Westland and Waikato/Bay of Plenty; the four largest markets representing 78% of all sales in November. Sales volumes have also picked up in many regions, with the strongest surge in activity in Waitakere City in the Auckland region. Commentary from around the regions suggests that the ‘top end’ of a number of regional markets are performing well, with the middle and lower ends doing less well.”

“Closer investigation of November’s data shows that dwellings being sold for more than $1 million are seeing the strongest increase in price growth (+10%), along with an increasing share of sales, while those at the other end of

the scale are seeing much lower price growth (under 4%) and flat to declining sales volumes. Further, on a seasonally adjusted basis the median house price has increased by 3% over October, compared to 6% for the raw data. For Auckland the difference is even more marked, with a seasonally adjusted increase of just 1.3% compared to 4.6% for the raw data.”

“This suggests that the top end of the market is driving the overall rise in the national and some regional median prices, while those dwellings in the lower deciles are seeing less price growth and a lack of buyer capacity which may be related to the LVR restrictions currently in place.”

REINZ data shows there were 7,416 unconditional residential sales in November, a 12.2% increase on sales recorded for October, and a 6.5% rise from November 2013. Typically, sales in November are higher than October, being the third busiest month of the year behind March and May. On a seasonally adjusted basis the number of sales was up 11.2% on October and up 12.3% compared to November 2013.

10 regions recorded an increase in sales volume compared to October with Auckland recording the largest percentage increase of 19.9%, followed by Otago with 17.6% and Waikato/Bay of Plenty with 13.8%. Compared to November 2013 10 regions recorded a increase in sales volume with Otago recording the largest increase of 24.9%, followed by Waikato/Bay of Plenty with an increase of 14.3% and Nelson/Marlborough with an increase of 13.6%.

The national median house price rose $25,750 (+6.0%) to $455,750 compared to October. Compared to November 2013 the national median house price increased by $30,750 (+7.2%), with 11 regions recording an increase in the median price. On a seasonally adjusted basis the national median house price rose 3.0% compared with October and 7.0% compared to November 2013.

Auckland and Canterbury continue to account for the lion’s share of the movement, with 64% of the increase in the national median price compared to November last year occurring in

Auckland, with Canterbury/Westland contributing 12% of the increase and Waikato/Bay of Plenty contributing 10%. Together these three regions accounted for 86% of the increase in the median price between November 2013 and November 2014, with the remaining nine regions contributing 14% of the increase in the median price.

Manawatu/Wanganui recorded the largest percentage increase in median price compared to November 2013, with an 11.7% increase, followed by Hawkes Bay with an 10.3% increase and Central Otago Lakes with a 9.2% increase. Compared to October, Taranaki recorded the largest percentage increase in median price, up 10.7%, followed by Central Otago Lakes with a 7.0% increase and Waikato/Bay of Plenty with a 5.3% increase.

The REINZ Stratified Housing Price Index, which adjusts for some of the variations in the mix that can impact on the median price, is 6.0% higher than November 2013, at 4,118.7. The Auckland Index has risen 9.4% compared to November 2013, with the Christchurch Index up 9.2% and the Wellington Index down 1.6%.

Dwellings took 34 days to sell in November, the same as October. Compared to November 2013, the median number of days to sell was three days longer. Three regions saw an improvement in the number of days to sell between November 2013 and November 2014, with Otago recording an improvement of five days and Southland an improvement of four days. Auckland saw its number of days to sell ease by one day.

For the month of November, Canterbury/Westland and Otago recorded the shortest days to sell at 29 days, followed by Auckland at 31 days and Wellington at 32 days. Northland recorded the longest number of days to sell at 56 days, followed by Hawkes Bay at 55 days and Central Otago Lakes at 52 days. Over the past 10 years the median days to sell for the month of November has averaged 34 days across New Zealand.

Nationally there were 1,664 dwellings sold by auction in November

representing 22.4% of all sales, and a reduction of 54 on the number of dwellings sold by auction in November 2013, although November 2014 was the 3rd highest month for dwellings sold by auction, while November 2013 was the 2nd highest month. For the 12 months to November 2014 the percentage of homes sold by auction was lower than the 12 months to October 2014 at 18.5%, with 13,547 homes sold by auction in the year ending November 2014 compared to 16,421 for the year ending November 2013.

Transactions in Auckland again dominated the auction market in November, representing 72.8% of the national total of auction sales. 41.1% of all dwelling sales in Auckland were by auction in November 2014, compared to 44.5% of all dwelling sales in Auckland in November 2013. Sales by auction in Waikato/Bay Of Plenty accounted for 7.8% of the national total, Canterbury/Westland accounted for 11.4% of the national total, and all other regions combined accounted for the remaining

Across New Zealand the total value of residential sales, including sections was $4.254 billion in November, compared to $3.578 billion in October, and $3.740 billion in November 2013. For the 12 months ended November 2014 the total value of residential sales was $39.421 billion.

There were 119 fewer (-3.8%) sales under $400,000 in November 2014 compared to November 2013, compared to an increase of 808 sales (+12.2%) for all price brackets between the two periods.

The REINZ Housing Price Index rose 3.3% compared with October to sit at 4,118.7. Auckland rose 2.5%, Christchurch rose 3.5%, and Wellington rose 0.3%. For the month of November, the New Zealand, Auckland, Christchurch and Other North Island indices all hit new record highs. For the 12 months to November the Auckland Index rose 9.4%, the Christchurch Index rose 9.2% and the Wellington Index fell 1.6%. The National Index increased 6.0% compared to November last year.

This year will be Les Donaldson’s 9th New Year’s Eve at the MSA - every one has been a night to remember, with people occasionally, throughout the year, commenting 'they’ll be back for the next one'.

I think playing such a variety of music from today’s hits to classic rock and everything in between is what’s kept me there this long.

This year is no exception with the addition of Doug Blakie, from Timaru, on drums. It’s a tight unit with Liam Kennedy-Clark on guitar/ vocals and Les on bass and vocals.

Liam will have copies of his debut album ‘The Road Out’ which entered the official NZ top 10 for sale on the night.

The atmosphere throughout the night is so exciting with the build up to 12 midnight.

Keeping with tradition, after a quick speech by the president, around 11.50 everybody forms a huge circle in both bars and around 500 poppers are handed out to everyone, the countdown begins and on the knocker of 12 there’s a massive crackle and a heap of smoke.

After singing Auld Lang Syne the party continues into the small hours.
