New Christchurch Earthquake Support section live
As part of the relief effort, our team have been working hard to build a new Trade Me Earthquake Support Section dedicated to helping people out in the aftermath of Tuesday’s earthquake. This new section sets out several ways you can help those in need, and ways you can get help if you need it.
Since the earthquake, there have been heaps of members posting offers of housing and transport and all sorts of other things for earthquake victims. The new section lets people list and search labour, accommodation and transport. It also provides a place to list any lost and found pets. These categories are all free.
As well as links to some online resources around the earthquake, we have also included information for members if they want to volunteer to help out with the relief effort, or make a donation. More...
The Christchurch earthquake
It has been a black day in Christchurch with the 6.3 magnitude quake that struck just before 1pm today wreaking havoc. It is a real kick in the guts for the city, and our thoughts are with all those who have been affected in some way today.
Over on the message boards, people are helping each other out with advice and information, and it is operating as a place to share experiences from a very tough day. You can post your thoughts in the dedicated Christchurch quake area. When events like this hit, the message boards can be a pretty humbling place to be.
As far as we can tell, a couple of other good places to keep an eye on for information are Environment Canterbury's www.canterburyearthquake.org.nz website and the Civil Defence website. More...

Rental supply on the up
Our Trade Me Property team has run some numbers and spreadsheets about the state of play in the national rental market. Here's a short media release setting out their findings and observations.
The national supply shortage for rental property has come to a halt in many parts of New Zealand, according to an analysis of the listings on Trade Me Property in the past three months.
Across the country, the number of rentals listed in the quarter to 31 December was up 1% compared to the same period in 2009. This was a turnaround after declines of 12% and 18% in the previous two quarters. More...
