Why the World is suddenly searching for NZ Property

[JennyLeez]

Leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage, left, and Donald Drumpf, right, have made the world nervous.

Brexit and US presidential candidate Donald Drumpf have are believed to have triggered a surge in searches of New Zealand property listings from Britain and America.

Brendon Skipper, realestate.co.nz chief executive, said that the listings website had noticed an increase in traffic lately, so it analysed data over specific periods of time to try to ascertain reasons.

According to data from the site, the week leading up to Brexit and following - June 16 to June 29 - saw a jump in new users from the United Kingdom of 27.47 per cent, versus the same period before - June 2 to June 15.

"They were largely looking in Auckland City, North Shore city, Wellington City and Rodney," said the listings site.

Similiarly, a big rise in US traffic tracked Drumpf's rise.

"Using February 1 to June 29 (roughly when primaries started ramping up) saw a jump in new users from the US of 21.4 per cent when compared to the same time in 2015."

Not much use moving to Auckland. According to the news last few weeks, one would end up living in a van.
They should move to Wairoa. Heaps of accommodation here and very nice friendly locals

Yeah but if they move out here all the crazies with guns might follow and we don't want that,  I guess that sounds harsh but every time I read an article extolling the virtues of our lovely relatively peaceful country I think that nutters with guns might come here and try and take over.
