The episode explores what New Zealanders truly want in a home based on search data rather than survey responses.
What do New Zealanders actually want in a home? Not what they say in surveys… What they genuinely search for online. In this episode, Ed and Andrew unpack fresh search data from realestate.co.nz and Trade Me to reveal what buyers and renters are really looking for in 2026. You’ll learn: What sort of homes do Kiwis really want New Zealand’s most searched for suburb Who’s REALLY looking for the houses The broader takeaway? Property demand isn’t random. The homes that attract the most attention tend to align with how real people actually search, filter, and compare properties online.
