As the days grow longer and the weather gets warmer, the property market comes alive with potential.
Spring is one of the best times to sell your property, whether you're in town, in a rural area, or on a lifestyle block.
- Embrace the greenery: There's something magical about spring's arrival, bringing lush green grass and blooming blossoms after the dullness of winter. The vibrant colours and rejuvenated landscapes make every property look its best. This transformation is essential in photography and marketing, as a well-kept and inviting garden can significantly influence potential buyers.
At Property Brokers, we understand the significance of this season. As Guy Mordaunt, Property Brokers' Managing Director, says, "Spring's a great time to market and sell your property. The colour is back in the gardens, and the increased sunshine makes it easier to showcase and present your property." However, while new growth can be captivating, it's essential to maintain a tidy and presentable appearance. First impressions matter, and a well-groomed property will leave a lasting positive impact.
- Ride the wave of increased market activity: Spring is a bustling time in the property market, with more buyers and sellers entering the scene after the quieter winter months. This increased activity benefits potential vendors like you, expanding the pool of potential purchasers looking for properties. With more interested parties, competition in specific locations and property types can intensify, leading to better-than-anticipated prices for your property.
Spring offers an advantage if you're also looking to buy another property. A more active market means more options to explore and consider. Unlike quieter months when property inventory might be limited, spring provides more opportunities to find your dream property. Longer days see people moving more and getting active and prepared for summer. So, expect to see more people attend open homes and list their properties for sale.
- Strategic timing for a smooth transition: Choosing to list your property in spring is a smart move, not only for selling but also for a smooth transition to your new home. By launching into the market during the slightly quieter season, you and your salesperson can plan and prepare effectively, setting yourselves up for success.
Additionally, moving before summer has its perks. It allows you to find your new home in a more relaxed manner, attending various open homes and farm inspection days without rushing the process. Being settled into your new place before the Christmas festivities begin means you can enjoy the holidays without any moving stress. For those who love entertaining, you'll have a perfect spot to host a fabulous New Year's bash without any moving boxes in sight!
Moreover, early spring listings offer practical considerations like ensuring a smooth transition for children's schooling. Moving mid-year can be challenging for kids, but starting the year in a new area allows them to settle in comfortably, ensuring a great start to the following year.
Take advantage of the options available in the spring market. Give yourself the best chance of finding a property that ticks all your boxes.
