In early 2025, the NZ property market has more listings but homes are taking longer to sell, creating a gap between vendor and buyer expectations. Trade Me Property notes that while prices are soft, a well-marketed property can still succeed.

To stand out, agent trainer Josh Phegan advises sellers to:

- Work with agents who find buyers from past sales.

- Stay informed on local market changes.

- Use targeted marketing for different buyer groups.

A proactive agent strategy is key to a successful sale.
