AI summary

New Zealand's property market is warming up, but sellers must remain strategic. Strong marketing and presentation, including home staging and decluttering, are still essential to attract quality buyers and achieve the best price.

Price smart by using tools like Property Insights or an agent's appraisal to avoid overpricing. Consider buying first and selling second due to rising prices and competition. An auction can be an effective sales method in these conditions, creating urgency and encouraging competitive, unconditional bids.

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
