Spring into Action: Why Now is the Best Time to Sell Your Home!

We’re heading into the busiest time of the year for property sales.

Research published by The Advisory revealed that the end of February until the beginning of June is the best time to sell your home, with the average property taking less than 60 days to sell.

They highlighted March if you really want to sell quickly!

Here are just a few reasons why more homes sell in spring than during any other season.

A Fresh Mindset

It might sound a little cheesy, but the symbolism of spring as a time of new beginnings really gives buyers and sellers a sense of hope.

Take advantage of this sense of optimism by presenting your property in a way that will catch the attention of a new wave of buyers.

Longer Days, Lighter Nights

Longer daylight hours in spring can really enhance the appeal of your home.

Now we’ve all come out of winter hibernation, we can enjoy the extended hours of sunlight, making properties look brighter and more inviting.

Make the most of the natural light by cleaning your windows and opening blinds and curtains to create bright and airy spaces. It’s just one of many home staging tips that can help your home sell faster.

Time for School

Spring is an ideal time for families to get things in motion when it comes to selling and buying, as it allows them to settle into a new home before the next school year begins.
Parents often prefer to move during the summer months to minimise disruption to their children's schooling.

If you have features in your home that will appeal to families, then now is the time to showcase them! It might be as simple as pointing out the flexible uses of that extra room which you think of as an office, but could be a play room for a family with young children.

Easter Break and Long Weekends

Often during the spring months, people find they have a little more time to dedicate to their house hunt. The long Easter weekend, followed by the bank holidays in May, provide an excellent opportunity for potential buyers to attend viewings and explore new areas.

Outside Space

Kerb appeal plays a significant role in attracting potential buyers. With the arrival of spring, showcasing your home's outdoor space becomes even more crucial. 
Mowing your lawn, jet washing your driveway and even simply planting fresh flowers can significantly impact a buyer’s first impression. And it doesn’t need to be time consuming or expensive. Even adding a couple of colourful pots or hanging baskets can really brighten things up.

Sell in Spring, Move in Summer

Of course nothing is guaranteed, but selling your home in spring means you could find yourself moving in summer rather than in winter.

This can make the whole process a little easier and more enjoyable, allowing you to settle into your new home during the warmer months, and take advantage of longer days for barbecues or just relaxing in the garden.
