It is generally acknowledged that the most popular times for families to move home are Spring, early summer and Autumn. If you give this much thought it’s pretty obvious why. No-one much fancies viewing (or conducting viewings) over Christmas and most parents don’t want to be dragging their children around with them during the school holidays! Term time therefore becomes a prime time to sell your property.
But more than this, specific months can be great for selling your home. Here are 4 great reasons why October is a great month to get your home on the market;
1: Summer holidays are over, schools are back, kids are taken care of and there is still enough light in the evening to do weekday viewings after work!
2: Christmas is still two or three months away. Ask any agent or house builder and they’ll tell you that Christmas becomes a great deadline target for house buyers! They might not want to move in at Christmas – but an exchange of contracts before the Christmas break can give you an extra reason to celebrate and time to prepare for a move in the new year!
3: It may still be light(ish) in October, especially before the clocks go back, but cooler evenings can make for more liberal use of lights, central heating – and even that feature open fireplace. Autumn does wonders for making a home seem warm and welcoming!
4: Outside, the garden is still green or shades of autumn. Either way, gardens look great in the autumn – and the lawns in less need of a cut too – always a bonus when you are undertaking regular viewings!
There we are. What better month to list your home for sale. Contact us at Duncan Yeardley for a no-obligation valuation and make use of our local team of experienced negotiators in Bracknell this Autumn.
