Some of Wellington’s most luxurious properties, including All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu’s former mansion, are Trade Me’s most popular property listings in 2020.
Trade Me’s Millie Silvester said Kiwis are renowned property lovers and unique properties or million-dollar mansions are the most viewed properties each year.
“Jonah Lomu’s former Maupuia mansion was our most viewed property of 2020 with 196,000 views,” she said.
“The five-bedroom Mediterranean-style house with expansive views of Wellington harbour has an RV of $2.4 million.”
A $6.5 million mansion across town in the inner-city suburb of Thorndon came in at second with 150,000 page views while third was a five-story mansion built into the hill in Brooklyn. The property has an asking price of almost $4m and an entire floor dedicated to an indoor swimming pool.
A picturesque 125-year-old church on the Awhitu Peninsula south of Auckland came in fourth with 117,771 views.
At the other end of the scale from the vast Wellington properties is a wee cottage in Auckland.
“A tiny little cottage in the middle of Mount Eden was fifth with 78,059 views. The festive-looking green house with bright red windows has just one-bedroom and one-bathroom, and is a total of 51-square-metres,” Silvester said.
