Kiwi Choose Property Over Passion, New Survey Reveals

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

While 'dream-scrolling' is popular, browsing is becoming more practical. Fewer people are looking at homes outside their budget, with the main motivation being to check recent sale prices.

The survey also highlights our "nosy neighbour" tendency, with many looking up friends' and neighbours' homes. A lifestyle block remains the top dream property.
