Looking to move home is one of the biggest decisions we encounter in our lives, with a multitude of factors to consider.

The timing of listing your property can significantly influence the success of selling your property, and impact the price achieved.

Historically the best time to list a home is in the Spring through to Summer months. The weather has improved, gardens begin to bloom, with the winter a distant memory.

Equally families look to capture a move before the new school year starts. Despite the Summer months being the busiest, naturally this is a time where people head away on holiday or enjoy time with the family over school holidays.

But on the whole, these months usually command higher levels of buyers when compared with the Winter months. 

Selling your home is not a one size fits all approach however, as no two properties are the same, nor customers needs.

There is a natural shift of activity in the seasons throughout the year, but the main driving factor is local market trends, interest rates, stock levels, buyer demand. You could list your home in the Winter and it demand high levels of interest due to lack of competition. You could be on the market at a time of change in interest rates and it lead to a fresh wave of interest with increased affordability from buyers.

Ultimately the best time to sell your home is when you are ready. With effective preparation, a strategy to market, and guidance along the way, you can achieve a successful sale in any season.
