The most frequently asked question of any estate agent has to be, when is the best time to sell a property? Ultimately, there is only one perfect time to buy or sell - and that is when it is right for you. However, if we are talking about time of year, there really is no better time than Spring and there are some very good reasons for this.
Time for Change
Just like the process of moving from one home to another, the arrival of Spring after a long cold and dark Winter brings exciting change.
With lighter evenings and longer days, comes greater opportunity to showcase your property. Better light means interiors appear nice and airy. After the dull grey days of Winter Spring also injects colour into your outside space, creating greater curb appeal for the all-important first impression.
Gardens
Gardens come into bloom and can look at their best throughout the Spring months, adding to the overall presentation of the property. Trees and grass are vibrant, flowers splash colour and blue skies are more frequent. Additionally outdoor living spaces can be showcased and appreciated.
Motivated Buyers
Motivated buyers focus their attention on moving. They're more prepared to go out house hunting and view properties when the weather’s mild. With more buyers looking, that has a knock-on effect on prices which means you could get even more for your home.
School Catchment
A major consideration for families is looking to match their purchase with the end of the school year coinciding with the summer holidays to settle into their new home and ready for the start of the new school year in September.
