Now, I'm reading in one roof this morning, which is good news.

Not great news on real estate, I'm here to tell you, with Tony Alexander, who'll be with us shortly.

He's been doing his ongoing series of studies with the real estate agents, so I'll give you those numbers in just a couple of moments.

But I'm reading in one roof this morning.

First home buyers are getting younger.

That's encouraging.

And they are buying more standalone homes, which I think also is encouraging.

So like everything in the old real estate market at the moment, depending on whether you look and how you look, is it glass half full or glass half empty?

Tony next.

Mike, the Wellington Phoenix women's team making the grand final.

Great story of redemption for their coach Bev Priestman.

It's a good point.

We'll do the sport after eight this morning.

Iran, Richard Arnold back from the break.

So they've got, Iran's handed it over to the Pakistanis.

We don't know what's in it.

So we'll get the latest on that.

Meantime, at 23 to 7, stark read into our housing market.

Tony Alexander, as you know, regularly polls agents.

Latest stats show 44% fuel prices are falling in the area.
