Kiwi Choose Property Over Passion, New Survey Reveals

A new Trade Me Property survey confirms Kiwis' deep passion for real estate, with 13% of respondents preferring to browse listings over sex. More than half also favour property scrolling over using dating apps.

While "dream-scrolling" is a popular escape, browsing habits are becoming more pragmatic. Fewer people are looking at homes outside their budget, instead using listings to check sale prices. The survey also highlights our "nosy neighbour" tendencies, with many admitting to looking up their friends' and neighbours' homes online.
