Why the Scent in Your Home matters when trying to Sell

Matt from

Your home should feature one scent, not several. Too many can compete with one another, confusing the buyer and drawing attention from what your home has to offer.

The specific scent you choose for your home should also be carefully considered. Many believe that baking cookies or brewing coffee makes a home smell cozy and inviting, but while coffee and cookies may smell pleasant, they may not be the best for your home when it is being showed.

Experts say that baking soda can help diffuse odours, while citrus can make a kitchen more inviting.

If you aren’t a fan of citrus, then you might want to choose a simple, clean smell or forego adding scent entirely if your home has no unpleasant odours.

Whatever you choose, the trick is to keep it simple.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
