Here’s why now is the best time to sell your home…
Back to school, back to business
With the children back to school, parents often find they have more time during the day to focus on other important matters. This added time can be a game-changer when it comes to preparing your home for sale. From decluttering and staging to meeting with your chosen estate agents (us!) and viewings with potential buyers, having those uninterrupted hours can make the entire process smoother and more efficient.
Autumn buyers are serious buyers
The autumn market tends to attract serious buyers – those who are motivated to purchase and settle into a new home before the festive period begins and the year ends. With the Christmas holidays next on the calendar, many buyers are eager to move quickly, making this a great time to sell. Your home is likely to attract attention from people who are not just browsing but are ready to make a move.
Get ahead of the competition
With the autumn market heating up, it’s important to stay ahead of the competition. As more homeowners begin to list their properties, standing out becomes crucial. By getting your home on the market now, you can attract serious buyers before the market becomes too crowded. This proactive approach not only increases the chances of a quicker sale but also allows you to negotiate the best possible price. Taking advantage of this early momentum can position your home as a top choice for buyers.
Seasonal appeal at its best
Autumn is a beautiful time of year, and homes often look their best as the leaves change colour and the temperatures cool down. The cosy, inviting atmosphere of an autumn home can appeal to buyers on an emotional level. With the right staging, think warm lighting, autumnal décor and earthy tones, and a welcoming feel, you can create a space that resonates with buyers looking for a place to settle down before winter sets in.
Consider your children’s future schooling
If you have young children starting school or those nearing the change to secondary school, now is the ideal time to consider where you need to be. Moving before school places are confirmed ensures you’re within the catchment area of your preferred schools, as many admissions require a confirmed current address in the summer before starting. Relocating now also allows your children to settle in to their new home and make friends before the new school year.
If your property is in a sought-after catchment area for schools
If you are in a sought-after catchment area that you no longer need this can add value to your home, making this a great time to sell as families will be looking to move in to your area.
Christmas in your new home
Imagine celebrating Christmas in a new home that perfectly suits the needs of your family. By putting your home on the market now, you could be unpacking boxes and decorating a new space just in time for the Christmas period. There’s something magical about starting a new chapter during the festive season, and it’s a goal that’s well within reach if you start the selling process this autumn.
Time to plan your move
Selling your home in the autumn gives you ample time to plan and execute your move before the chilly winter weather sets in. You can take advantage of the milder autumn days for moving and settling into your new space, ensuring that you’re comfortable and ready to enjoy the festive season.
