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.

Thinking of buying in Wellington? Here's what you need to know to avoid missing out.

Don't let your feet drag. It's a slower market overall, but good properties still attract competition. We saw multiple offers and premium sale prices on well-presented homes at the end of last year and early this year — with cash offers winning on the day.

Get your finance sorted. Have your pre-approval in place before you start seriously looking. Better still, get specific approval for properties you love so you can move quickly.

Do your due diligence early. As soon as your heart flutters on a property, start your checks. The goal is to be in a position to make a clean, confident offer when the time comes.

Don't assume you're the only one thinking about it. Someone who viewed that property last week is probably still thinking about it too — and they might offer tomorrow.

Highly renovated properties are moving fast. If one ticks your boxes, be ready to act decisively.

The right property is out there.
