Suburb shopping, new winter survey reveals how wide Kiwi cast their net when searching for a home
Trade Me survey uncovers how buyers look for homes, from suburb shortlists to the areas topping NZ's property searches.
AI summary
A recent Trade Me survey reveals most Kiwi home buyers (38%) search across 2-3 suburbs, while only 11% focus on a single area. Buyers are evenly split between searching a tight local area and clusters within a city.
Suburbs are often removed from shortlists due to price or safety concerns. Auckland dominates national searches, with Mount Eden and Remuera being the most popular. Outside of Auckland, Christchurch suburbs like Merivale and Cashmere show strong demand, highlighting key regional trends.
