Kiwi Choose Property Over Passion, New Survey Reveals

A new Trade Me Property survey confirms New Zealand's obsession with real estate, revealing 13% of Kiwis prefer browsing listings to sex and 55% choose it over dating apps.

While browsing habits are becoming more practical, with checking sale prices being the top motivation, our "nosy neighbour" tendencies remain strong. Many admit to looking up friends' and neighbours' properties online. The most popular dream property for Kiwis is a lifestyle block, followed by a beach house.
