When is the right time to sell your home? I believe there is never a right time to sell. The time is right, when it is right for you. There are many Vendors out there waiting for the warmer weather before they put their house on the market believing there will be greater interest. However, there are always buyers looking to purchase no matter what time of the year, and some buyers only ever look at homes during the winter months. If your home is not being marketed then you may miss the very person who would purchase your home. Remember you can ‘never sell a secret!’
All markets work on supply versus demand and as the cold weather moves away and the warm weather arrives, the amount of property for sale increases. Surely it would make good sense to market your home when there are less properties for sale, thereby making your property stand out from the crowd?
A Vendor has one chance for a buyer to stop and look at their home for sale. It has got nothing to do with the time of the year but all to do with how that property is represented or advertised. If that buyer turns the page of a property magazine without stopping and looking, then you have lost them. So consider carefully your choice of agents advertising. Does it stand out from the crowd? Next time you are looking through the Property Press, ask yourself - Would I stop at this page and look for a home? Why did I stop at this page? What is it about this agencys advertising that appeals to me? Would I be happy to have my home represented by this agency? Think like a buyer.
As market forces drive Real Estate Companies to put more properties on a page, it results in a hotch potch of advertising. They are trying to convince Vendors that large advertisements are the only way to sell a home but as a Company they put as many propreties on one page as they can. Consider how this would benefit a Vendor.
So if you are thinking of selling and the time is right for you - go and look through the Property Press and see what jumps out at you, then call that Agent!
