Auckland houses prices fall in February as volume, listings pick up
Auckland house prices fell in February, as listings rose and the number of properties sold reached its second-highest level in seven years for that month, according to the city's largest realtor. The average sale price slipped to $747,521, from $757,319 in January and was up from the February 2014 average of $678,533, Barfoot & Thompson said in a statement. Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler told a parliamentary committee last month that Auckland has a shortfall of properties needed to meet growing demand in New Zealand's fastest growing city. The central bank is considering introducing other macro-prudential tools, rather than lift the official cash rate any further, to cool an overheated property market could cause a house price bubble and lead to financial instability.

Hamburg residents take revenge on late-night revelers with urine-repellent paint
Residents of Hamburg's St. Pauli's nightclub district are getting their own back on late-night revelers who urinate on public buildings, with a new high-tech paint that sends the spray bouncing right back at them. A local interest group has applied the special water-repellent paint, also used in shipbuilding, on two especially frequented buildings in the renowned nightclub district near the port to deter "Wildpinkler", as Germans call them. "This paint job sends a direct message back to perpetrators that their wild urinating on this wall is not welcome," Julia Staron, who organized the group, told Reuters.

Mortgage rates lowest since 1968
Home loans have dropped to their lowest level in almost half a century after the Reserve Bank's surprise interest rate cut in February. Mortgage rates fell to 4.9 per cent after the cut, levels not seen since 1968 - the year Martin Luther King Jnr was shot in the United States and Hey Jude by the Beatles was at the top of Australian music charts. Home owners with a $400,000 mortgage in late 2011 - before interest rates started falling - paid about $27,200 a year in interest.
