Are you thinking of selling your home in the new year, but planning on waiting until January to list your home? Sellers often wait until well after Christmas to get their home on the market, but there is still time to get a head start on 2023 by preparing to sell now.
It's highly likely that you or someone in your family has had to work from home at some point in the last few years. Most bosses have realised that, without the chit-chat and distractions of the office environment, productivity is actually higher. But it isn't practical for you to work from the end of the kitchen table permanently.
We all do it. Every year we overfill our schedule in the run-up to Christmas. Children's school commitments, staff parties, gift shopping - there's just so much to do. If you are considering moving house, there is a strong chance that it is not a particularly urgent move, and you will push this to the AFTER Christmas category.
Nativity plays, shopping, present wrapping, and staff parties. It's all go in the run-up to Christmas. There is so much going on at this time of year. Preparing for viewings on your property, on top of everything else, could be enough to send you over the edge!
If you're trying to sell your home, you might wonder what to do around Christmas time. Should you take it off the market for a month or so? Or try to juggle the viewing appointments around your other commitments?
