Dodging the downturn 

A ST ALBANS property had luck 

on its side when it sold for $1.115 

million at a heated auction. 

The owner had bought the 

three-bedroom property on 

Edgeware Rd for $1.016 million, 

at the height of the boom, but 

had decided to trade up for a 

bigger home. 

Harcourts 

Holmwood 

listing agent 

John Fulton 

said the sale 

was a standout, 

noting it had 

grown almost 

$100,000 in 

value. 

John 

Fulton 

“It was a really good result. 

The owner was thrilled,” he told 

OneRoof. 

Fulton said property values 

in Christchurch had remained 

relatively “consistent” during 

the wider market downturn. 

Cantabrians, he said, were 

more reserved about the levels 

of debt they took on, which 

meant they could absorb higher 

interest rates more easily. 

The city was also continuing 

to attract out-of-town buyers 

and there was still earthquake 

cash “sloshing around”. 

“I think the biggest thing 

with the Christchurch market is 

people will sell, but there doesn’t 

seem to be the pain out there,” 

he said. 

“Whereas I feel like in 

Auckland you have these real 

big boom-bust markets because 

ultimately once the interest rates 

creep up massively you have a 

lot of people who go, ‘Oh we just 

can’t afford the mortgage and 

DESIRABLE: The 

architecturally designed 

home on Edgeware 

Rd was snapped up at 

auction, growing more 

than $100k in value. 

we have to sell at whatever price 

we can get’.”

Feedback 

sought on 

Cranford St 

peak hour 

lane usage 

RESIDENTS ARE being asked for 

their preference on how Cranford 

St’s peak-hour lanes should be 

used. 

The city council is proposing 

three options for the lanes, which 

run on either side of Cranford St, 

between Berwick St and Innes Rd, 

during peak times. 

The choices include bus lanes 

with priority for buses, clearways 

for all traffic, or T2 lanes with priority 

to vehicles with more than 

one person. 

The southbound lane currently 

operates from 7-9am, and the 

northbound lane from 4-6pm. 

“We’ve been 

running peakhour 

bus lanes 

through the area 

since 2021 as a 

way of managing 

the increased 

traffic from the 

Christchurch 

Northern Corridor, 

but now 

Lynette 

Ellis 

it’s time for the council to make a 

final decision on how these lanes 

will be used,” said city council 

head of transport Lynette Ellis. 

“Each option has advantages 

and disadvantages around 

efficiency, safety and travel 

choice. However, they will all 

keep traffic flowing on Cranford 

St and minimise the impact on 

neighbouring side streets.”

Canty house buyers, 

sellers sitting tight 

• From page 1 

Other homeowners had listed 

properties they bought at the 

peak of market, such as a unit at 

1/34 Holly Rd, but he said they 

would probably only sell if they 

could get more than what they 

paid for it. 

Of the 12 properties called at 

Bayleys auctions last week, four 

sold under the 

hammer including 

two bought 

within the last 

five years. 

A sevenbedroom 

home 

on Westmont 

St, Ilam, was 

purchased as 

an investment 

property in December 2019 

for $728,000 and sold under 

Adam 

Heazlewood 

the hammer on Thursday for 

$950,000, while a two-bedroom, 

one-bathroom place on Twynham 

Place, Aranui, was bought 

for $372,000 in July 2023 and 

sold exactly a year later for 

$410,000. 

Bayleys agent Adam Heazlewood 

told OneRoof some houses 

bought during the boom were 

making a profit, but overall 

house values in the city were 

slightly down on peak levels. 

NO RUSH: Owners of this Holly Rd unit would probably 

only sell if they could get more than what they paid for it. 

He said the difference between 

profit and loss often depended 

on the individual property and 

whether it had a point of difference 

or not. 

Harcourts Gold salesperson 

Cameron Bailey agreed: “There 

are always exceptions to every 

rule, but generally speaking 

if someone bought a house in 

2021, they would be very lucky 

to get their money back on what 

they paid for it.” 

He knew of a property that 

sold at auction this month for 

several hundred thousand less 

than what the owners paid for it 

a few years ago. 

“We are probably not in the 

same situation as Auckland or 

Wellington. It hasn’t come back 

as much, but it certainly has 

come back.” 

Buyers were still turning up 

at open homes and auctions, 

he said, but they were being 

selective about what they bought 

and how much they paid. 

“We are seeing some owners 

who are trying to get too much 

for their house in this market 

and they just don’t get it, 

whereas a few years ago they 

would just sit there wait and 

they would eventually get the 

money, but it’s different now. 

Time for decision 

on lane usage 

• From page 1 

Ellis said the city council 

considered previous feedback 

from residents, commuters, 

businesses, the Waipapa Papanui- 

Innes-Central Community 

Board and St Albans Residents’ 

Association when developing the 

options. 

“We are also aware of safety 

concerns in the area – particularly 

at the signalised pedestrian 

crossing by English Park and at 

the intersection of Westminster 

and Cranford streets, so we have 

conducted a safety audit to help 

inform our planning,” Ellis said. 

“This led to the development of 

a peak-hour northbound clearway 

across all options for the 

PHOTO: GETTY 

short section between Berwick St 

and Westminster St. We’ve also 

proposed improvements for the 

English Park signalised crossing 

and the Cranford St intersections 

at Westminster St and Innes Rd. 

“Now we want to hear from 

everyone who regularly uses 

Cranford St during peak times – 

residents in the area, commuters, 

bus users, school students, businesses 

and any other individuals 

or organisations,” she said. 

“All feedback will be taken 

into consideration by our elected 

members before they make their 

final decision later in the year.”

Coaches tipping tight contest 

in race for final playoffs berth 

• By Sam Coughlan 

ONE HUGE SCHOOL rugby 

clash looks set to decide the 

makeup of the Miles Toyota 

premiership playoffs in the last 

week of competition. 

Front-runners Nelson College 

and Christchurch Boys’ High 

have locked up the top two spots, 

but below them there’s all to 

play for, with Christ’s College, 

St Thomas, Marlborough Boys’ 

and St Bede’s vying for third and 

fourth. 

Christ’s College and St Thomas 

currently hold those positions 

– but they will play each other 

this weekend. The winner is 

guaranteed third place, but the 

loser is at risk of slipping out of 

the reckoning. 

St Thomas missed a chance to 

confirm their progression, losing 

41-17 to Boys’ High on Saturday, 

but head coach Mark Hammett 

said he welcomed the pressure a 

do-or-die match brings. 

“It’s an exciting challenge. 

I think it’s actually an 

opportunity to 

better play the 

next game under 

pressure. 

“And if we do 

make the semis, 

that’s a reality of 

sport, you have 

to learn to play 

under pressure, 

so I think these 

Mark 

Hammett 

games are actually good for us.” 

Christ’s College haven’t made 

the playoffs since 2021, and 

head coach Reuben Thorne 

said the team and wider school 

was excited at the possibility of 

competing for the title. 

“This is what the boys come 

here for. This is what we set out 

to do at the start of the season, 

get into the top four. 

“Everyone’s excited about it. 

The coaches are excited, the boys 

have put a lot of hard work in, 

and they’re excited to be in this 

position.” 

Both coaches said they were 

GREAT BALANCE: St Thomas’ second five-eigth Bishop Neal offloads to No 8 Arona Fa’aiva 

during their 41-17 loss to Christchurch Boys’ High.

expecting a tough game. 

“Christ’s have been tracking 

really, really well throughout the 

season, been 

quite similar 

to us,” said 

Hammett. 

“Traditionally 

we’ve had some 

real tight battles 

down to the 

final whistle.” 

Said Thorne: 

“They’re always 

really physical, 

Reuben 

Thorne 

they’ve got a number of x-factor 

players. 

“They’ve been strong for quite 

a long time now, and for both 

teams there’s a lot to play for 

so it’s going to be interesting 

and very competitive again, I’m 

sure.” 

The loser will be overtaken 

by Marlborough if they beat St 

Bede’s, who are also an outside 

chance for the playoffs, needing 

a bonus point win, the loser of 

St Thomas-Christ’s College to 

not pick up a bonus point, and 

potentially a points difference 

swing. 

The other matches on Saturday 

see St Andrew’s play Nelson 

College away, while Shirley Boys’ 

play Christchurch Boys’ High at 

home.

Artists gear up for annual showcase 

THE SUMNER ART Society 

will hold its annual exhibition at 

the weekend. 

Previously held at the Redcliffs 

Bowling Club, the exhibition is 

being held at the Mt Pleasant 

Yacht Club this year. 

It overlooks the Estuary and is 

where many art society members 

meet each Wednesday morning 

to work on their art, enjoy the 

company of fellow artists and 

share creative ideas. 

Established in 1959, the Sumner 

Art Society has about 60 

members. Several have been busy 

preparing for the exhibition. 

Among them is Sharon 

Soderberg-White, who uses 

acrylic fluid pouring to produce 

hand-embellished works, and 

has donated one of her paintings 

as a raffle prize. 

Exhibition organiser Kilmeny 

Keyse’s landscapes and figurative 

works also feature. 

Other exhibitors include Maxine 

Burney, who has a studio 

at the Arts Centre, and awardwinning 

artist Geri Parawa, who 

works in ink. 

Suzanne Roberts’ quirky figurative 

works will be on display, 

as will Barry Mattingley’s semiimpressionist 

acrylic paintings. 

Pastels are the favoured medium 

of portraitist Rose Croft, while 

Robyn Cassidy draws animals in 

coloured pencils. Rae Manson 

prefers acrylics and her subjects 

often have a coastal theme.

Comfortable Carnival still brings the fun 

MOST CAR manufacturers 

have long abandoned the ‘people 

mover’ market in New Zealand, 

with the sales of these models 

crushed by the stampede of 

buyers signing up for SUVs over 

the last decade. 

However the people mover 

show continues for Kia with its 

long serving Carnival now into 

its fourth generation. It’s still 

doing what it has done best for 

more than 25 years and that’s 

transporting up to eight people, 

but now does it with more space, 

comfort, and safety technology 

than ever before. 

Two Carnival variants make 

the model roster here, all 

powered – with plenty of vim – 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

by Kia’s proven 2.2-litre diesel 

engine, ably assisted by a sweet 

shifting eight-speed automatic. 

Prices start at $62,990 for the 

entry level EX and scaling up to 

$72,990 for the Deluxe provided 

for this road test. 

There is plenty to like about 

the energetic 148kW turbo 

diesel that also marches to the 

performance table with a hard 

working 440Nm of torque. It’s 

a strong performer, with good 

throttle response and impressive 

low speed pulling power. There’s 

always enough zip primed and 

ready to go to effortlessly move 

past slower traffic. 

Kia’s engineers deserve 

some kudos for how they have 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build Quality 

6; Comfort 8; Passenger and Load Space 7; Styling 7; Value 

for money 7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7.5 

cleverly ring-fenced the cabin 

from intrusive engine and road 

noise. The transmission goes so 

unobtrusively about its work, it’s 

shifting is barely noticeable and 

adds another layer of refinement 

to the power train. 

The Carnival’s three rows of 

seats comfortably accommodate 

eight adults and a smart onetouch 

sliding walk-in system 

makes entering and leaving the 

third row a doddle. 

The test vehicle’s heated front 

and second row outer seats were 

a rear treat, keeping your outer 

extremities toasty and warm on 

cool days. Folding the second 

and third rows of seats creates a 

large van like 2785 litres of cargo 

area, and an excellent 627-litres 

behind the third-row when all 

seats are occupied. 

In-vehicle connectivity is 

hubbed through a high-tech twin 

digital display linking to a digital 

driver instrument cluster, and 

large touchscreen infotainment/ 

navigation system. 

The infotainment system lets 

you connect two smartphones 

via Bluetooth at the same time. 

There’s wireless phone charging 

in the centre console tray which 

alerts you if your phone is left 

behind when leaving the vehicle, 

a feature that makes life less 

stressful for forgetful types like 

me. 

To say the list of standard 

safety technologies is exhaustive 

is an understatement. 

Most of today’s headline safety 

features are offered including 

pedestrian and cyclist detection, 

lane keep assist, and blind spot 

collision avoidance assist. 

Revisions to the suspension 

make it smarter at distributing 

lateral loads on the front 

suspension, and more 

manageable through demanding 

corners and over undulating 

terrain. 

The rear suspension now sports 

longer, lower arms and a revised 

spring layout, to combat those 

sudden and often disconcerting 

changes in road surfaces. 

The Carnival’s motor-driven 

power steering has better road 

feel, weighting, and is quicker 

at responding to the driver’s 

commands. Handling is well 

controlled and balanced for such

Coasters 

Are you living off the Coast and would like to 

keep up with the local news and events? 

We have new digital editions 

available for subscription. 

We need your help to fill our beds. 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has 

23 beds for tamariki to stay during 

times of whānau stress or crisis. On 

average just 17 of these beds are filled 

due to resourcing constraints. 

Every empty bed is a missed 

opportunity to support a child in need. 

Donate today to give Canterbury 

tamariki a safe place to sleep. 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides 

short term emergency or planned respite care 

for tamariki when they need extra support due 

to complications at home. 

Cholmondeley is an independent charity 

and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to 

run. 20% of this figure is met by Government 

funding, and the remaining 80% comes from 

the generous support of the Canterbury 

community.
