Ellerslie

Now, I'll put some numbers on this for you.

So if we look at Ellerslie in Auckland, There are 45 listings at the moment on TradeMe.

Quite small.

And there are 1,628 bonds, which means that if you divide those, you've got a 2.7% vacancy rate.

But is that good or bad? You'll need to look at a couple of different suburbs to get that baseline.

And so I literally did just look at five random suburbs.

Like I sat here at my desk thinking, okay, what are some Auckland suburbs? Ellerslie, Howick, Mangere Bridge, Pakuranga and Henderson.

Let's get the numbers for these, have a little look-see and see how healthy your rental market might be.

Let's, let's just embrace ourselves.

If you can't be in front of a TV or be at Flemington or Ellerslie or Wingatooey yourself, we'll try and bring you as many of the races as we can.

We'll just have a cheeky little Phantom bet or potentially a real one as well.

Uh, there's a whole lot of races on during our show.

Back from the Jugs Tour in Mexican theme.

And I've seen the Timaru Golf Club Facebook page and they loved having you, which is awesome.

What are you, 907 or something? Auckland Club, Ellerslie.

really...

Can I take you back a bit to Ellerslie when you played at Ellerslie and you played in Premier's there? First of all, who was coaching you then and the players that you were with back in Ellerslie when you were playing topside?

Then they drive home.

And that same night, someone reports his Fort Cortina station wagon is on fire in Ellerslie.

Sunday, Plumlee Walker fails to arrive for that dinner invitation from his daughter.
