As the year gets underway, Wellington’s property market is showing clear trends. First-home
buyers remain the most active, taking advantage of stable prices and plenty of choice.

Open home and auction attendance is low but don’t be fooled, demand is still strong. Buyers
are leaning towards Close Tender and deadline sales, where they can make informed
decisions without the pressure of public competition.

Across the board, buyers are focused on three things: quality, value, and lifestyle. Well-
presented, well-priced homes that are ready to live in are moving fast, while properties
needing work especially unit titles are taking longer.

With 1,034 active listings on Trademe, buyers have options. This means realistic pricing and
strong presentation are more important than ever. Homes that hit the mark attract attention,
while those that don’t are staying on the market.
