AI summary

A new Trade Me Property survey shows most Kiwi buyers cast a wide net, with 38% searching 2-3 suburbs and 30% considering 4-6. Only 11% focus on a single suburb.

Auckland dominates searches, with Mount Eden and Remuera being the most popular suburbs nationwide. Outside of Tāmaki Makaurau, Christchurch shows strong demand, with suburbs like Merivale and Cashmere ranking in the top 10. Price and safety are key reasons suburbs are removed from shortlists.
