Now the holidays are coming to an end, are you rushing to get your home onto the market before the days start to cool and the nights draw in? If so, it’s worth moving quickly to catch the last of the summer buyers.
There’s no doubt summer is a great time to sell. Yet, the key to a successful deal is not the season or the weather but your level of preparation.
You can still get top dollar if you offer a five-star presentation even with the market favouring the buyer at the moment.
No matter what time of year, there’s never a shortage of buyers for a beautiful, tidy home that is priced realistically.
And if your sales campaign does drift into autumn, that won’t be the end of the world.
So, please talk to one of our agents about preparing your home for sale, and they’ll give you plenty of tips on how to maximise its value. In the meantime, here are some reasons to catch the wave of summer property vibes.
Curb Appeal is King: Summer is when your home’s exterior truly shines. Gardens are in full bloom, lawns are lush and green, and the sunshine highlights your home’s best features.
Bright Buyers: Your entertainment area and gardens come into their own when you put your home on the market in the summer. Buyers can also better visualise outdoor living spaces and enjoy the surroundings.
Positive Feelings: Like the rest of us, buyers’ moods improve during the summer. Your enjoyment of home-hunting is massively improved if the sun is shining. Let’s face it, the wind and rain can make the experience a bit of a chore.
Motivated Buyers: If you’re really quick, we can catch prospective buyers who’ve not had any luck this summer but are still keen to do a deal before their children begin their school year. Admittedly, we’re cutting it fine, but there are buyers out there in this situation.
Flexible Hours: Because the days are still long, we can be more flexible around viewing times. This definitely plays to your advantage by attracting additional buyers.
