With New Zealand's property market heating up, sellers should avoid complacency. The October 2024 Property Price Index shows homes are selling faster, but strong marketing and presentation remain crucial.

Sales methods like auctions can be very effective, creating urgency and unconditional offers. Being flexible on viewings and negotiations can also help secure a great result.
