Kiwi Choose Property Over Passion, New Survey Reveals

A new Trade Me Property survey confirms Kiwis' deep obsession with real estate, with 13% preferring to browse listings over sex and 55% choosing it over dating apps.

While "dream-scrolling" remains an escape, browsing habits are becoming more practical. Fewer people are looking at homes outside their budget, with most now using the site to check recent sale prices. Our "nosy neighbour" tendencies also persist, with many admitting to looking up friends' and neighbours' properties online.
