Spring into action
Thinking of selling your home? Let's look into why spring is your prime opportunity to sell.
Spring stands out as the best season to sell a property for three main reasons:
1. Sales blossom in spring
Spring has long been acknowledged as the best time to sell, with flowers blossoming, the sun coming out and gardens springing back to life. Over the past five years (excluding 2020 during the height of Covid-19), a significant 27% of all home sales in the UK have occurred during spring. This is higher than any other season!
2. Quicker sales
Time is of the essence when it comes to selling your home. On average, homes listed in spring will find a new owner in just 51 days versus the 61-day winter average. So, spring is the perfect time to sell if you're looking for a quick turnaround.
3. Your home looks its best in spring
The longer days and brighter skies lead to more property viewings. Spring really is the best time to showcase your home to potential buyers.
Plus, buyer demand levels are currently 7% higher than last year. So, now's the time to spring into action and get your property on the market.
"The property market today feels a very different place to 2023. With a softening of mortgage interest rates, and the impact of the "mini budget" fading away, confidence has clearly returned. We've seen excellent activity right across our 44 offices, from both sellers coming to the market, and buyers looking for their next home or investment. 2024 feels very much like the year to get moving, and we're here to help!"
