With the launch of Christian Lewis Property a resounding success, our team is in a festive mood!
You may think few people will flock to their estate agent in Broadway to bag themselves a 'For Sale' board near Christmas! However, despite popular belief that to sell property at Christmas is a bad move, the start of winter can be a great opportunity for sellers.
From less competition to better buyers in the market, you could see a quicker sale during the festive season than if you wait until spring. So, if you're considering selling your Broadway property, here are four reasons to get it on the market at Christmas rather than waiting until Boxing Day - or the new year!
1. Buyers Are More Motivated
There may be fewer buyers around in December. But those who are searching for a new property in Broadway are often much more serious. Most of the time, winter buyers are highly motivated. They want to get things moving before Christmas and be in their new home as early as possible in the New Year.
If you want to sell your house, putting it on the market in December could be worthwhile.
2. There's Less Competition
Many people choose to wait for spring to arrive before selling their homes. While the flowering season is a peak time to buy and sell, it can leave your home lost among the influx of other property on the market.
With less competition at Christmas, searching buyers will be browsing a smaller pool of properties for sale in Broadway. When you couple this with the fact that December buyers are more serious, your property could be in high demand.
3. You'll Beat the January Crowds
Since the New Year brings us all an opportunity to reflect, it's no surprise that Rightmove record some of their busiest days in early January. Even Boxing Day sees many property portals recording record-breaking traffic.
Contacting an estate agent in January means you'll already have missed the first wave of New Year buyers. If your property is listed before Christmas, you'll be ahead of the game.
4. Get a Quicker, More Personalised Service
A quicker sale is definitely on the cards when selling your home in December – and not just for the reasons we've already mentioned.
Since the property industry is generally quieter at the end of the year, mortgage valuations, searches and solicitor responses could all be much quicker than usual. Plus, your estate agent will be able to dedicate more time to selling your home. It's important to bear in mind that at Christian Lewis Property we always offer a personalised service whatever the season.
