AI summary

In early 2025, the NZ property market has more listings, especially in Wellington and Christchurch, but homes are taking longer to sell. This creates a competitive environment where sellers must be realistic about pricing.

To stand out, experts Josh Phegan and Gavin Lloyd advise:

- Your agent can find buyers from past sales and appraisals.

- Use tailored marketing for audiences like first-home buyers or investors.

- Stay informed on local market changes and heed your agent's advice.
