House-hunting in Christchurch, scored and shared
Christchurch's rebuilt city centre, character bungalows and new subdivisions out toward the suburbs make for a broad shortlist in a market that's found its feet again. Scoring each place the same way is how you compare a Merivale bungalow against a Riccarton new build without losing the thread.
