When is the best time to sell my home?

Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring?

Statistics show us that Spring and Summer are the most popular seasons to sell and buy property. This is largely a result of flowering plants, leafy trees, and fresh green lawns enhancing the curb appeal of a property, along with the warmer sunny weather encouraging people to get out in the sunshine.

Over the years I have worked with many clients who towards the end of the year, found themselves reflecting on their lifestyle and/or work situations, while planning and anticipating their summer break and goals for the new year. This can create a desire for change and a sense of optimism moving into the warmer months, which often results in people making changes to their lifestyle - their job, location and often times, selling and buying property.

However, the negative side of these popular selling seasons can be that there is usually a lot more properties on the market, meaning that there is more competition for your property. This negative can be mitigated by an effective marketing campaign that includes thoughtful presentation of your property, to help it stand out from the others.

The reality is, if you want or need to sell your property in autumn or winter, everybody elses gardens will be in the same state as yours and the weather will be the same for you as everbody else. You are always going to be competing with other properties selling at the same time as you, so I believe that the best time to sell your property - is anytime. Anytime that is right for you, your family and your individual circumstances. If you buy and sell in the same market then it really is all relative.

It is however, incredibly important to present your property as best as you can. New Wave Property can work together with you to tailor a marketing campaign that will showcase your home at it's best, and help it to reach its maximum potential sale price.

We are so fortunate here on the South Coast, as we already live in paradise and it is perfect for selling all year round. I know that buyers who want to move here are actively keeping an eye out all year round, reaching out to me to put their details on our database so they can be informed as soon as we have any new listings become available.

If you are considering selling, or would simply like an up to date appraisal of your home so you can be informed of the value of your property at this times, then I welcome the opportunity to be of assistance to you.

In summary, the right time to sell your home - is when you feel ready to sell your home! Let New Wave Property ensure your absolute selling success, no matter what the season.
