AI summary

In early 2025, the NZ property market has rising listings, especially in Christchurch and Wellington, but also slower sales with days on site around 80 days. Price growth is modest due to increased buyer choice.

To compete, agent trainer Josh Phegan advises sellers to work with agents who can find active buyers and use targeted marketing. Sellers should stay informed on local market changes and price realistically, listening to their agent’s advice on strategy to achieve a successful sale.
