Hoping to stay informed on your own property’s estimated value and gain access to exclusive data on what the market might be like for a home like yours? Or simply want to follow your dream home, or one that recently sold down the road? Trade Me Property’s Track feature is one of the most useful property tools available for buyers, owners, and investors. Whether you’re in full property analysis mode or just casually browsing, this is a simple way to quickly keep tabs on properties you’re interested in. You can track up to 50 different addresses, and if you’re tracking as an owner you’ll unlock exclusive insight to get an even better understanding of your home’s value. You’ll be able to view and easily access all your tracked homes within the My Homes tab in the app.

How to track a property

Using the Trade Me Property App

The 'Track' feature is available on the Trade Me Property app (iOS or Android). Just go to either the Sold tab or My Homes in the app, search for the property address, tap into its profile, and hit ‘Track’ (or the + icon). You’ll be able view and easily access all your tracked homes within the My Homes tab in the app. 

Look for this icon to start tracking any property!

On the website:

  1. Log in to your Trade Me account. You'll need to be logged in to access the Track feature.
  2. Go to the Property section. Then to the Recently Sold section. This is where you’ll find off-market properties.
  3. Search for the property you want to track. Enter an address or suburb into the search bar. You can also switch to Map View if you prefer a visual layout.
  4. Click on the property. This opens the full property profile, including sales history, current estimates, and location details.
  5. Click ‘Track’. Select your level of interest in the property so we can provide you with relevant updates. Then click ‘Track’ and you’ll see a confirmation message saying ‘Tracking property’.
  6. Manage your tracked homes: Click on “My Homes” in the navigation bar to view and manage everything you’re following.
