How long does it take to sell a house in Wellington?

In the current Wellington market, most homes sell within 3 to 5 weeks, depending on presentation and pricing. Leonie & Steve run a proven 3-week tender process designed to attract strong offers quickly and maximise competition among serious buyers.

Should I sell before I buy in Wellington?

It depends on your financial position and risk tolerance. In Wellington’s patchy market, many homeowners prefer to sell first to know exactly what budget they have. Leonie & Steve can help you coordinate timing so you’re not left in limbo between transactions.

Do I need to stage my home before selling?

Staging can significantly improve your sale price and time on market. Leonie creates customised home-preparation plans and can often help you use what you already have — no need for expensive full staging packages unless it truly adds value.

Are buyers still active in Wellington right now?

Yes — serious buyers are still out there, even when the headlines sound gloomy. Rain or shine, motivated buyers are booking private viewings and tender interest remains steady across Wellington’s northern and western suburbs.

Why choose Leonie & Steve to sell my home?

With over 500 Wellington home sales and 16+ years of experience, Leonie & Steve combine expert negotiation, honest advice, and hands-on service — no junior agents, no hand-offs, just two experienced professionals managing every detail of your sale.
