In the current NZ property market, which favours buyers, sellers must make their homes stand out. Core Logic notes high listing numbers, giving buyers more choice and leverage.

Key strategies include:

- Setting a realistic price and monitoring local sales.

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

- Decluttering personal items to help buyers envision the space.

- Completing necessary repairs to avoid deterring buyers and difficult negotiations.

These steps can make your property more attractive.
