When is the best time to list your home?

We caught up with Faye Emms, our Sales Lister and Negotiator, for her advice on something we often get asked by vendors…

𝗔: “Selling a house is a big decision and choosing the right time to put your property on the market can make a significant difference in the sale price and the time it takes to sell. While many factors come into play, such as the condition of your property and the state of the housing market, the timing of the sale can play a crucial role in your success. We find that the best time to sell a house is during the spring and summer months.

“There are several reasons for this…

  • During the spring and summer months, the days are longer, and the weather is warmer, which creates the perfect environment for showcasing your home’s best features. 
  • Gardens and outdoor spaces are in full bloom, and you can showcase your garden and its features to the fullest.
  • Families with children tend to look for properties during the spring and summer months so that they can move during the summer holidays.
  • Many people are more motivated to move during the warmer months as it is generally more pleasant to move house when the weather is good. Moving home is one of life’s most stressful experiences, and so anything to help ease that stress, is really important.  
  • The demand for properties is often higher during spring / summer, which can lead to a quicker sale and potentially, a higher price.
