Nah no other details apart from that. Yeah I wonder if TVNZ gave them extra money or maybe they brought the reserve down for them. -------------

| They paid the reserve price of 295,000 and it was Mitre 10 that came thru with the extra 25K for them. Well done to both teams. |

Ah excellent, I thought some company would come to the party and help them out. That's wonderful.
It seems like that was quite a lot of competitiveness going on between the 2 families (more uncomfortable than other years from how it appeared on TV) so I hope they can forget about that and enjoy being neighbours now. |

| Yeah both teams have got their houses every year. I reckon people would stop watching if it didn't happen like that as it would seem sooooo unfair. |

that is great news....they deserved it
altho i think the market has now probably ended this show...prices are now too high for these families they are trying to help out! |

| i was interested in what would've happened if the blue team had lost because they seriously seemed to be considering walking away - talking about how the mortgage payments were too large for them to afford and still have some life! |

I agree BS - I dont think that the real estate market in NZ really allows for a show like this anymore, unless more "corporate sponsorship" is provided, but then that almost seems unfair! I think that there should be a lot more emphasis on helping people from lower-socio economic groups get into their first homes, and it doesnt always have to be about providing a 'dream home'. Lots of people just want / need a clean, dry and safe place to raise their kids. Wouldnt it be great it a program like this paired up with something like http://www.habitatnz.co.nz/ - http://www.habitatnz.co.nz/ and helped multiple families instead of just 1or 2!

Totally, Habitat does such a good job of getting families into their own homes and it's great because the people then help other families build their homes! |
