13 Aug 5 reasons to sell before the autumn rush

If you’re thinking about selling your property, you need to know that timing is everything. And while many sellers might hold off until the summer holidays have ended, getting ahead of the autumn rush can be a huge advantage. In fact, we’ve seen how selling earlier in the season can actually lead to faster sales, less competition and better offers. That’s not all either. Keep reading for more… 

Less competition

Autumn typically means a busier time for property as people return from holidays and look to move before the year ends. But, selling beforehand could mean that your property stands out instead of getting lost in a crowded market.

More serious buyers 

Active buyers in late summer are usually more serious and often have a deadline – be it moving for work, upsizing before school starts or simply wanting to settle before the weather turns. As a result, these buyers tend to move quickly and make stronger offers. 

Better presentation

It can’t be denied that properties just look better in the summer. There’s lots of natural light, gardens are in bloom, rooms feel bigger and our moods are lifted too. All of this will give you and your property a natural edge when marketing your home. 

Less stress

When there are fewer people moving and making offers, the professionals you have to deal with often have more availability. This can speed up the overall process and help you to move faster. And, often, these professionals are easier to get hold of. 

More time

Ultimately, selling now means you’ll be in a better position to find your dream home when the autumn listings become available. After all, whether you’re looking to upsize, downsize or relocate, having already sold means you’ll be ahead of the line.
