News about Trade Me from Fairfax Media
We announced some big news for Trade Me back in August.

You can check out today’s release from Fairfax Media Limited here, and there is a microsite that has just gone live over at ipo.trademe.co.nz. More...

Media releases: Jobs & Property
We’ve been a bit remiss about not posting media releases up on here. Apologies!
We sent a couple out earlier this month: one from Trade Me Jobs analysing what we have seen over the past quarter in terms of the Kiwi employment market, and also Trade Me Property's take on the national rental market between April and June.

On most residential and lifestyle property listings, you’ll find the new QV report section below the map and the Buyer’s Checklist, and you can buy the report there.
Once your purchase is confirmed, the report will be emailed to you as a PDF and also saved to your Watchlist, or you can download and print it on the spot.

Website for Christchurch residents switched on
Over the last few days we've been helping the Government by building and hosting a new website that went live today at www.landcheck.org.nz.
We built the site for free to assist Christchurch residential property owners work out the status of their land following the devastating earthquakes.
Note that it is a work in progress in that we will be updating it as we get new information through from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.
We hope Kiwis find it useful.
