56% of buyers are ready to move this winter. Sellers just don't know it.
What the latest data reveals about the gap between buyer intent and seller confidence.

AI summary
A Trade Me Property survey reveals a winter market gap: 56% of buyers are ready to move, but only 24% of sellers are listing, fearing they won't get their price. This creates an opportunity for sellers to face less competition from motivated buyers.
To attract them, listings should highlight key features:
- Suburb vibe and community
- Walkability to amenities
- Specifics on heating and insulation
Since buyers revisit listings after viewings, a detailed online presence is crucial for securing a sale.
Sellers are spooked. Buyers are pragmatic.
