Kiwi house hunters making a near $30,000 a minute decision

A new Trade Me Property survey reveals Kiwi house hunters spend an average of just 28 minutes at an open home, a decision worth nearly $30,000 per minute. The process is often emotional, with 59% of buyers feeling an attachment and 23% visiting over 20 open homes.

Despite the short time, buyers are thorough, commonly checking wardrobes (72%), cupboards (69%), and water pressure (58%), showing the detailed inspection that occurs during a viewing.
