This time of year, we always get the same kind of questions asked of us. Is this a good time to move? Should I wait until after Christmas to sell my house? What if I can’t find the property I want to buy?
No matter the question, everyone’s dream outcome is to sell high and buy low, but is that even realistic?
We think it is.
Most people wait until after Christmas to think about putting their house on the market and looking for their dream home, there will naturally be more properties coming onto the market then…
…but will you be in as good a position as you might have been if you had started at the end of the year? Probably not.
Right now, there are plenty of buyers looking for a home just like yours, creating more demand and inflating the values that you could achieve.
On just one day this month, we had 14 viewings booked in on a property, all of whom were qualified, and of those 14, 9 were people moving from London who were getting their feet on the property ladder, had good mortgage rates and could afford to spend more.
Isn’t it better to sell in a market that maximises the value of your property, so that when the new year rolls around you’ll get the first pickings of the houses that are available?
And we can help with that too.
People who have registered with us are getting to know about properties before they get the chance to go on portals like Rightmove. That means, if you’re not registered, by the time you ring to enquire about a home you might like, there are already 3 or 4 viewings booked in.
If you register for our ‘Heads Up Property Alerts’ then you can tell us exactly what you want, where you want it. You’ll get an email when a property that meets your needs comes on to the market and more than likely, we’ll pick up the phone to tell you as well!
The best thing about the market right now is that there is no pressure, which our clients really appreciate.
If you sell your home while you can maximise its value, be in a position where you’re being helped to find the house that meets your needs and it doesn’t cost you anything… if it doesn’t work out then you don’t have to move.
It works for our clients, and it can work for you.
