When is the best time to sell?

When you’re ready is the best time !

There is no ‘right time’ to sell your property, it really comes down to your individual circumstances. Other factors such as economic and market conditions will also always play an important role in timing your sale. Opportunities exist in all markets, provided your agent knows how to position your property effectively.

 

WINTER SELLING

  1. Less stock on the market leading to less seller competition
  2. Buyers are often highly motivated given the lack of stock
  3. New financial year may present fresh opportunities for investors

 

SPRING SELLING

  1. Springtime generally sees the property market warm up with stock & buyer activity
  2. Buyers benefit from a wider range of properties, while sellers benefit from higher turnouts at open for inspections and stronger buyer competition

 

SUMMER SELLING

  1. The weather is generally better and allows agents to showcase the property at its best, both inside & out
  2. Buyer interest levels increase in the summer months
  3. Holiday destinations could benefit from additional traffic to the area
  4. Many buyers are wanting to fulfill their New Years resolutions in Jan/Feb

 

AUTUMN SELLING

  1. Buyers have settled back into routines and are ready to make bigger decisions like purchasing a property
  2. The weather turning presents some spectacular opportunities for gardens and outdoor areas
  3. The autumn market offers a good balance between active buyers and moderate stock levels
