Hi guys...
Is there a developer or similar on here who knows what the thresholds are for the TradeMe property searches on price?
We've had an interesting situation where a real estate agent has listed a property "by negotiation" but has listed the "expected sale price" (which is used for the purposes of searches only and not disclosed) about $1,000,000 less than what the sell price should have been. This caused a whole heap is issues - namely:
- People got the misguided impression from searches that the property was of a lesser value than it actually was; and
- People searching in the higher value range didn't weren't seeing the property.
What I'd like to know is how sensitive is the TradeMe Property search feature? If you list a property for an expected sell price of say 1.5 and someone searches in the 1 - 1.35 would it show up? It's only 150k away so maybe it might? Conversely if you search for a property from 1.6m to infinity would the said property show up in the search?
Can anybody help please?
