It was to be expected that realestate.co.nz would be raising its profile once the TradeMe property guy went across to run the site. According to a poster on the TradeMe real estate message board (where there is a lot of discussion both pro and con) realestate.co.nz posted scripts and pricing related to the change. Interesting reading. including this extract from the document for a featured listing:

" For $795 you get 2 full weeks of exclusive featuring on this powerful industry
website dedicated to real estate. From examples that I have seen a listing featured
for this 14 day period gets around 2,000 to 4,000 dedicated viewings whereas over
the past 2 weeks on the site your property has been viewed X times. This campaign
leading up to the tender / auction will work well to generate interest and enquiries. "
