AI summary

New Zealand's property market is warming up, but sellers shouldn't get complacent. Strong marketing and presentation, including home staging and decluttering, remain crucial for attracting buyers.

Price your home smartly to avoid deterring buyers in the current "Goldilocks market." In a rising market, it's often wise to buy your next home before selling. Consider selling at auction to leverage competition and secure an unconditional sale. Being flexible on viewing times and negotiations can also help secure a deal.

1. Don’t skimp on marketing and presentation

You still need to present your home in its best light.

2. Price smart

3. Buy first and sell second

Buying before you sell will make the process smoother.

4. Think carefully about your sales method

5. Be as flexible without crossing your red lines
