A half-hour drive will take you from Tauranga's cheapest house to its most expensive.
A $12 million Ohauiti mansion with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms is the most expensive home on the market in Tauranga, but just across the city you will find a 34sq m single-bedroom house listed for $169,000 in Pillans Point - one of the city's most sought-after suburbs.
For $169,000, the cheapest price listed for a house and section in Tauranga, you can also buy a two-bedroom, 70 square metre home in Merivale.
Jason Hyde-Hills, of Eves Realty Willow St, said the property on Pillans Rd, Otumoetai, was the cheapest house he had ever seen.
"The reason it's so cheap is probably because it's so small. I'm getting lots of interest in that property, mostly from investors at the moment," he said. "This little ripper is good stock and very much in high demand from investors and first-home buyers alike."
