AI summary

January is peak season for bach daydreaming, with listing views surging 39%. Waikato is the most popular region, led by Whangamatā, while Mount Maunganui and Wānaka are also top spots.

Searches for properties with pools, beach access, and waterfront views spike significantly. While buyer interest is highest in summer, sellers often wait until March to list their holiday homes, reflecting the premium prices these classic Kiwi dream properties now command.
