With New Zealand's property market favouring buyers, sellers must ensure their home stands out. Core Logic notes that high listing numbers give buyers more choice, making competition fierce.

To attract serious offers, sellers should:

- Price realistically by monitoring the local market.

- Improve first impressions with strong kerb appeal.

- Declutter thoroughly and consider professional home staging.

- Complete necessary repairs to avoid deterring buyers.

These steps can help secure a successful sale in a competitive environment.
