“We appeal to readers in most income brackets by featuring not only million-dollar mansions, but also affordable houses in the suburbs, apartments, lifestyle blocks and coastal holiday homes. All are gorgeous to look at and, because we interview their owners, fascinating to read about.”
Penny Lewis - Editor, HeraldHomes

How readers engage with HeraldHomes
“If you’re actually looking for something, like if you want to go and look for a house, you know you’re going to find something, a starting point in the Weekend Herald, there will be something about it somewhere.”
HeraldHomes primarily engages as a ‘pastime’ tapping in to the ‘weekend mindset’, it also engages by ‘inspiring me’ and ‘educating me’.
What does this mean for advertisers?
HeraldHomes provides coverage of the total Auckland market – reaching buyers outside of their local area. Credible editorial content draws in potential homebuyers and results are driven by unrivalled readership combined with specially targeted environments. Sectionalisation of HeraldHomes makes it easier to target buyers whether they are actively in the market or just seeking inspiration. Midweek HeraldHomes offers a complementary environment to the Saturday product, with the credibility of the HeraldHomes brand, at an attractive price point.
Reader Profile
The majority of HeraldHomes readers currently own a home, with around half owning it mortgage free. They are as likely to be in family life stages as they are to be in empty nester home environments. They generally feel in control of their finances and recognise the importance of investing to safeguard their future.
