AI summary

As New Zealand's property market heats up, sellers shouldn't get complacent. Strong marketing and presentation through home staging and decluttering remain crucial to attract quality interest.

Price smartly to avoid deterring buyers who still have options; use tools like Property Insights or an agent for accurate valuation. Consider buying your next home before selling.

An auction can be an effective sales method to create competition. Flexibility with viewings and negotiations can also help secure a successful sale.

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
