They are valuable real estate,\u201d she said.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the block, everyone is always asking to buy or rent carparks. I could have probably sold the carparks by themselves.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Feeney did not disclose the sale price, but said it was less than she had hoped for, so she may have to pause the renovation of her next home.  <\/p>\n<p>She told OneRoof that she had mixed feelings about leaving her home of six years: \u201cI\u2019m excited about doing something new and freshening up, because I&#8217;ve been stale for six years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy place is so nice, I\u2019m really going to miss the view and everything.

Photo \/ Supplied<\/p>\n<p>Feeney had been realistic about selling her apartment in the midst of a cooling housing market, but she understood a couple of other apartments in the block had also sold in recent weeks. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic block; it\u2019s really well managed. So people start [here] and then just trade around in the building,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I did really well in this market. I had another offer two days after we signed, which is frustrating, but you can\u2019t think about that. It was pretty cool to get something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OneRoof spoke to Feeney last month while she was busy packing up her apartment, which was listed with Nigel King of Uptown Apartments. She had told her fans on Instagram at the time that she had already made an offer on a new place. <\/p>\n<p>Discover more:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneroof.co.nz\/news\/50355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#8211; NZ\u2019s top 30 suburbs for under-35s: Best places to buy for young Kiwis<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneroof.co.nz\/news\/50317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#8211; \u2018Sell it or we will\u2019: Desperate $1 auction as lender turns the screws<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneroof.co.nz\/news\/50322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#8211; &#8216;Pizza economics&#8217; billionaire sells beachfront estate for $40m<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pointing to boxes piled around the living room and bedrooms ahead of the home-stagers arriving, she told her fans: \u201cI\u2019m packing up to move house; I\u2019m feeling a bit ragged.

Photo \/ Sarah Ivey<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause this market is so terrible, I\u2019m going to lose money on the apartment, so we thought, let\u2019s put a price on it and see what happens.

That deal goes unconditional in October, so she needed to move quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love living there, at the top of Queen Street, behind K Road, that\u2019s not really my hood. I\u2019m definitely more of a Ponsonby-Herne Bay-side person,\u201d she told OneRoof.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a block that I\u2019ve wanted to live in all along, and one came up for sale. I love the space and the location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been lots of ups and downs with this one, but I\u2019ve managed to get finance to hold me over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said her new place was a deceased estate and in need of renovation.<\/p>\n<p>Feeney announced in 2024 that she was taking a step back from her radio career to focus on herself and re-energise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome people will be shocked by this, and others will be happy,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just feel really tired.
