With the NZ property market favouring buyers due to high listings, sellers must make their homes stand out. Core Logic notes this trend but advises against delaying sales.

To compete, sellers should:

- Be flexible with pricing by monitoring local sales on Trade Me Property Insights.

- Enhance kerb appeal with a tidy garden and fresh paint.

- Declutter thoroughly to help buyers envision the space.

- Fix known maintenance issues to avoid deterring buyers and difficult price negotiations.
