Thinking of selling your property in January?…

If you’re in doubt – here’s our advice on why you should: January is traditionally a peak time for both buyers and sellers within the property industry. However, from the point of view of both sides, it does mean a lot of competition… and for vendors, very welcomed competition.

The reason is that this is the time where the demand can often outweigh supply. And the positive effect from the demand and lack of stock means the value of sales agreed do show an increase during this period.

Looking at data from Rightmove, the activity from their portal’s listings are almost double the usual search trend between Christmas and New Years Eve. This then leads to new buyers registering for their property search in the new year and sellers putting their properties on the market ready for their move in the Spring.

We do hope this has helped you plan on whether now is the ideal time for you to market your property for a sale agreed in the new year.
