Sigh... it looks like a ZS is on hold again...
Just bought this http://www.realestate.co.nz/989994/i...s=media-photos so a ZS will have to wait for a little while, with any luck not too long but want one now, dammit...

That is fantastic! I can see why it will need to wait. What I would give to have something like that and you have a large garage!
I hate you now!

House or ZS... Hard question!
At least you can afford a house. The way prices have risen here and the whole credit crunch and fall in intrest rates have reduced what i would have considered a reasonable deposit to almost nothing.

The house prices have dropped quite a bit down our way Alan. My mother-in-laws place has been on the market for about a year with various buyers pulling out, in that time the price has dropped by £35k. Her place is a terraced 3 large bedrooms with rear vehicular access, requires some work mind and is going for £105k! When at their height a good example were fetching circa £165k.
I'm tempted to get mine valued, but worried incase it has gone the other away. At one point it was circa £250k, now more like £200k if I'm lucky. Still on a fixed rate until August............so I'll be seeing a large drop

I know what you mean... Our prices are still sticking stubbornly high as we are set to weather the downturn better than the rest of the UK. 
Take your pick though: c.10% deposit (which isn't good enough here any longer) on a terrace house, or a c.25% deposit on a detatched house in the US for the same amount down.

Don't get me going on the US property prices! I have read so many real estate brochures to make me green with envy!
