Thinking of selling? Act now to beat the spring rush
Every year we see a big rush of properties go up for sale in spring. The weather is improving, gardens are blooming, houses look better and feel warmer. Sellers are also motivated by timelines, wanting to move before the end of the year.
This spring rush can result in a surge of properties on the market, with supply sometimes outweighing demand. Buyers can start to hesitate with so many homes to choose between. Owners end up competing with each other to secure the best buyers available. This can put downward pressure on prices and increase time spent on the market.
The antidote is, of course, to jump in early and beat the spring rush. To get your property on the market before the bulk of your potential competition. This way, buyers will be focused on your property, giving you a greater chance of securing a multi-offer situation and a premium price. Not to mention a potentially quicker sale!
There are other benefits to moving quickly. You will be a cash buyer when the main rush of properties are hitting the market, meaning you'll have your choice of homes to move to, increasing your chances of securing the right home to suit your family. Without a home to sell, you'll be in a strong negotiation position with fewer potential conditions on your offers.
