It's peak bach buying season on Trade Me Property as Kiwis seek a local getaway. A realistic seller's market presents a great opportunity to buy, with many targeting properties around the $1 million price point.

A key trend is the demand for baches with separate accommodation to generate rental income. Buyers also value low-maintenance properties with extra space in popular spots like the Coromandel, Mangawhai, and Kaiteriteri, creating a valuable family asset for generations to come.
