A new Trade Me Property survey highlights New Zealand's deep obsession with real estate. The findings show 13% of Kiwis prefer browsing listings to sex, and 55% choose property scrolling over dating apps.
While 'dream-scrolling' is popular, browsing is becoming more practical, with most users checking sale prices. Our "nosy neighbour" habit also persists, as many admit to looking up the homes of friends and neighbours. A lifestyle block remains the ultimate dream property for many.
