'They should sell it': Meet the tenant of a state house worth almost $4m | RNZ

The woman living in the country's most valuable state house says it should be sold, as Kainga Ora plans to put hundreds of homes on the market | Subscribe: youtube.com/RNZVideo?sub_confirmation=1

The state house is on a leafy street in Auckland's inner city suburb of Ponsonby and is worth close to $4 million.

It's next to the luxury villa Lorde sold last year for $4.3m.

Kainga Ora says it does not have plans to redevelop any of its five most valuable houses, and they are not for sale.

All are in Auckland - in Ponsonby, Henderson, Westmere and Hillcrest and each are worth more than $3.5m.

The agency intends to sell about 900 homes nationally over the next 12 to 18 months and use the money to build elsewhere.
