00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Loving Our show partners Milestone Homes, Mid Canterbury, Belinda Pess

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: stopped by to talk how more and more locals are

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: choosing to go with a new belt.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: About fifty two percent up from this time last year.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: So up on what on housing numbers?

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah?

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Wow, it's pretty good. Yeah.

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: What are some of the common reasons why the motivating

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: factors for people to opt to build? Say buying something existing.

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: Buying something existing is as great if you find what

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: you're looking for, whereas if you build, you can kind

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: of tweak it to your own sort of wants and needs.

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got over thirty plans on our will

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 2: that you can choose from, so a lot of them

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: can be tweaked to how you need to live or

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: like to live, depending on your stage of life and

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff.

18
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Do you need the land before you.

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: No, we've got both.

20
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: Oh you can.

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: You can have your own land and we can build

22
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: on that for you. Or you can choose one of

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: our house and land packages. Or we've just got land

24
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: that you can pop our own designal.

25
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: That sensation must never get old. Handing the key over

26
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: to somebody, this is your new house. Yes, you're going

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: to be the first one on that throne man.

28
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, absolutely absolutely. I always remember the old is

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: extreme makeover with the move that bus. Yeah yeah, yeah.

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: Do you do that, no, I say, well, I say

31
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: welcome home. Ah yeah, yeah. I think that's quite quite special,

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: especially if it's their at their actual home. Some people

33
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: do build investment houses and things like that, but if

34
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: it's their own home, I hand over the keys and

35
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: say welcome home. Kind I mean, we've been with them,

36
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: you know, a good six months by the time you know,

37
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: you start your plans through to handing over those keys.

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: So we've kind of created a friendship there.

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: That's really what a journey six months it seems tight.

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: No, No, it's pretty good. Yeah, as long as you

41
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: kind of know where you're at with your plans and

42
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: stuff like that. We have our own and house builders

43
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: as well, so that kind of helps us keep the

44
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: game going and all that sort of stuff quite well.

45
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is it stressful yes.

46
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: Yes for me, But for the homeowner no. No, there

47
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: has been a comment from a few of them. They haven't.

48
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: They have found the process very easy and stuff with us,

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: which is really good.

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Again, in misconception, I sit there and I wonder if

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: my marriage is strong enough to survive picking out tapwear.

52
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: But is that something you offer a real guiding hend.

53
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, thank goodness, thankfully. When you come into the

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: show home, what you see is what you get in

55
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: a milestone, So you'll be able to test out the

56
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: tipwear and maybe test out the toilet too if that's

57
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: your if that's your worry. But what you see there

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: is what you will get, and that's just you can

59
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: change from there if you need to.

60
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: So the place to start is to come and have

61
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: a look through this wonderful show home that you've pieced

62
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: together at eight Stroll and av and we'll work on

63
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: something else in the future too, right.

64
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, we're sort of at the beginning sort of

65
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: stages of the next show home, which is very exciting.

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: Wow. But white is more.

67
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and thankfully it's not too far away from the

68
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: current one, but still process in itself. But yeah, this

69
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: is a very different and new design that we've come

70
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: up with, so part of our range still but just

71
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: a little bit of tweaks, some pulling some of the

72
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: current show home through to the new one. So yeah, hopefully,

73
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: hopefully it gets some good reviews as well.

74
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be fabulous, so standing by

75
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: for that. The current show home is open Wednesday and

76
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: Thursday from one till four, Sundays one till three, and

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: also by appointment at that suits best. Blinda's top advice

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: if you're toying with the idea of a new belt,

79
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: go and chat to the back and then go and

80
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: catch up with them at Milestone. Hopes to get the

81
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: ball rolling into the festive break. How exciting
